SWA goes after RJs again

[Ty Webb]

RJ...737...it's all the same. Coach seats are hideous no matter which airplane. Take your pick...lean sideways for two hours in the window seat of an RJ, or enjoy the delights of a middle seat on a 737. It's like arguing over who has the best seat in Hell.

Winner! :laugh:

How positive of a message would it be if Delta said things like "Don't line up like cattle ever again" (Guy in background under a Lubbock sign eating a corndog) or "Fly with us, at least we get you there on time unlike that Not-so-low-cost carrier again!" or "Use your miles to go to places you really WANT to go...not the 80 cities they fly to in the lower 48".

Someone needs a hug. AWA went after us with the mosh pit commercial. It was funny and SWA ran with it and fought back with a low fares response, or something of the sort.

Stop being such a pu$$y Lumberg. You have your loyal customers and we do to. There's nothin immoral about pointing out the fact we don't sell off our flying to :

Express jet
GOJET
Chautauqua
Compass
Endeavor
Shuttle America and
Skywest

It's just business. Tell your marketing toads to bring their A game.

But wait, Delta is getting 88 717's and RJ's are heading to the sand. Just ask Genital, he will tell you all about it if you didn't know.

I'd rather take one of Delta's 70-seat RJs any day as compared to a SWA 737. At least I can get a business class seat on the RJ. Hell, at least I can get any assigned seat rather than lining up for the cattle call.

Ironically, AirTran did exactly that:

Different business models. Seems to have worked okay for SWA for-How many successful years IN A ROW of profits?

Since Room's usual tactic is to start a unit measuring constest to cover his inadequacy...I"ll play along....I think your profits is what Delta paid in taxes last year......but I digress

Good for you guys, Bill. Believe me when I say I'm genuinely ecstatic that DAL and the rest of the big boys have finally come out of the BK car wash and are FINALLY adding something substantive to Industry pilot pay compensation pool. It's making it much easier for us (or should be) to make our case for better pay, QOL and bennies.

It's tough shouldering that responsibility on your own while the rest of the industry is in the tank. But, YOU'RE WELCOME for keeping the bar UP for the last umpteen years.

Wow, you're an idiot. Newsflash: your rates still haven't come close to Delta's rates from a contract inked 13 years ago, dumbass.
