Scary results, indeed. A few more quarters like this and the intelligentsia in DC and NY will be calling for more regulation to further "deregulate" the industry. I can just hear Chuck Schumer now: "The profit margins by the Big 4 US airlines have just become obscene!"
Check out this clip around 1:15 when Gary Kelly gets crap from some CNBC pundits, for...wait for it...too high fares and not enough competition!

Up until then they only had DC 8's and DC 9's, is that correct?
