Another ORD hustle, which is unsurprising considering it’s a less well run version of Burundi.

At least there is political pluralism in Burundi and the asset to debt ratio is controllable.

Time to drop the waiver and go back to use it or lose it on the slots and gates.

Im pretty certain, WN is simply sub leasing Terminal 5 gate(s) from a defunct International carrier who are no longer serving ORD.

That is a lot different than being awarded gates from the Airport Authority. F9 is doing the same thing as well.

I’m honestly am curious to what AA and UA said to the airport authority about SWA getting gates.

Not surprising we couldn't get more gates and SWA did. They were probably happy to pay for them, were as we probably wanted to pay a bargain price.

T5 is all common use gates. None are “assigned” per say

So there you have it, from the call...no new hire classes budgeted for 2021. "Things can change"...but as of now, no new hires for 2021.

Round of applause for everyone that wanted the question answered on whether or not we can have beards. What was that the 3rd question? Great use of a town hall.

Probably the best question I’ve ever heard on these town halls.

I’d take that over..


“What’s our cash burn”
“What’s our estimated load factor”
“Will we furlough in June 2021”
“WiFi” stupid stupid WiFi
