It was a horrible, horrible idea, but damn did it work out great for me. No way it was ever going to work. I knew that when the first flight I worked had a pax count of "goose egg". It was also marketed horribly but nothing could change the fact that flying a 50 seater around with $100/barrel fuel isn't going to be profitable when southwest is targeting you for destruction (they did and it didn't take much effort to make it happen).
