Are you sure you want to do this? What if the balloon goes up and you are one of the last surviving males on earth? You will be expendable.

A flight attendant friend of mine got married in her slinky white bikini. No, she doesn't work for the big D. She's too hot. She used to work at Skywest. Still smoking hot though.

(looked for pictures to share but digital didn't exist back then and the shoe boxes full of old school pics are buried)

Ok, so who is getting the money from the auctioned slots at each airport?

If it is the carriers: Did DAL "sell" the DCA slots and LCC "sell" the LGA slots since that is who held them PRIOR to the deal, or did each "sell" the slots AFTER the trade?

If it is the FAA who gets the money......F that.

I think our money from the forced sale is going to be split between Pinnacle and Gol.

In particular the conversion of 700s to 800s along with the fleet commonality as pointed out by GK is the giveaway on the fate of the 717 in the WN fleet.

To reduce cost the only way forward for WN is larger aircraft.
If they start touching labour cost the savings will be diminished by the reduced goodwill by the employees aka "LUV"...

Depends how they do it. They are already on course to let inflation eat away at it rather agressively. Each year the money they pay labor is worth 5-10% less and they bump their pay up what, 2% or so? Compound that negative return for 5 or 10 years and see what you end up with for "savings".
