yeah, great plan.
you think airbus wouldn’t make deals to steal an all Boeing customer?
I’m conflicted about this in general. Wall Street looks out for Wall Street so I’m not terribly concerned about the stock price tanking. If Wall Street thinks SWA is going to spend money on capex and reinforcing the operation instead of buybacks and dividends, that ain’t the worst thing for those of us who punch a time card at SWA.
However, if you’re holding out hope that our geriatric boomer *******stixx on the board are going to come to Jesus because of this and reinvent our brand to drastically increase profits, I’ve got some beachfront property in Arizona you may be interested in. We are going to muddle along until Gary Kelly and his ilk croak. After that, all bets are off.
