In 5 years I bet they are no where near the top anymore. Nice try though.
I made no assumptions about what will happen with SWA in the future.......unlike you. It seems assumption is your forte, though. I've been in the industry 2.5 decades, through multiple contracts, the gulf war, 9/11, mergers and at 2 full-blown cycles and I haven't got the future pegged. Here you are, a 20-something regional pilot, probably 5 years out of a 172 flight line and you've got it all figured out.
At first glance, it's halarious, but upon deeper investigation, it's quite scary. God, some of the new kids these days.................
