Are you even a Part 121 pilot because some of the things you write……

Having flown on a ton of WB flights, the only times I felt "more comfortable" in comparison to a 737 were the times I was in business/first. All other cases the only thing better about the 777 would be a taller cabin. The seat dimensions for basically any legacy WB economy seat is the same or worse than SWA's 737, feel free to look it up. I guess it's nicer for those who want to walk up and down two aisles all flight, but otherwise I don't see the radically different experience.

I actually have heard a lot of people excited over a twin aisle but it’s for deplaning……Wver sat in the back of a 757-300? It takes about as long as the flight time to get off. United’s frequent flyers actually say they like dual aisle quite a bit.

You mean a "brand new" 10/10 beats a pig wearing makeup?

This is a pig with lipstick. They wont be buying stock back anytime soon. They do not have enough un-restricted cash. They wont eliminate the dividend, but not ruling out cutting it. They are having to re-state finances because of S.E.C. compliance. An activist investor would really turn this into a party. Keep an eye on the put-call ratio.
