Fubar,
Who do you fly for? Really. I believe that you won't honestly tell us because if you do many of us here can point out a not so great SLI in your airlines history. Secondly, why would you care about any airlines Southwest bought in the past since as you say until recently we have been nothing more than a regional airline. Surely any "precedent"
we may have set could never have had any effect on a "First world, wide-body, international airline" that I am certain you sit in the left seat for. Please. Tell us all.
By the way. In an earlier post you called all of us at Southwest a bunch of "overpaid, third world jet jockeys". Okay..... Im alright with that. But what would you then call all of the Airtran guys and gals that you are supposedly so concerned about?
Ace....I think the emperor has no clothes and in your case I think he has an ugly past and is a nasty,arrogant sob who is bitter about his career, past,present and future and wants everyone else to be wallowing in the same misery. I honestly feel sorry for any poor crew member that has to put up your BS. Hopefully you are not the Skipper.
Now do everyone a favor and go analyze the Republic SLI...or United...or Usair or.......
