SWA new city? SHOCKING

[Phil O'Sopher]

Typically, the quarterly earnings press conferences have been the place to hear the new announcements. You can hear them by logging onto www.southwest.com and registering before the event. This is where all the fleet news, expansion plans etc are made official. They are usually the 3rd Monday of the month following the quarter, so look for the next one around Oct 20th, normally 10:00 - 10:30 am Eastern.
Re: new city: my guesses: CLT, DFW or MEM.

Planet Mars!

Well, that takes care of the shocking part...

Phil O'Sopher,

Hey-Mars is the closest it's been to Earth in 60,000 years what a market to tap, what a scoop!

You heard it here first. ATL or some satellite airport close to ATL. Look out Delta. The AirTran/Southwest double team is about to kick in.

Just a guess. But that would be very SHOCKING considering there are no gates at Hartsfield. If any company could find gates where there are none (or go to a nearby airport - i.e. Peachtree DeKalb) - SWA could do it.

I pray for US Air's sake its not ABE. That would destroy PHL. Now if I could just get on with SWA then thats another deal alltogether.

SPA

flew from Jackson MS to BWI last night. It was very clear (for a change). the captain and I were discussing the new city issue and after looking at the plethora of people in the CLT/SPA/CAE as indicated by the billions of lights on the ground we scientifically concluded that SPA is next.

 

[General Lee]

Slug,

That very well could be. GSP is also fairly close to the ATL area and potentially could pull some passengers away from ATL who live between both cities.

Bye Bye--General Lee

Honolulu

Mark my words, Honolulu.

Man I hope I'm right, I hope I've been hanging on to those rapid rewards tickets for a good reason! Of course, they would probably have one restriction: not valid for travel outside the Continental US. d@mn the luck.

Ok, I don't know how I did that, but I vote for DFW. It would be great to be able to get convenienly out of the Metroplex with the family for once.

Any word yet?

I heard N. West was scalling back their ops at MEM and Southwest was looking at starting up there.
