Perhaps they missed a payment?

Yes and they will punish them mercilessly by putting 3, sometimes 4 flights a day in their proper sequence with no preference. Oh the humanity!

No they are still in good standing with that, but rumor is the last pizza party some metropunk abercrombie mafia poindexter ordered "thin crust" and the FAA threatened to "work to book" until they made up for it. :cool:

So do we still get the LGA slots no matter what, or is this some nefarious SWA scheme to make us think we are getting them, ramp up and invest tons of money, only to be told to give up more slot charity to "most favored airline" or the deal's off?

As for any 320 bases in the future, a whopping zero percent of that is net growth unless we order more 320's, which we apparently are no where near doing. So this swap or anything else still looks like a capacity neutral reshuffle with the only potential winners being DCI and probably Alaska somehow. Unless we're getting a lot more 90's (or equivalent) as that fleet growth barely seems to make up for the 9's going away as it is.

No, us red-eye flying 73 mo'fo's in LA will be asked to cover it.;)

Nothing that a pizza party can't fix.:rolleyes:

Guess:

All 320 out of MEM to NYC as well as DC9 for MEM base closure
Some 320 out of DTW to NYC with 737 out of CVG to DTW
Remaining 88 out of CVG to MSP and NYC for CVG base closure

Behold a revelation of the righteous Dude, given by ACL65 to the angels newly hired. After the 11th month, it is prophesied a large number of pilots following an east star up I-20 towards the New City, Atlanta, forcing from their midst natives who await selection amongst the favored few to commute to a metropolis containing a large park in its midst. These unfortunates, beholden to duty in a Garden State where no gardens exist, surely lament assignment before the dawn.

Would love to say that you're wrong, however, I think you're on the money. This could get interesting.

Disregard, on wrong frequency.
