Can somebody tell me how many passengers did the B727-100, DC-9/20-30, and B737-100/200 carried?. And also weren't those the A/Cs that the mainline folks where flying to the same spot he's refering to?. The only difference now it's a slight more competition, and higher margins for the companies due to lower cost now in comparison to then and not much of a price difference. Get rid of a few regionals, load still remains the same, and see what the majors do. And tell those airports that require something smaller than 73s to kick SWA out of their property. They shouldn't be there.
