You're right! Up until this announcement there was absolutely no way to get from ATL to AUA....

Yup. They are changing their game by raising fares.

That's more than 2/3, I can be satisfied with that.

The question is, are the shareholders satisfied with the money left behind when the yields fall.

Brother, I hope that SWA management has grief councilors available when they finally have to report a loss. Hate to break it to you, but SWA ain't the scrappy young fighter anymore. You've joined the ranks of the bloated, slightly overweight, past prime contenders. Face it, you guys are turning into Joe Bagadonuts average airline. Welcome to the club.

I've been to AUA a few times in Business Class on AT and I can't imagine sitting in SWA cattle class for four hours. Looks like our next flight out of ATL to AUA will be on DAL.
