I know that it sucks for the SWA employees in JAN and I feel sorry for them. But I would like to thank SWA management for giving them a 180 notice before closing the plant. Usually legacy airlines give you the bare minimum, 60 or 90 days and not a second more. And if they tell the union about...

I am curious to know if this is the first city that Southwest has closed (excluding Stapleton and Air Tran cities). I don't rememeber Southwest ever closing down their own city or laying off their own people before.  I know that they flew there because Trent Lott wanted them  and he was the all...

I'm curious to konw the whole story. I think that the employee might have SOLD the buddy passes and these guys thought that they bought actual first class tickets. Nowhere in the story did the 2 gentelmen ever acknowledge that they were on a buddy pass. It's happened before where people sold...

I am really curious to know why the America West flight attendants didn't just negotiate their own contract which was amendable at the time of the merger in 2005? Why did they pin their hopes on East flight attendants and try to get a contract with a different group? They really messed up on...

Drama? Are you kidding me? Have you read the southwest posts? If it goes to arbitration and Air Tran guys get straight seniority or even better, 4 years added to their seniority which is what the other guys are trying to do then what do you think will happen???? Do you think the SWA guys will...

I guess the Air Tran guys are going to have to bite the bullet and agree to the 4 year deal and hope that Southwest will accept it, although I don't know why they would balk at getting an extra 4 years. The only problem I see is when Southwest mergers with airline ABC I just don't see any way on...

I'm just curious, if Air Tran gives Southwest 4 years and southwest merges with another airline, will the other airline allow Southwest employees to keep an extra 4 years that neither they nor the Air Tran guys got? If Air Tran lost seniority it would be easier to keep that in place in case of...

You are tired of these threads about AA & US, yet you respond to every single one of them? Aren't you tired of writing about Delta each and every hour? I would suggest that you get a life. Responding to every post and talking about how wonderful life is at Delta land is not a life. Go play...

FA Mikey do you know when Eagle flew to BON?

Thanks for the info guys. I just find it strange that they go everywhere except to BON while DL & CO fly there.

I was curious to know if AA has ever flown to BON (Bonaire). Before B6 came along AA was the king of the Caribbean and it's strange that they fly all over the Caribbean (except Cuba) but exclude BON. CO flies there from IAH & EWR while DL flies there from ATL. If AA ever flew there, when did...

I'm sure if they approve the Airtran/Southwest swap which eliminates effective competition for Southwest, then there's no way that the the Feds could justify swapping network carriers exchanging slots. Southwest will be way too big in the USA and way too big in BWI and being that they will be so...

Wow, that's a lot of money for a small airline! Congrats to everyone who made it happen. Usually USAirways is the last one to report financials but I guess they got too excited and had to be first.

He threw a coffepot at a fellow employee? Was it full of coffee? Were there passengers on board? I guess the new "going postal" is now called "going flight attendant"
