No doubt he should have spent some time in the bullpen prior to taking the hill. A 98 MPH heater high and inside would have gotten everyone's attention.

Southwest was in a great position because it is ALWAYS in a great position due to it’s low debt and efficient operations.

The legacy carriers had poor balance sheets and way too much debt BEFORE this mess even started.

All true, in my opinion. Further, the large expenditure for early outs sounds odd at first blush. But here's the thing. LUV has always thrived on KNOWING the cost of doing business. When the costs are tied down, the revenue can usually be managed. It worked well in the auto industry for a long time.

This is why SW doesn't mind being highly unionized or makes sketchy fuel deals. Costs drive operation. They don't always have to be low, just known.

Don’t misunderstand me. I’m fine with what he’s doing (especially if he’s senior to me )
