SWA hiring and international growth. From Gary

[Lear70]

Lear,

Thank you dis-missing the facts and avoiding the questions directed towards you.

cheers!:beer:

If you'd laid out any "facts", I'd have debated them. Since you didn't, I corrected your false basis for a SLI with the facts of established past precedence and AirTran's established profitability.

Look forward to seeing you on the line in a year or so to buy you that beer.

BTW, I love that avatar, is it a glider? The yellow just makes the thing pop.

It's distracting as HELL in a debate is what it is... I have a thing for gliders.

Heh heh... you were right, though. Celebratory bottle of wine and typing fast.

Man.. I'm going to take glider lessons!!

Seriously..lots of angst and speculation. Whatever the end result, SLI by negotiation or arbitration, one company and one list will be the result. At that point we can either continue to live in the past (destructive) or continue into the future (cue Kum-Bay-Yah....)

I am sure we could settle all of this if Tanker Turd would show up and tell us exactly what is going at SWA HQ. He is SOOOOO in the know, I am SURE that he knows!! Oh Turd......come out to play!!

You say this jokingly, but there's more truth here than most people realize. I would bet TC is a well-connected SWA CA. He's pretty good at tweaking the thin-skinned types on this forum, especially because he does it with some info that has been pretty spot-on.
Flame away, but ask yourself why a retiring KC-10 driver (who's been retiring for years) would get his rocks off by spending his time on the majors forum at FI.

 

[Moon-dog]

Because he is a TOAD and they are strange!!

Point taken. Can't argue with that.

And he's been wrong a lot. Maybe Swa- but I doubt well connected means anything to those who are, much less those who SAY they are
