Correct me if I'm off base here, but isn't this one of the reasons the aviation industry got in this mess to begin with? Southwest may be sitting pretty with its fuel hedges today, but time will tell if this statagy works.
I, for one, will NOT fly Southwest out of Denver if I have an option to take Frontier or United. Even if it costs me a few more dollars. I would rather see Frontier get act together and see Southwest go back to Texas. |
I agree.
Southwest is one of the major causes for the airline industry turmoil right now. Take your 15 minute turns elsewhere.
