- And a note from me, about a probably bad decision by Southwest post-merger with Airtran - ty97 Sep 26, 12:44
- Southwest *claims* that ATL hub was losing money when they bought Airtran and that they fixed that, but it hasn't recovered post-COVID. - ty97 Sep 26, 12:29 1
  - I will note (read someplace yesterday I think): Airtran had 17% market share at ATL. Southwest as 10% share today, before the reductions. -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 26, 12:31
- It's like they're just running their divisional reports for the first time. "You're losing HOW much?" -- nm - David Sep 26, 12:26
- They were trying to get market share from Hawaiian, yes? Seems like a poor financial bet. How lucrative can that market be? -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 26, 12:22 1
  - Primarily, I think they are just trying to serve Hawaii, as it's one of the most demanded destinations of any loyal flyer base in the US. -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 26, 12:28
- Here's the full Twitter thread I've been pulling from, by an aviation reporter. If anyone is so inclined for more. -- (link) - ty97 Sep 26, 12:21

- "Reaching new Customers through channel expansion." Google Flights, Kayak, and (soon) Skyscanner -- nm - ty97 Sep 26, 12:07 6
  - that was only the mildest barrier of entry to flying Southwest. if you wanted a Southwest ticket, you generally bought it -- nm - mr mooch Sep 26, 12:08 4
    - I've of a mixed mind on this one. I think there ARE plenty of people that went direct to southwest.com and booked out of habit and because.... - ty97 Sep 26, 12:18 3
      - at least for us best coasters, adding the redeye flights will sell infinitely more tix than just putting the fares up on aggregator sites -- nm - mr mooch Sep 26, 12:20 2
        
        The redeyes are definitely helpful, and they've added some redeyes to Hawaii that are designed for eastbound connections. - ty97 Sep 26, 12:22 1

      - You live in the South, so it doesn't matter what you think. -- nm* - Strongbad Sep 26, 12:52 1
        
        in my experience, it's not quite so insidious as implying KKK, but it's still not the best. - Dark Callisto 🦊 Sep 26, 12:54
      - maybe not a card-carrying member but living 5 miles south of the M/D Line, there wouldn't be a doubt in my mind what someone like Clay Higgins meant - mr mooch Sep 26, 11:55 1
        
        Unless he starts humming the theme song, I wouldn't think he's talking about the Duke boys. -- nm - Max Sep 26, 12:48
    - Well I didn't wanna just assume that these were inextricable. -- nm - con_carne Sep 26, 11:50
