SWA recently cut back their hiring and growth plans significantly, they are able to turn a profit due to paying half price for fuel.
It is all about the fuel hedge. That is the only difference. Kudos to SWA for being able to use their long term credits in the hedging game to make a profit. ALso cool that they were able to raise fares and you guys are applauding....
Low expectations, low results...
Pass me that bag of peanuts, it is going to be a long flight,
Does anyone think this is going to last forever?

BTW, Im sure there are others that had negative things to say, I just stopped at the first one I saw, my comments apply as needed.
