who will be around in ten years?
love to see what people thought this industry is going to look like in the next decade. 3 legacy with delta, united, and american. I see aa and us merging. Wn, jetblue, and allegiant, maybe another will stick around. Wn flying international in next 5 years. Thoughts and safe flying to all.

wn is southwest. Who would have thought the highest paid pilots in the airline industry would be 73 drivers? i had heard sw was looking at international, and perhaps a new boeing product in 2012. i also liked what allegiant was doing.

30 years from now, when airliners are remotely piloted by pilots from Indian flight centers, you can still guarantee that SWA's remote control stations will still use the 737-100 overhead panel.

I thought Southwest was thinking about going to Mexico a few years ago, but then realized that it would not be worth the risk to take a working domestic model and try to adapt it to an international model.
By the way, Southwest pilots, get out of Islip. I would like to fly Southwest, but fighting NYC traffic to get to Long Island is a joke.
