expansion, guess SWA is not the only one playing hardball with
airport costs!!

Big f-in' deal! Their loss. Wouldn't surprise me with the way most airlines are mis-managed anyhow.

Gimme a friggin break.
By the time legacy carriers get their costs down to a level that they can compete in the market with, it will be too late. We are continuing to grow and scoop up market share while the legacies are shrinking.

This is a game of attrition, and the legacies are losing quickly. They will all be out of business within a few years, leaving Southwest with 75% of the domestic market.[/QUOTE]




Yawn

 

[SWA/FO]

Ya,

NWA,DAL,UAL,AA,CAL,USAir, every single one of them will be gone in the next few years, and SWA will rule the world. God you guys are arrogant.

The congress just passed an energy deal that would give already profitable oil companies more money...why can't they do the same thing for SWA. Why is it that this country is so against businesses that are profitable but would rather subsidize DAL UAL and AA. Where was this help for Braniff and Pan Am when they needed it. Start reading some of the articles in the Dallas morning News and you will see politics at its finest. DFW does not need to be protected anymore. The only true reason for the Wright Amendment in the first place was because, high profile Braniff of the 1960's refused to fly from Greater Southwest field. SWA did not exist when the agreement was made and deregulation came along years later. Jim Wright is dead and AA is almost dead. The best thing that could happen for AA SWA and DFW ( airport and texas) is for some good ole fashioned competition.

What subsidies are you talking about champ?

Or just more anti- I didn't get hired there so i'm gonna bash them while there down rhetoric?

The Wright ammendment is a subsidy for AA without a doubt. That was not the initial intent, but that is the only purpose it serves now.

I was referencing his statement towards the three: DAL/UAL/AMR recieving subsidies. But thank you for your reply.

Utterly, the most backward a$$ perspective one could have. When did SWA begin hiring such mental miscarriges?

 

[SWA/FO]

An American guy calling a SWA guy, arrogant? Never thought that would happen
