SWA will not be profitable after the fuel hedging expires. I remember some of us at the legacy carriers who were pretty cocky after our contracts came out in the early 00's....we foolishly complained that SWA was keeping the bar low with their pay....whoa! now look at us....history has a very evil way of repeating itself, so enjoy the ride at the top and try to force yourself to be humble!
carry on!

I see they have put the midwest on sale to try and get some marketshare back. In the last quarter the emphasis has been on maintaining price and it should show in their 2nd quarter profit numbers, but Gary and Co are now starting to worry about losing market.

Ya lost me there pally. What would you like me to say? I'm only a champion of Jetblue when the 190s have had a year in service, and we get a good cross-section of just what the a/c is doing for the CASM/RASM, which in my opinion will be sensational.FlyBoeingJets said:Lowecur,
You've beat up SWA on BELF and load factors in months past. What do you make of these apples?
