Okay, I read this one and had a "HUH?" moment.....

Reduce the congestion at ATL, but add flights.

The ONLY way I can see them doing this is to blow the whole hub and spoke pulse operation. SWA at MCO is up to about ten flights per GATE now. We can head over to United and set our watch by when the ramp guys are all sitting down. It's about every hour or every 45 minutes. A hub network is designed to have all of their flights on the ground at pretty much the same time so the pax can connect. I noticed they're adding like 19 non-stops to destinations, so those are always good to see. What I wasn't happen to see is that they are adding a/c to Song. Is it actually gonna come out of Song's budget now, or is it still gonna leach off of mainline?
