FAA approves move by Atlanta-area airport opposed by Delta

[WorldTraveler]

no, you think I am slamming AA for everything it does.

I have said for some time that AA needs to reduce its capacity... that is what they are doing to Europe during the winter and to Latin America. where did I say those things are not financially positive moves?

and it still doesn't change that this topic is about an additional commercial airport which a developer wants but the community does not. DL can side one way or the other but the project will be killed by the people in that community.

and I have also not said that WN's restructuring of its network is a bad thing... just that they are not fulfilling their promise to be something significant in the ATL market. WN has raised fares in many ATL markets so that it is now carrying fewer passengers but getting higher total revenue which is good for DL.

ATL is turning out to be very good for both DL and WN; fares are higher while passengers are up slightly but generally in DL's favor.

 

[jcw]

you don't get it - by suggesting AA needs to reduce capacity and you continue to tout DL's adding of capacity - you by definition are saying AA can't grow but DL can't
 
you never cease to amaze everyone but yourself on this board with your logic

 

[WorldTraveler]

you don't get it.

nowhere, but nowhere, have I said that any carrier needs to cut profitable capacity.

and that includes DL.

and it also says that if DL or any other carrier can show that they are making money they are more than welcome to add it.

 

[jcw]

you have changed your tact now - you are now using "profitable capacity"
 
nice try - trying to change tactics

 

[LD3]

It's amazing how every topic goes off course.....

 

[robbedagain]

sadly LD3  any time he is proven inaccurate or not able to grasp straws  he changes tactics like people changing underwear   its his way of trying to say he is right   delta is king  and everyone else is wrong and all other air carriers are crap

 

[WorldTraveler]

there is no switching tactics.

do you honestly think that ANY company should be told not to grow where they can?

if you dn't realize that EVERY business has to grow if it intends to last, then you don't understand business.

there is a big difference between growing and growing profitably.

I would have thought that concept would be understood by people who work for for-profit companies but I am repeatedly reminded via this board how poorly a whole lot of people understand the most basic principles of business.

Is this the thread about the Paulding airport?

 

[WorldTraveler]

this would appear to be the genesis of the thread drift to capacity cuts. someone thinks that WN invented the concept.
 

No they did not. SWA showed them how to do that.  It's plane and simple, support SWA in the new community or SWA moves on, period...

that and Jim's comment that WN ran/runs from competitive markets....

the fact that the county seat of Paulding County is also named Dallas provides a little comic connection.

 

[swamt]

I hate to break it to you, jimbo, but a whole lot of airlines figured out how to exit unprofitable markets long before WN started spewing pollutants int the skies over N. America.

 
 

No they did not. SWA showed them how to do that.  It's plane and simple, support SWA in the new community or SWA moves on, period...

And you wonder why you are called an idiot.  You claim the off topic subject was started by me.  Wrong again idiot, I was responding to your off topic comment made by you before I posted.  Nice try but again you are wrong, can you read and comprehend date and time stamps above?  And you called me the genesis of the thread drift.  Man you are so stuck on trying to make me look bad that you actually make yourself look pathetic---keep posting brother...

 

[WorldTraveler]

yes, you are correct. Jim did first make the comment about WN leaving markets if they weren't profitable which elicited my response.....

but you still didn't hesitate to make this statement.

No they did not. SWA showed them how to do that.  It's plane and simple, support SWA in the new community or SWA moves on, period...

which is where the idiocy entered this conversation.

WN showed no one how to cancel unprofitable flying.

it had been done for years before WN ever started flying.

 

[eolesen]

Is this the thread about the Paulding airport?

Silly Kev... stop looking at the title of the thread to figure out what's supposed to be discussed...

 

[WorldTraveler]

except you would have to level your criticism against Jim since as swamt felt compelled to show us, swamt didn't bring up the idea of who was good at leaving airports. 
 
and the irony of this whole conversation is that we are talking about Dallas, Paulding County, Georgia alongside discussions about DAL, Dallas, Texas.
 
the people of Georgia are absolutely certain that the mistakes Texas made won't be repeated in Georgia.
 
I might actually have to drop a few rusty pennies in the collection plate at ATL next time I pass thru to make sure they succeed at their objectives.

And once again YOU cannot comprehend.  Re-read-idiot-for gods sake re-read and comprehend.  You are worse than a 3 year old...
And BTW, I already knew I was correct. But at least you finally realized it...

 

[WorldTraveler]

I know 3 year olds who have the maturity to know that throwing someone else under the bus is not the way to win friends and influence people.

I acknowledged that Jim started the train of thought regarding WN being so good at leaving markets.

you are the one who chimed in by saying that WN showed the industry how to leave markets which is about as stupid of a remark as can be made, regardless of who made it. the fact that you repeated it is supposed to make you look better, even if someone else made it?
