Seems like a small price to pay if it drove increased traffic to their website. Maybe they got a good ROI on this "mistake"?

Gee I hope they target fast food next bc my food looks nothing like the picture on the menu. This was an issue that was solved in a movie called Falling Down.

What would Herb think of this? Would he approve?

Ha Ha good point I think some dating websites might be liable too lol

I've often said there needs to be a "Truth in airline name law" places like "Fine Air" and "Rich International/Air" should not have been issued certificates

Southwest is busy with the next merger…Alaska or Hawaii?

Anyone else think that something is up at Alaska? Delta trying to head it off with competition?

my guess.

"About Average" is the new "Chunky".

Oh the horror, SWA honored any request to pay the fair advertised on TV. They should be water boarded.

Obviously Hawaiian's Airbuses and business model hardly fit in to the SWA 737 LCC domestic business model, but AK's 737's don't really don't fit either. Alaska has been successful by being the opposite of SWA, semi first class for a little more service as opposed to a passenger base that is looking for a bargain regardless of of inflight amenities (SWA).

Really. there isn't an airline out there that isn't "guilty" of something similar

Stranger bedfellows, SWA takes out AT for DAL, then AK. Then the NWO for airlines begins anew.

If you want to completely destroy any semblance of what was left of the SWA "culture" merge with AK. What you would have is an airline similar to what happened when USAir, Piedmont and PSA merged.

AA will buy HA and would be a good fit in our network (although they'd have to bring the HA pilot pay up). The shifting of flights, DAL actions as of late, the pieces fit nicely and we shall see.

Good analogy.
