I didn't say "fail", I said SeaTac would lose passengers which translates into cash flow. I'd guess that SeaTac management was aiming a little higher than just "doing fine" with their latest grandious construction scheme. I admit their new terminal food court is impressive ($4 million for a glass wall?!), but SeaTac's passengers were "doing fine" without having to pay for that facility, too.
For long term success SeaTac needs to adjust their attitudes toward
all their carriers. SWA isn't arrogant. They are simply the only airline with the resources and courage to speak up.
As for "almighty," that word does have a nice ring to it. Thanks for the compliment.
