While this isn't good news, it's temporary. When SWA gets new aircraft deliveries, they will grow

Lee said in a management luncheon that as of now no plans for pilot ExTO but they are offering it so rampers etc.

Time to bite the bullet and buy spirit. It gets approved bc spirit is in a bad spot and southwest is being hamstrung by Boeing. In a few years Boeing gets its act together and Pratt gets its act together and BOOM!

You guys slay me. I mean, it obviously isn't sunshine and rainbows right now, but the sky isn't falling. Our sole source aircraft manufacturer isn't manufacturing as many airplanes as they should. It is forcing us to be capacity constrained. They will eventually work out their issues, albeit slowly.
Look at all the numbers in the quarterly earnings. We flew more pax and had more revenue than last year. We are still growing capacity for the rest of the year, just not as fast as we had originally planned. Our head count is too high because they hired for that increase in capacity. They are taking this opportunity to quit digging a hole in some of the money losing stations. Good. This will work its way out. We aren't shrinking and the world is not ending. Guys on TOF are predicting bankruptcies for crying out loud. I am not happy about the way things are going right now either, but this too shall pass. |
