Reddit isn’t reality. The same people (and bots) trying to convince you SWA is going Ch11 imminently are the ones 100% convinced Harris was winning the election

You just answered your own question. We are now flying and offering service's and destination that bring in the CC dinero.

The Elliott group is no white night. , but far better than who was dragged this place to the ground. It takes time to fix 17 years of xxxxxxxx.

ahh yes, social media. Where tic tok videos were made on how to game our open seating policy and where our beloved COS shared how to get open seats for free. I guess we now know what’s they are doing with their time.

“Overall airline sentiment”??? You’re collecting all the data? Lmao…

Tell GK hello for us, hope he’s enjoying retirement on a golf course nowhere near Dallas.

Had him and his wife on a SAT-DAL flight this month. Didn’t know it til we got to DAL and the A asked me if I knew (he had no idea who Gary was since he was a newish hire). His wife boarded and asked the A for a couple cans of water. A asked if it was for medication…wife said no…A told her no drinks before takeoff and they took their seat.

Gary didn’t say hi to anyone…just another passenger.

That’s gotta be a sad reality for him…the legacy he left isn’t one to be proud of.

That's hilarious. Glad to hear there's no recognition for his fine 'leadership.' Was always riding the coat tails of Herb.

Guess taking a private jet didn't make sense that trip. His wife probably wasn't too happy.

Good riddance.

I've seen some social media reports about how expensive SWA is now. Which is great - finally they've figured out yield management and aren't so focused on filling every seat. Should be good for earnings and non-reving.

Exactly. De-democratize the skies! We just need to work on quality employees if we want quality customers.

They are getting it dialed in for sure. 100 percent full flights are more and more rare, which is a good thing operationally and for nonrev travel and commuting.

I suspect RASM is going to be through the roof this quarter with lower load factors. That pesky fuel cost, though?
