SWA goes after RJs again

[HowardBorden]

He's "calling me out?" First of all, I don't go that way, and there isn't anything wrong with that.... Second, there is no way to verify. He is probably frantically searching for another "pax flight" that leaves somewhere at 1210am, and has one single back up afterwards. It ain't gonna happen. I already won. I figured it out already. Somebody, anybody, find another 1210am push allnight at a SWA hub, with one back up, that is not a cargo plane.

Here was the original wager:
My God, you simply have no ability to sit back and let a discussion ensue! You simply must show your all knowing wisdom. Well, you are just flat out wrong on this one. Your all knowing omnipresent intellect is flat out wrong. Delta will not gain ownership of the Love field gates. I have shown you exactly what the governing body concerned with the divestiture of the gates has said, and it has said Delta will not be allowed to bid on those gates.

Another LCC, as defined by the DOJ IS interested in those gates:
Southwest does desire the two Love Field gates that American Airlines must surrender as part of a U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit settlement. Kelly's argument: Southwest can't enter the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport market (without surrendering Love Field gates), and therefore Love Field is the only place in North Texas where it can grow.

I am prognosticating into the future and claiming you, with your superior industry knowledge, are flat out wrong; incorrect; erroneous; imprecise and inaccurate. Delta will NOT gain ownership of the gates being divested at Love field.

As a matter of fact I'm willing to place a wager with you and I will give you 2-1 odds. My assertion is that the two gates divested at Dallas Love will most certainly NOT be obtained by Delta Air Lines. If Delta does indeed obtain ownership of the Love gates I will refrain from posting on this sight for 2 months (60 days.) If Delta does not obtain the gates divested from Love field I will ask you to refrain from posting on this sight for 1 month (30 days.)

You have made it quite clear that your industry knowledge is unsurpassed, when you state that "I'd say there is a good chance to gain gates at DAL." , I unequivocally disagree and assert your premise is absolutely false and you are remarkably misinformed. Please accept this wager and prove me wrong!






Secondly, I told you I can commute home on two flights, one leaving at 12:10 am. I never said how I could do it simply that I could show you what they are and prove it. I never said it couldn't be a cargo flight, I never said any of the other things you are stating. I can back up my assertions with proof of what I have said. I am disregarding any of the propositions you have put forth because those are your restrictions and I have never said any of that. If you want me to prove my assertions you will need to agree to stay off this board for a month.

Inferior? Hardly. I could really care less.

Your history along with you 'new' job with Daddy is all I need to know about you. I think most on here know who the loser is. As a matter of fact, it isn't even close.

 

[General Lee]

Howie,

You're going WAY OVERBOARD. I gotcha. You weren't responding to me, actually to someone else. I just figured it out. Enjoy Burnsville. So, are the Spirit guys LAS based too?


Bye Bye---General Lee

 

[General Lee]

His IP wasn't tracked. That's what some idiot over on the APC cesspool claimed, without any proof, of course. The General has been posting here since the late '90s. He's a pilot. Deal with it, losers.

Thanks PCL, but as you have figured out by now, we are dealing with complete losers. Scoot is a lav dumper/ elderly Chippendale, Red is threatened by your knowledge of the "inside", and Howie is trying to cover his "Gopher"
Tracks. You do good work. Throw an app into a big 3 based down South...

Late '90's my a$$, i've been on here since 2000, that moron popped up a few years later. It was right around the time lowecur vanished...

Nah, even though the join date on my profile says 2002, I started pre 2000. I contributed some cash when members had to save this place from extinction. Glad I did, fun times. I went on a 2 week Alaska cruise back in 2000 and the internet was out of touch, so when I got back there was a huge "Where is the General" Thread. (I looked it up, couldn't find it, though)

I have been booted off a few times, I've had Mods booted off, and I have talked to the Webmaster a few times, who wanted me to stay.

Have a great 6 leg day Canyon!

You guys are all FANTASTIC! Thanks for playing!

As I said before, your looking at the wrong city pair and the wrong base. Keep searching Junior Sherlock and maybe you'll come up with it.

Riiiiiight. You do allnighters home from a base with two flights avail, the first one being 1210am. (DL has a 1245am, your second choice) It has to be a West Coast base, they have allnighters. OAK doesn't work. PHX, nah, not really. DEN? Nah, not enough. Vegas? Yup. That's it. Then Google 1210am departures from LAS. And sorry, the Spirit flight arrives at 506am at MSP, and continues onto ORD.

Yup. Keep dancin Francis. Hey, I've always said I live in ATL. No biggie sport, just bid MDW and your commute will be a lot shorter.

Of course I won't take your dumb bet. But, I would like you to prove that there is a 1210am push to somewhere and only 1 backup. That's what you stated. And, it has to be from a SWA base, and a scheduled AIRLINE flight. Don't go bogus and say "I fly UPS...." Most commuters who don't live in one of your bases don't want to hitch a ride to the cargo side of any airport.

This will prove whether or not you are a liar. Your move. Gimme another city pair with a 1210am push and a back up.

So, you take Spirit to MSP from LAS at 1210am? Which nights usually?

Wrong again smart guy. You got the right half of the country, but wrong base.

Uhhh, it looks like it is 1-1, although I don't remember the one I supposedly lost. He can't come up with a 1210am allnight push with a backup he told someone else he commutes on. Did he lie? If he says a cargo plane, we can check departure times on Flightaware. He is gonna lose this one. And, who cares if he commutes on Spirit to MSP?

Howie,

You're going WAY OVERBOARD. I gotcha. You weren't responding to me, actually to someone else. I just figured it out. Enjoy Burnsville. So, are the Spirit guys LAS based too?

Well I guess it's two to nothing. I showed you what the first wager offer was and you lost that one:

Dallas city manager A.C. Gonzalez announced today that he would approve an agreement between Virgin America and American Airlines to transfer the lease on two gates at the city-owned airport to the San Francisco-based carrier. American was forced to divest the gates as part of its antitrust settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice related to its merger with US Airways.

And since you've said: "Of course I won't take your dumb bet." You're unwilling to let me show you that I'm right again. Don't worry it's exactly what I figured.

This is quality entertainment.

Man, I'm not catching up to this but why would UPS or fedex be bogus?
Hmm, $50-90 to catch a shuttle to a hotel- or a $10 cab to the other side and be in your own bed?

I know what I'd choose

This thread is pure gold! The title needs to be "Troll Fight".....

This thread is pure gold! The title needs to be "Troll Fight".....

You know what they say about arguing on the internet.

Of specific humor to me, is that this is the crowd who touts their riches and extensive time off. I guess this is what you do with 200k a year and 18 days off?

 

[redflyer65]

Hey, if you where here you could find out first hand.

I hear Delta is good too, just have to perfect that 3hr terminal walk and you'd have it made!

 

[SpauldingSmails]

Thanks, already at DAL.

 

[PCL_128]

My favorite part is the loser who mocks those without a college degree who can't even figure out the difference between "where" and "were," "their" and "there," and "your" and "you're." He's a real college genius, that one! :laugh:

If you had read his original post to the other guy, he made it sound easy, with a 1210am push and then a back up. If you go Cargo, most aren't really "scheduled", plus where is the back up? On the other cargo ramp? Not every airport has cargo in one area (like ATL). I guess he would run across actives to catch his back up??? Doesn't make sense, and isn't easy.

So Wavey, I figured it out, and Howie lost. I stated I would take him up on his bet, but for 1 week off, not a month. All he has to do is find a "scheduled" 1210am push with ONE back up to his home city.

Go for it!

Not when you do one leg to Europe or South America Red. One leg over, one leg back, two opportunities for sundaes. Darn Fannnntastic!
