| Re: Some interesting airline industry reading: [ QUOTE ] The same windbag politicians who call for letting airlines fail will be the very ones who will rant and rave when East Upchuck loses all scheduled air service, and Southwest declines the opportunity to operate there. [/ QUOTE ]It's funny because it's true. |

| Re: Some interesting airline industry reading: Very well put. It's refreshing to see an alternative to the "Southwest and JetBlue LCC model is gospel" mindset. |

| Agent Smith | Re: Some interesting airline industry reading: In one leg today, I've heard: "You guys are bankrupt because you fly too many different types of aircraft!" and "If we didn't have to fly thru Atlanta, you guys would make more money!" *sigh* Everyone's an expert... (but on a related note, some of the "oh yeahs!" are people that have preached in the recent past about business models, dissimilar aircraft types and 'paradigm shifts'! Not pointing any fingers though...  ) |

If you talk to people about aviation without identifying yourself as a pilot it is amazing to hear how much they THINK they know about flying..... |
