Default As Mark Twain would say

The difference between Southwest and Airtran is like the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.

One is an incredible burst of energy that lasts for milliseconds and the other is a small vibrant organism that has been around for millions of years.

Any more questions?

All generalizations are false, including this one.

I finally extracted myself from their troll holes.
-Charlie Sheen

As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake and your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.
-Mark Twain + Charlie Sheen

Not sure who "we" refers to.

I'm not sure if Southwest or AirTran has 27 drivers.

No no no, he's the 27th driver on the baggage tug seniority list. Next on the list to upgrade to Ramp Lead.
