I guess you weren't hired for your aviation business acumen. The LAST thing SWA is planning to do is move to DFW. I've read a couple of posts that suggest that SWA would pull out of Dallas completely before they would move to DFW.

NO NOT REALLY ... HOWEVER, MY COMMENT IS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM MOVE INTO DFW, JUST FOR COMPETITION.... BUT REALLY COULD CARE LESS.

Nor for her education, which appears to be at about 3rd grade level.

It's funny, but what goodgirl brought up in a very simplistic manner is the constant discussion that AA needs some real competition in Dallas. They are the one carrier that is most protected by legislation and therefore face only restricted competition. Sure, DFW looks like a plausible airport b/c it has vacant space but AA has controlling interest in the facility and what they say goes. So yes...it may be simplistic (and unrealistic that she also brought U up as a contendor) but what goodgirl mentions is absolutely true...AA should finally be forced to face true competition. And no...not the argument that WN can just pack up and go to DFW. As has been stated over and over (and should be common sense and good overall business acumen but doesn't seem to ever hit home)...that adds to costs significantly and benefits nobody other than AA b/c they would then have forced other carriers that can control costs to have exhorbanent costs. So jimntx...I would not challenge goodgirl's business acumen if you cannot even grasp unrestricted free trade.

Well, let's not forget that it is public knowledge that the airport board offered a sweetheart deal to SW or anyone else who would take the abandoned DL gates. It basically amounted to free rent for a year or more. Not one airline was interested. And, to quote goodgirl's original post, she said "PERSONALLY I CANT WAIT FOR SOUTHWEST TO MOVE INTO DFW THAT WAY SOUTHWEST AND THE NEW USAIR WILL PIC APART AMERICANS BUSINESS FROM HEAD TO TOE. THEY ARE A NASTY OPERATION!!!"

My response had nothing to do competition--pro or con. It had to do with goodgirl stating that she couldn't wait for SW to move to DFW. Something that SW has been very clear will never happen.

Also, goodgirl has not shown a great deal of integrity. While posting here that AA is a "nasty operation", she was posting on the American Airlines forum that she had nothing against AA and in fact liked them because she was from Dallas herself.
I guess she thought that even though she can post on any forum, the American employees could only read the American forum.

LOL looks like goodgirl and bubbleboy are the same troll. LOL

Reading between the lines...she clearly was trying to make the point that AA needs real, untethered competition in Dallas. Whatever else she posts or whatever relationship the two of you have had on these boards in the past are of no consequence to me but I do agree that AA should be able to face true competition.

I watched AA force Midway (3) out of RDU (and out of business) even though there was "plenty of space" and "sweethearts of deals" for other carriers to serve there. I also watched them do this to Legend at DAL...same situation. In both cases, they had great deals with the airport boards and local governments that precluded true competition. Same case in DFW. And if I am a long-term thinker...I know that "free rent for a year" sure only makes a difference for a year and that they will make up for it after that. Also...as AA is the largest carrier at DFW (i.e. has all of the bargaining power with the authority) they can have their way with airside usage and the delays will only further hurt competition.

Again...I totally agree with skygirl in this one that AA needs to act as a real business and face real competition...not competition held at bay by legislation.

And US Air and United need to go out of business instead of being in multiple and super-extended BKs . . . . . and they're still losing money after raping the employees, creditors, and the public.

Well, gee, why don't we just break up AA like the old Ma Bell? Let's chop it up into intra-Texas, southwest U.S., transcon, and international companies. Just for good measure, let's slap a 25% surcharge on the AA tickets (any of the Baby AA's), and just hand that over to Southwest, because WN IS GREAT AND I CANT WAIT TO PIC APART NASTY AA THEY ARE HORRIBLE CAN I EARN MILES ON MY PRICELINE TXKS THANX AA SURE DOES SUCK SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS

Normally I ignore stupid topics like this but I just couldn't resist! 😀

I don't know what drug you are on, but I'd sure like to try some of it.
