Tonite: Boston?

what makes you think there will be an announcement tonight...that article looks like it was april of 2008???

MDW Message. Sometimes stuff gets announced at the MTFs. I used the article to illustrate that Gary said maybe we'd go there some day. LGA-BOS, does anyone do that route? Maybe that day is this Fall? Just spitballing.

BOS

....I'm shipping up to Boston....to FIND MY WOODEN LEG!

 

[N1kawotg]

It is Bos- the company website had it then it was removed. I guess the forgot that Gary wasn't announcing until the Message to the Field tonite in MDW.

 

[RedDogC130]

Yeah just saw a link to it on pprune...

Delta shuttle does it once every hour.

 

[Scope out RJ's]

Oh great, just one more airline to add to the LGA-BOS market!

I disagree, there are plenty of Irish in the BOS area.

I was being a little sarcastic, but I don't believe we can keep up with once an hour with our 7 slots.

 

[GuppyWN]

Boston?

Wonder how this will play out in MHT and BDL?

Gup

With all the smoozy characters in Quincy and Braintree, we'll just tell them we're starting hourly service..........they will never know the difference.

02-18-09 | Southwest Airlines Announces Future Service to Boston
Gary announced tonight at the MDW Message to the Field that Southwest Airlines plans to begin service to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) sometime this fall. We have not released specific service details yet, but Southwest would like to begin operations at BOS this fall with a conservative number of flights. Check out SWALife and your EmployeeNews e-mail tomorrow morning for additional information regarding our decision to serve BOS.

guess it is official

I like your thinking.

Looking forward to some Harpoon Beer.

I think we're buying JetBlue.

We don't have to dress-up like indians do we?

Before long southwest is going to be another "real" airline going in to "real" cities with "real" labor problems and high costs.

Mark my words. Southwest is really getting away from the bread and butter that has served them well over the past 30 years.

In the end, when the fuel hedges are gone, and labor is too expensive, the LUV isn't gonna help. I am just curious, why do they feel the need to get away from a business model that has worked so well for so long?
