"Hey Sr. Barco. Try reading it again. Apparently you misunderstood!
There (sic) income was $273 million dollars. Their gains from fuel hedges were $225 million dollars. Press subtract. They would have made a grand total of $48 million dollars.....

...."It's good to see some more numbers thrown into the mix...I think I have made my point on this thread whether the number is $48 million or $148 million. My point is Southwest has a big advantage due to fuel hedges."

Way to change your tune when presented with the facts. Additionally, I sure would hope the largest airline in the world would make more money than little ol' SWA, wouldn't you?
