Lastly in reference to gas prices. You are looking at nominal and not inflation adjusted pricing. I copied this for you. It clearly shows that adjusted for inflation we are not far off the historical norms. People LOVE to complain about prices of things but they fail to recognize that adjusted for inflation (apples to apples) gas has always cost around the same. In addition interesting to see gas price peak during the Kansas(Spanish Flu) pandemic.

Year Nominal Price
Inflation- adjusted Price

2014 $3.30 $3.59
2015 $2.33 $2.54
2016 $2.07 $2.22
2017 $2.33 $2.46
2018 $2.63 $2.70
2019 $2.50 $2.52
2020 $2.58 $2.58



Gas Price Peaks

Date Inflation-Adjusted Highs
1918 $3.92
1934 $3.35
1938 $3.35
1981 $3.51
2008 $3.54
2012 $3.66

Lowest Inflation-Adjusted Price of Gasoline–
$1.61 in 1998

Date Inflation-Adjusted Lows
1931 $2.89
1947 $2.66
1972 $2.22
1998 $1.61
2009 $2.77
2016 $2.22

2 week advance ticket from Dal to Las is $350 dollars not including taxes and fees. That’s just one way for one person. So a family of 3 looking to spend over 1050 for one way.

Southwest and America Airlines. But I’m sure you’re more in tuned with Southwest financial sheet than the man running the company. After all you’re a pilot. Good luck on that upgrade in less than 11 years.

I don’t run the company but I do know who to read financials. Previous career ya know….

Upgrade happens, good for me. If it doesn’t, good for me. The secret to a happy life IMO is to not worry about the things you can not control and nothing I can control less is upgrade.

Yes, staffing on the ramp sucks. This too shall pass. It's hard to recruit rampers for crap pay to work outside and get mando'd all the time. Eventually, they will get on top of it. I saw a huge group of new hire rampers in PHX yesterday.
Nah. That was just a bunch of good $7!t PHX kernels volunteering on their day off to get the “mission” done.
