Let's all move on, shall we? Back to the thread:
I would expect to see the 1000 TPIC also go bye-bye within the next 2 years. With our slow upgrades, lack of variety, and now industry-lagging contract, we really don't have a very compelling case vs. the Big 3. I've spent a lot of time in RJ jumpseats over the last year, and I'm hear to report that SWA most definitely is NOT the airline everyone is gunning for these days. :erm:
Then again, it also seems eerily similar to the environment in the late 90's when it wasn't very popular to come to SWA (why else would they have hired my dumb-a$$?) Though I ended up having a pretty good ride over the last decade & a half. Crazy business....who knows what's going to happen next?
