Hey kids, this is what being omnipotently arrogant looks like. You think shiny wings make some random unintelligible internets ramblings high society philosophical debate! Do tell me more about curing the ails of society!

So, I edited my reply. Not sure why you would think I am trying to defend communism, I was trying to explain communism has never been achieved....

And the statement implies that someday communism will be done right is a frightening statement. How many millions are dead in the interim of trying? Yeah ok. No thanks.

JFC, that is not at all what I said. Communism has never been, and will never happen.... (better?)

Not a single country has ever even tried communism. It was always oppression, but communism sounded better, to some.
And just to make double sure. I DON'T WANT COMMUNISM OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

Also, nobody else cares, this is about SWA and the lack of Xmas for their employees and customers, so I will reply to private messages, but not on this thread.

Other existing CMS options that run airlines today, also without such catastrophic failures in their history:

AIMS. - Sun Country meltdown Christmas 2021
Lufthansa Systems - GoJet/Compass/Trans States multiple system outages/IROPs

There has never been a country where the people owned everything, people worked as hard as they could, and got paid as much as they needed (spoiler alert: it wouldn't work, because communism assumes people are good). That mill wasn't owned by the people, because the people had no say in what happened at the mill. The party ruled the people, and within the party there was a ruling elite. Not even close to collectivism, just plain dictatorship. And definitely communist in name only. You said it yourself, disagree, and disappear. I am happy for you, you were able to escape whatever country you left. You suffered oppression, not communism. Words matter, especially if you tell other people they have no clue....

So who puts up the money to build, open and start the factory where these workers work? It isn’t them, they didn’t have jobs or money at that point. Who decides whose working the hardest and gets promoted? Who runs it? Do those managers and supervisors make more than the lowly assembly line labor?

There has never been “true” communism (as you say) because it’s stupid and doesn’t work.

Check mate comrade.

I was unaware that SY operated 15,000 flights, let alone cancelled them. But heck of an effort.

If you don’t understand what a system implementation is and how it differs from a random operating day decades after being on a system…maybe you shouldn’t be flying airplanes.

You're seriously trying to tell me what communism is and your education was in this country, and you're drawing on your parents who fled Romania 60-some years ago and you don't even know what town they're from?!

Do yourself a favor, stop typing. Pick up a book that's not written by the neo-marxist lunatics. Though I appreciate it, your free-thinking style is the first one that gets stomped out in communism because no such thing as dissent can exist.

Communism/Marxism will never work long term simply because it goes against human nature. It is a failed experiment. /thread

Found this amusing.

SWA is great, by the way. I buy tickets for my family all the time on SWA (DAL too expensive for what you get, even with employee discounts). Yeah, you had a meltdown, but it happens. Insanely complex systems like massive logistical chains (i.e., airlines) are prone to this from time to time, and even the best IT can't entirely prevent it.

I'll be purchasing more tickets on SWA many times in the future without a second thought.
