Really?

SWA only has coach seats so how are they getting "...higher yield passengers too." ?

I bought a 1.5TB external drive at (I think) Wally World... Works good, lasts long time, and holds a LOT of music...

Going from 250 departures a day to 150/day is gaining local market share how?

Do they have stock in the local farmer's market and it split?

De Hubbing and using Atlanta as an O&D market.

I get a little ill every time guests see the Southwest Airlnes Coral Reef third of the Alanta aquarium. That should be Delta.

I have heard this is why Delta utilizes so much cross-pollination when they doll out the DCI routes.

Who owns the DTW-MCI route? five years ago it was Mesaba. Now you have Pinnacle, Compass, SkyWest, and Shuttle all flying that route on any given day. One goes on strike? Change some flight numbers and nobody's the wiser.

Of course, when you have five aircraft on the fence at LGA, all wearing different names, you have some big problems when an IROP hits.

Speaking of which...
