That’s what I heard on the news. Seems like they wanted to be different for difference’s sake. It’s not like other airlines don’t have issues, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen another airline collapse like this over weather.

Best airlines I’ve experienced are Virgin and British Air. Will fly Virgin any chance I get.

Ive been on a lot of SW flights, and don’t think I’ve ever been on one that’s departed on time. Seriously.

Hub system is cool, except when everytime one gets to the hub, the crew swaps and the plane swaps. Then it really doesn’t matter if the inbound was on time, if the flight crew isn’t there delayed, if the plane isn’t there delayed, if the flight attendants park on gate 1 in MIA and have to go to gate 47 delayed. If it’s my go home day, DELAYED.

Weather compounds problems, but their pilot group are not happy, and they are over worked.

I have, but it's been a looooong time since I flew them. They were cheap out of Denver, but once I moved to Texas they weren't cheaper than American to go home (though I had plenty of issues with American...) and then I met AG and flew with her family on American and United.

Used to be the only practical way to fly around the state was SW. I used to fly a lot to Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus, etc.
Work no longer takes me their.

i can’t disagree about the look. i also found it somewhat harder to get stuff out than from the mesh pockets of the rapha cargo shorts i prefer. i don’t think i’ll use this again for anything less than 100 miles, at which point the capacity of my pockets is exceeded.

I generally prefer AA, but lately have been flying Delta to PIT so I don’t have to connect in Charlotte and have an extra 75 minutes of flight time.

DFW is nice in that I can get most anyplace I want to go on a nonstop flight. Other than international, I don’t think I’ve ever had a connecting flight or layover.

Oh how I hate riding indoors.
Every night the weather man says it will 30 something in the morning, wake up and it’s 20. Wrong everytime.

Wow! Clear roads? Lucky dog.
We’re supposed to hit the 40s but also winds of 30 mph with a chance of rain. I’m betting on an indoor ride if I ride at all. It is “zwischen den yahren” after all, the week of doing nothing.

I can’t risk getting sick again. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be in the 30s so I am hoping to ride.
Put the mavics on for now. I like the super teams, but they have to enter my circle of trust. I really don’t want to get flat in the cold.

Separately, JetBlue seems to have located my luggage. Maybe I’ll get it before year end too! They’re saying today, but given how badly they’ve poo-pooed everything else, I’m keeping my expectations low.

Delta is a bit player at DFW. AA controls the domestic market there. DFW is also a much shorter drive for us than Love Field, and I do like to pick my seat even if I have to pay a bit more.
DFW is nice in that I can get most anyplace I want to go on a nonstop flight. Other than international, I don’t think I’ve ever had a connecting flight or layover.

You can even get to Richmond direct from DFW, which begs the question, what havnt you?

I did not. I don’t think there was enough hole showing to cause a problem. When I went out with whyfi the other day they didn’t give me a problem, the roads were questionable at times.
