This should be very interesting. I also talked to a SWA guy recently who stated how even a staple can be "proven" to be a windfall for the Air Tran guys. The arrogance is amazing.

This folks, is the problem with our profession. One thing I know, what comes around, goes around.

One M&A from reality and nashing of teeth. It will happen.
