Hi y'all. I am hoping I can help facilitate a fair, ongoing and healthy discussion. I am a total airline geek, but right now work in software development. I hope you will check out my blog and podcast at www.theairlineinsider.com.
DING! Business Class on Soutwest? Sort Of…
For the record, I am neutral about Southwest... I fly them if they get me where I am going conveniently. I don't go out of my to fly them or not to fly them...

Southwest Airlines to accept PayPal
I think this is a very cool idea, but not necessarily something that will bring SWA additional revenue. It may be a convenience to some small percentage of passengers, however, I think its a smart move as it positions Southwest as technology savvy and not as stolid or old fashioned as some legacies...

AirTran extending BWI service to Maine
Does anyone know if B6's service is also a success? It seems that for whatever reason its awfully hard to fail with service to PWM. _____________ TheAirlineInsider. com (Jul 8, 2007 | post #1)
