Maybe we should start flying out of HOU. :D

That is a sweet ride, so sweet that when we visit my family we buy tickets on the competition instead of United because flying 2 legs half way across the country in a RJ isn’t something that I’m spending my money on. Give me Southwest over a 50 seat rj any day. I really hope that Kirby wasn’t blowing smoke and that their days really are numbered. I wonder how much business we miss out on because of our weaker product. How many people pass on a cramped United 50 seat jet and buy a ticket on a Delta A220 or Southwest 737 instead?

I did this passt weekend - bought tickets on Spirit. Hated to do it but I’ll take the back of the bus over the 50 seater.

We buy SWA tix multiple times per year just to avoid Commutair.

None of you are the target. 50 seaters only purpose is to get GS and 1K mileage warriors into a hub to connect to NRT, LHR, FRA etc.

I understand that any C seat in the 145 is classified by the Geneva convention as a war crime, and by most legal dictionaries as cruel and unusual punishment.

Our mainline product is as good as the other US airlines, but when you factor in all of our tired and small rj’s, even a LCC offers a superior product much of the time. Delta got the 717 and then the A220, American is getting rid of the E-190, and United keeps using 50 seaters hoping for scope improvement.

Well, last time the IAH hub was attacked we pulled out of Charles DeGaulle (paris) and printed up a bunch of "Keep IAH strong" T shirts.

I guess this time we'll do something totally cool. We'll give away some gates, print some "Make IAH great again hats", and maybe start up non stop service to Yazoo City Mississippi.

It’s why they’re ordering the Max 10.

Quick turn?! Bahahaha. Our turn times are scheduled for the same amount as the other airlines anymore. Usually 35 mins on a -700 and 45 on an -800.
