Ha! Let's get 20 "wall at bets" style captains to buy 5% each! We could control 100% of what happens from here!!!

Right? I get that our entire bottom line earnings for October was +$20mil, due entirely from accounting tricks.. but when I think about Frontier, AA, and JB losing money horribly in Q3.. I mean, a bottom line profit is a profit nonetheless.. we're still on track for almost a Billion $ in quarterly revenue.. so.. I still don't get that we don't have a revenue problem, it's the expenses that just aren't in line with our revenues that seems to be our problem.

The AirTran acquisition taught SWA some things and it makes me wonder that SWA thinks twice about repeating that mistake.
Just curious what planes they can get their hands on, if ordered new, right now, delivered by 2030? Or you mean order planes by 2030 and just take a 2045+ delivery? Alaska is adding Rome flights and getting their hands on LHR slots now, I hear, they (WN) can afford to sit still and watch Alaska leapfrog them?
