This always cracks me up. What is SWA gonna buy them with? Leveraged buyout? They would eventually get a trip to BK court if they tried that, and it would be sooner rather than later.

So be it. It's just business. Decisions made at the upper level of management. Only they are apparently they are trying to incite their employees.

To what end? Not that I necessarily doubt what you are saying, but what would be the purpose? It''s not like the front line employees have much to say in the decision making of the ticket purchasers....

Whatever foreflight uses! Best app ever for private flying or SA at the gate with Delta. I did hear a rumor that Delta is going to roll out tablets for the pilots right after they put the bunks back in the 330's.
