Their pay won't be what it used to be. |
There will be screaming and yelling and gnashing of teeth, but at the end of the day it will probably get approved. They know what's at stake. |
There's no advantage to this at any airport. It doesn't speed anything up and people would pay $80 for the same security they get now. There's no better security. It's just a lot of smoke and mirrors. |
They're here as much as we (the teachers) are, and you have to be in today's world. |
This is a whole new world for Southwest. They have to react, to go to markets they never dreamed of before. Southwest is now a carnivore. They have to go into other people's hubs because that's where the traffic is. |
This is not like a normal negotiation - the company set the bottom line, and that was it. |
To do this is nickel-and-diming. People will end up bypassing the skycap altogether and going to the ticket counter, or they'll book tickets on another airline. |
Unions don't give in easily. It's going to be ugly, and Parker can't do much about it but negotiate with the winner. |
United didn't miss a beat when Atlantic pulled 80 jets right out from under them. |
US Air has still got some severe revenue problems, ... Unlike say Northwest, who only had one or two areas of cost problems . . . US Air has a lot of them. |
We failed in the handling of this call. I can't describe it in any other way. |
We had to stop the run, keep (David) Johnson contained and not let them hit the long bomb. Today, it went well. The way I look at it, we're 4-0 and two more wins we're in the state playoffs. If we keep winning we'll make the Prep Bowl, but I don't look forward to playing them again. |
We've got more seats that are filled and we're getting higher fares for them. That's your best case scenario. If fuel was at $40 a barrel, we could be minting money right now. In 12 months we'll be talking about the problems with the low-cost carriers, not the (old line) carriers. |
You can't operate a global airline like that, |
You might be paying more in prime time for some prime destinations. |
