Which Airline is going down first?

[sorry dog]

Which Airline do you guys think is going bye-bye first?

Western.
I think US Scareways will take the dive, although it really behooves everybody in this nation if they don't. Imagine the trends, the past practices that will evolve out of this. Retirements, 401K's, current pay, current labor agreements and future negotiations that will be negatively impacted.
There's too much to go into and I'm not into arguing about stuff (too much :argue: ), but if an airline goes down, there's a widespread impact to each and every one of us.
Think about it. :)

Southwest bought Reno Air, they didn't go tits up. Maybe they were close, I don't know.
Southwest bought Morris Air too.

Southwest did not buy Reno Air, American did. Robert Crandalls (CEO A/A) wife had a huge stake in Reno Air. So it was a sweetheart deal.

D'oh, you're right, I am wrong.
Damn, I just messed up my perfect year of never being wrong. :D
When an AA plane taxis more than 0.2 mph, we still snicker about, "it must be a Reno Air pilot." :p

Depends upon how you look at it.
You might go to the front of the departure line...........or..........you might not! :D

LOL..... :D
The SWA guys have high speed taxiing down to an art. When they roll out on 12R at Houston Hobby it puts the aircraft around 2 miles from the terminal. Those boys come back on Charlie at a good 60 MPH.... :jawdrop: :D :D

They were great. You used to get a steak dinner on the plain. It beat the sawdust nutrition bars you get now.

[sorry dog]

I heard the Russian Airlines are better than Six Flags or Space Mountain...
Speaking of Drussia...Tom, since you're heart was broken by Topless, I found you a woman:

My Dad worked for the OG Frontier back in the early 80's. I remember you would get a steak dinner on the flight from Denver to ABQ. All first class seat pitch as well, you could actually stretch out in those airplanes...
Isn't de-regulation fun??? It's moved the airline's from the airport to the bus terminal and created 2 classes of travel, first class and third world. :D
