Excelllent insights, except some major dispcrepancies...

Evidently, the Boydster can't read a financial statement and relate it to a conference call. SWA would have made money this quarter without hedging, but as a "professional analyst" he is unable to figure this out.

Second, he fails to mention that SWA has been selling tickets to Denver on its website for quite a while now through its codeshare - do you think the folks on Denton Ave might know what kind of fares they can get?

Boyd is a self - inflated idiot.

I also read Boyd's report.
Its OKAY that SOMEONE isn't your biggest fan.
Just one mans opinion.

Boyd is a smart guy who has called things correctly most of the time. It might hurt sometimes when he calls things out against the airline you work for, but that's the way it is sometimes.

Ok, so SWA has a challenge ahead in Denver. Good!!!

We've always performed best as the underdog. This being "at the top" stuff is unfamiliar and feels really wierd... in a nice sorta way!
