So we had a great quarter ... and missed expectations. Those were some pretty stonkin high expectations, given that even the mighty SWA is posting a loss.
None the less, bet I our stock gets pounded because we "missed."
I'm pleased with the numbers. Maybe our management will find some merit to getting into the airline business, instead of simply running a glorified travel booking service.
