No way to know for sure. Where would DAL have been if fuel prices hadn't spiked through the roof in 2008? What if we had done a better job at hedging fuel then? There are all kinds of variables that can affect the "bottom line." My point is that a happy, motivated work force has a VERY significant effect on the bottom line too. Unfortunately, that effect cannot usually be quantified. SWA understands this, it has been one of the real keys to their success over the years, and I highly doubt they would just throw it away. But you never know, Ed Bastian could become the next CEO at SWA and all bets are off!
