They made the same offer to Delta as well. I think that we will bite again but only if the offer is sweetened. A lot
Our previous gates were costing Delta about 9.20 per passenger. Now we are down to about 2.65 per passenger. If we are to go back it would have to be at our same rate per passenger or less. |

Sit down and have a cool one you are gonna pop a vessel! Maybe people who are either students or poor retired people who have nothing better to do. Starting with: elbow your way into the plane, fight for your seat, and then waste 2 days sitiing round airports waiting for your (SWA) ship to come in. With the wright amendment in place (where it should and will stay) These el-cheapo DAL travelers are only 1 step above the bus crowd. They would probably walk if it wasn't so hot outside! Personally for me Time is money. I could care less about saving a few dollars. Maybe for someone like your self who has nothing better to do you might want to try Greyhound, they are still cheaper and you get to see so much more! AA matches every fare that SWA offers in the Wright amendment arena. I do not know where you got your facts I get the feeling you are a big fan of SWA, You probably work there, as do all your friends. Thats fine ,I still offer IN OPEN ARMS for SWA to come to DFW and act like a team player. I know this will NEVER HAPPEN and so do you. If you want to play with the big-boys you gots to play by the big-boys rules! Wow, there is no other way to say it...you're a stuck up, whiny snob. |
AA does not have a cost advantage over SWA on employee wages. In fact they have a significant disadvantage. Don't mistake hourly wages with overall employee costs. You have to figure in every aspect involved in keeping a employee on the property.

Holy Threadbump Batman
How did you even find this thread? I don't even know how to look back into the archives that far. I was wondering why I didn't hear anything about this event on the local news... But now that I see that this thread was resurrected after the 3rd anniversary of the last post, that would explain it. I'm curious to know how many of the original posters are still here at the APC forum.
Can we put this thread in a time capsule... Maybe we could have one of the moderators lock it up, and then reopen it in another 3 years. Who knows, maybe by then, Delta will be flying to all the old NWA Asia destinations out of DFW... SWA will be an international player serving Mexico... USAir will still have two separate pilot groups at war with each other. AA will sell off all their large aircraft with all those coach seats for pesky poor people, and replace them all with Gulfstreams to compete with Netjets. TSA will start screening people on the new FrAActional airline after a series of incidents involving the pax killing pilots for taaxiing waay too slow. Hmmm... |
Heh heh..3 years later and Terminal E is still a ghost town.

Geez. This thread is so filled with bitterness it almost belongs in the Regonals.

As a commuter, DFW is closer to my home in southwest fort worth. However, I always, ALWAYS drive the extra 30 minutes to Love Field to avoid the insanity that is DFW. Love Field is simple, for pilots like me :rolleyes:
Anyways, I hope SWA gets what they want. |
It cracks me up how so many pilots take this topic personally - as if their own mother is being offended.
WHO GIVES A RAT'S ASS??? SWA has their system, and it works. AA has their system and, well... it kind of works. This sounds like a classic "My dad can beat up your dad" kind of mentality. Let it go guys... it just ain't worth it. |
I agree, it aint worth it, particularly since this is from two years ago!:confused:
