Ace,

You are right. I reread that and it did come off rather grouchy. You should have seen what I edited out.

You need to be careful about the subtle SWA bashers out there. They have been around a long time and sometimes make a dig that is not so obvious. For instance Brown's comment about 2010 doesn't (and we can disagree) doesn't match the numbers that I am seeing. There is too much happening in this industry (oil prices, stock prices all at 52 week lows, etc.) to claim that current plans won't change in a heartbeat. Oh! and be careful about what you glean off of SWAPA's website. No conspiracy theory here but we are in contract negotiations.

The SWA bashers use any number of arguments to justify why they are where they are and must point out flaws that SWA has (real or imaginary) to make their decision seem to be the right one.
