Well, I was definitely NOT talking about SWA.

I was talking about any airline that comes into a market, sells tickets at dirt low prices with a bunch of pomp and circumstance, pays their employees next to nothing and drives semi-healthy airlines under. I'm laughing at VAs timing to come into SFO, probably one of the most expensive airports to operate out of, fuel prices at record highs and weak economy to boot. If they weren't coming from deep pockets, I wouldn't think they would last as long as they have.

Heck, maybe Alaska management can contract out some of our flying to their pilots, it'de be cheaper afterall.

I'm not ****ed at any pilot group in fact I commend the VA bubbas for the risk they are taking with a new airline. I'm sure it was equally as risky for SWA guys 15-20 years ago when you were some of the lowest paid guys on the street and the legacy dudes were making the big bucks.....with promises of quick upgrades etc. it is still a gamble. I just can't stand these crack head executives trying to make a quick kill.

Everybody in here takes comments so personal and so dam quick to take offence....to quote Pulp Fiction......"***** be cool"
