SWA profits off 77%

[lowecur]

Thanks in part to a large write down in values of their fuel hedging contract, SWA earned .06 per share. The one time write down of the contracts is most likely due to the big drop in oil prices the last few months.

So, I see SWAPA has a new leader. Hope he's got the right stuff to last a few years, as Gary & Co. foresee this thang dragg'n out for that long.

It already has been said that most of the decline was due to the temporary TSA restrictions..nice try

It's the end of the world as we know it.

I think it's high time SWA raise fares some more. The SWA pilots should also be looking for a hefty raise given the fact they are the most profitable company.

SWA/FO, I support your career ambitions. Just be sure to apply to a carrier that has EMB's....

FedEx is hiring. Clearly SWA is claiming poverty when it comes time for negotiations.

Lowecur..."You gotta call on line one...I think it's the Aflac duck."

I love your predictions because they are usually wrong. I guess I should sell that EMB book I bought on Ebay.

Sit down and please stop shouting, you very annoying man.

BTW, this from the same genius who just months ago was convinced SWAPA was going to bring the company to its knees.

Still looking for the order...

Lowecur, have you suffered a disfiguring accident?

the only thing I agree with is the first 4 words of this statement.

Profit...

OK, I won't lie and say I wasn't disappointed about SWA 3Q. But bottom line is that we did make a $48 Million dollar profit after a huge write off. That is still a profit, although somewhat meager.

Excluding the write off the profit was $154 Million or .19 cents a share, missing estimates by .02 share. It does prove that Southwest is not immune to all the other enviromentals that affect everyone. But we have a amazing front office and I am sure they are on the case.

Peace out. (NORCAL controller)

I want to thank you for a mouthful of water going through my nose as I tried to not burst out laughing.

What part of "One time write-off" didn't you understand?

So Gary will bail us out, but Gary will get what he wants, so which is it?

What part of "Market closes above 12,000 for first time ever" didn't you understand?

Hey LowerIQ,

Did a SWAPA Brother do something to your Wife, while you were out of town?
