Swa pilots dal picket!!
So ... what are you doing with your life now? You quit Southwest? -

Looks Like DAL Is Staying At DAL
I'm not going to waste my time addressing the rest of your bloviations; I'll just concentrate on two points here. 1) I'm not a Southwest 'hater'. There have been plenty of times I've made pro-Southwest comments, including the integration of AirTran pilots. Stop trying to find motivations... -

Looks Like DAL Is Staying At DAL
You don't seem to grasp the fact that Southwest has ~95% of the traffic in and out of DAL and that the precedent for dealing with carriers who have a high percentage of the traffic at an airport is to take some assets from the monopoly carrier and give those assets to 'shut out' carriers. It... -

Looks Like DAL Is Staying At DAL
Howard, thanks for posting some legal mumbojumbo. Means nothing. At one time, Love was supposed to be closed to all commercial air traffic. Then all commercial flights could only be flown within Texas. If you somehow think that Southwest is going to be permitted to keep near monopoly on Love... -

Looks Like DAL Is Staying At DAL
Howard, that's because you're unable to envision JetBlue, Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant, Alaska, or any other smallish 'shut out' carrier petitioning for access to Love. That's straight from Southwest's old playbook. They will be granted access to Love and Southwest will be forced to accommodate... -

Looks Like DAL Is Staying At DAL
Howard, we can discuss this until the cows come home, but Southwest was attempting to have a monopoly at DAL. The only reason why Virgin America has gates at DAL is because the Justice Department allowed only Virgin America to acquire American's (forced divestiture) gates at DAL. No one else... -

Looks Like DAL Is Staying At DAL
Howard, like I said, Delta's just taking a page from Southwest's playbook. That's how Southwest has operated at multiple airports around the country to get gates/slots from Delta, American and United over the years. You guys had no problem taking other airlines' assets for pennies on the... -

Belated update. Southwest is filing a couple of lawsuits since they've gone against Southwest. Appealing Kinkeade's ruling: http://aviationblog.dallasnews.com/2016/01/southwest-to-appeal-judges-ruling-on-delta-gates-to-fully-utilize-our-gates-at-love-field.html/ Filing to get the... -

Looks Like DAL Is Staying At DAL
The status quo will remain until one side exhausts all appeals. Probably years from now. With the glacial speed that Judge Kinkeade's moving (along with his less than charitable comments toward Southwest), one might think that the pizzas Southwest keeps sending to the courthouse don't have... -

Delta's Refinery - hows that wroking out ?
Here's an article disputing that $10M figure: http://247wallst.com/aerospace-defense/2015/10/26/how-much-does-a-used-boeing-777-cost/ The crack spread (a good measure of refinery profitability) has decreased quite a bit since summer. The refinery likely lost money this quarter and will... -

Southwest stuck in snow at BNA
Other. It is not appropriate for me to discuss further at this time. As for his justification to continually advertise on this forum, he stated: 'I wasn't advertising, I was simply responding to posts complaining this forum was dead offering another option. I didn't make any blind spam or... -

We'll see. He sent a PM threatening me. Amazing that he's wasting his time SPAMing this board with advertisements when 1) so few people even visit here, and 2) he wouldn't tolerate unpaid advertisements on his message board. -

Mark Paul, I just wasted 15 minutes of my time hoping to shut you up. You have the following type ratings (from the FAA database): A/CE-650 A/DA-10 A/DA-20 A/DA-50 A/G-V A/LR-JET You graduated from ERAU in Prescott in 1990. Your last name rhymes with bazooka. Your zip code is... -

LOL! Some joker probably put down 1 Million hours and now this clown's trying to tell us that the average pilot over there has more than 6K hours. This clown 1903flyer's funnier than Auntiebunkle. 1903flyer, airlinepilotcentral's free. And I'd bet it draws a lot more professional... -

6626 Hours? Doubt it. A lot of online names are chosen based on current jobs. Looking at your previous post; that board's full of CFIs and regional pilots: -

Awesome! CFIs and regional pilots discussing a 737 accident. I'm sure it's very entertaining. -

Congratulations, Uncle Bunkle!
Most everyone's moved over to APC; it's free. -

I guess no doesn't mean no for Delta
Given to Spirit and one or two other 'disadvantaged' carriers (JBLU?), IIRC. Given away the same reason why Southwest has been able to pick up gates/slots ... Southwest has been 'disadvantaged' and shut out of airports such as LGA. Same reason why Delta can now claim they've been shut out of... -

It would be a few housing subdivisions, just like Stapleton in Denver. -
