This is amazing news. With the price of fuel increasing on a daily basis, it's just a matter of time before the "legacy" carriers start falling like dominoes.

You guys are a legacy carrier now, the rest of us are hoping you hold on to the money so we can negotiate on a me-too basis. Once your hedges run out good luck.

By the time Southwest's hedges run out, if fuel is still at $55 or higher, Southwest will need good luck. But not too many other airlines would even be around.

I admire SW. My point is that you pay legacy carrier wages and workrules. These other guys coming down the pike do neither. Where I am we have the cash to ride it out for a while, but they are not waiting for a while. The next 90 days are going to be brutal, the only thing blunting more layoffs is doing other airlines heavy maintenance and flying to Asia. Anyway, I digress. Best of luck.
