Generaltso, we eat bag lunches from Chick-fil-A

Speak for yourself, some of us bring Whataburger.

Im just curious, what do SWA pilots eat on transcons? With no meals or what not, do you guys just grab stuff in the airport terminal or munch on snacks? Or do you guys have crew meals on board?

Chick Filet would be good.

i hope Delta get's an awesome contract. I also hope they make way more money than us that way they can stop hijacking SWA threads.

The real question is can DAL pay more and make money at the same time? if so, for how long before they ask for concessions? UAL and DAL already proved that they can get awesome contracts...but they also proved their airlines were in no position to honor them for an extended period of time.

10 bil left of debt. If you owned a company, what would you do? I wouldn't give raises any time soon.

Yeah- but they have money to pay out execs 3 times what GK gets- explain that first

Good info, but nothing new. Southwest likes to evolve, and always will.

Actually, "evolving" is something new for SWA. They've historically been resistant to change their business model, but have found they have to, I guess.
