Yeah seriously. You do realize that the JBA facility in MCO does not fall under "Herb time", right Zap?

As an outsider looking in...it seems like the Air Tran purchase was the catalysts for LUV's downhill slide into becoming just another airline. Culture is evaporating, the koolaid is wearing thin, labor unrest has reared its ugly head, rapid movement has come screeching to a halt. Maybe the bean counters are happy...no wait, isn't he gone now?

Prior to AirTran swa had about 5500 pilots, 8300 now. Prior to CQT recurrent was only 1 sim, now it's 2. New hires used to have type ratings, most don't these days and the syllabus is expanding although I don't know by how much yet. Add in all increased hiring and upgrades that need several sims each and you get the picture.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with Management and contract negotiations! Only difference between Airtran management and Southwest management is the current CEO dresses in drag more often and is averse to any technology upgrades.
