XJT Branded doesn't compete with SWA on a head-to-head basis, so I doubt SWA would put all this marketing effort into trying to unseat XJT Branded flying, which is what some people think. I just don't believe they are a threat. I read somewhere that the XJT MEC has stated recently that with current oil prices, load factors in excess of 90% won't make money. Not good.
not good at all, however its not load factor thats the problem, its the price of the ticket..................
