Default SWA 'Soft Patch' leading to Internet Service?

Interesting interview with Kelly:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7577235

Will SWA's reduced earnings lead to internet service, bag 'service' charge or flat out buyout?

Maybe they should rehire David Neeleman, he had plenty of ideas they did not care for at the time...

Gman--

Yeah, good idea, maybe they should hire Neeleman again and have SWA lose boatloads of $$$$ like JetBlue. When was the last time you guys made any $$ and posted a profit?????????

There's a good reason Herb fired him, and everyone in the industry knows why.

Cant wait for JB to release earnings...that should be a good laugh.

He was fired for insisting that our employees in general and our "mostly women" flight attendants were paid too much. He wouldn't let it go. He said they could halve the flight attendant pay and if a bunch quit he could have "attractive young gals lined up around the block" to happily take the jobs. He brought it up one too many times and was canned.

Neeleman was disruptive, inattentive, and most of all did not work well with others!
He wanted to be in charge and especially did not like working with women who outranked him. Please remember that June Morris let him run Morris with very little interference or having to answer to anyone. Can't get along here at SWA then hit the road! Even being a genius does not guarantee you will keep a job.

G-man I have the perfect job for him if he comes back over here. He can dump my lavs during our quick turns!
