Southwest only needs to let the fur fly and wait for the pot of gold to fall out of the sky thanks to LaHood and like minded politicians.
The real winners would be the jb pilots, an amr jumpseating with us a said they only had 100 pilots under the age of 40 there and I wish I could remember the average age of As and Bs but it was enough to say hello mass movement. If you were a mid 20 year old hire at JB and they merged with AMR you'd have a great career IMHO, hence, Charlie Sheen winner.

You mean the plethora of billboards featuring the E175s that are plastered around downtown Atlanta? Yes, I've seen them but I assumed they were saying "we want out of the rj business." I guess I should've read them sense it seems as if the company wants airplanes , E175s, biut doesn't think their employees are good enough to fly them.
