Southwest Airlines CEO calls FAA's threat of fine unfair

got to love capitalism....if it is not your airline going under it will be mine. I hate to see someone struggle but if it between me an you. You on your own. Blame your management for creating an environment which you can't operate....blame deregulation....blame who ever you want. Nobody twisted your arm to work there and you are free to leave when you want....quit your crying....fix your company or quit the complaining about your choice.  (Mar 11, 2008 | post #38)

Well, I am a pilot here at SWA. Give it a little time and all the info will become public knowledge. SWA is a very safe airline and the pilots take that very seriously. If there was ever any doubt of a safety of flight item, we would ground the aircraft. Please refrain from assuming negative ideas about the company based on "news" that you hear or read. I think we all know how the media can spin things. Safe flying.  (Mar 8, 2008 | post #14)

Southwest Looks to Land Road Warriors

Actually if you read the description of the purchase, it states you will board first, not get first choice of seats. Sorry for your pain.  (Dec 10, 2007 | post #2)

Pay Attention To Loyalty In Customer Relationships

you need to pay for a ticket that would afford to get you food. The airlines can't afford food at the prices that they are offering.  (Oct 28, 2007 | post #4)

Pay Attention To Loyalty In Customer Relationships

thanks for flying us. As a frequent flyer with us I hope you enjoy the new boarding procedures. There is still more news to come about the boarding procedure that frequent flyers and business flyers will like. I can't say it no but it is interesting.  (Oct 28, 2007 | post #2)

He is well within limits. He picks trips with a lot of deadhead time which will get paid for and takes his 1 in seven days off. He works the system very well.  (Oct 5, 2007 | post #53)

Trust me I did not believe it myself. I flew with him and asked him how he did it. He showed me the W2. He is well known in the company. He averaged only about 5-6 days off a month and ends up getting almost all his trips a time and a half. It can be done but you have no life at home. Figure his basic credit rate is $173 TFP which equates to approx $198 per hour. Now figure he averaged around 170 credits per month. you do the math. Trust me I would love that money but I like the time with my family so 5-6 days off a month won't cut it with the boss.  (Oct 5, 2007 | post #48)
