The future of Southwest Airlines

[SWA Bubba]

Lol-my Mother-in-Law when she's drunk and is losing an argument yells, "You know what?" Keep it up, Bubba. :bawling:
Actually, she also says it multiple times too. Are you my mother in law?uke:

No; actually, I've done some genealogy research, and discovered that you and I are NOT related. In fact, when I say my bedtime prayers each night, one of the many, many things that I'm thankful for is the fact that I am NOT related to Jonjuan in any way, shape or form. :beer:

We still need to go bankrupt a few times and get a few Federal bailouts before we are truly a legacy.

Got the BK's, but what "federal bailout" are you talking about???? Other than the ATSB (right after 2001 loan guarantees that went to America West and a couple of other SMALL airlines and were actually repaid) and the PBGC taking over the pensions I am unaware of any fed money being spent on the legacy's behalf, certainly not "bailing anyone out". In fact ask the average PBGC recipient if they feel bailed out, turns out those pension promises were impossible to keep.

Bottom line is though that I hope SWA thrives and continues to set the example for even the legacies to follow on how to make profits, pay employees nicely with annual raises, maintain a pleasant working environment, and have nothing but smooth landings going forward. No ill will, just observing that the next 20 years for SWA or any other airline, will not be like the last 20 years.

You know what? I've been reading your posts for quite a while, and do you know what I've discovered? I didn't think you're full of luv at all...

To quote a now infamous AirTran pilots response to Gary Kelly on the subject of LUV - "Yeah, more like prison love".
