Those probably are some very high fares going to Florida.Southwest announced their latest service expansions and reductions for May. This is the first big, encompassing announcement since US's large withdrawal from PIT. People predicted big things from WN in PIT...some even suggesting 60+ new flights.
Latest expansion for WN in PIT......???????
1 extra daily flight to TPA
PHL gets 2 PHL-DEN flights. In April they gets STL, AUS and SAT service too. Is this the DL gates they are utilizing for these flights?Those probably are some very high fares going to Florida.
Considering that WN has reduced their growth plans significantly since US' latest cuts in PIT were announced - their May schedule represents a reduction of 17 round trip flights - the fact that PIT gained a flight says something.

He says that Southwest execs. have told them PIT has been the fastest growing new market for WN of any other market for WN ever.....
Southwest Airlines will add 18 new departures from Denver and six additional cities, marking its largest expansion here since arriving two years ago.
The new destinations: Philadelphia; Raleigh, N.C.; Los Angeles; St. Louis; San Jose, Calif.; and San Antonio. As part of the expansion, the company will add one additional flight between Denver and Austin, Texas, Albuquerque and Chicago.

When it starts the latest round of new service in May, Southwest will have 79 daily departures in Denver to 23 cities — a nearly sixfold increase from when it launched here in January 2006.
No - your "can't do wrong" US and it's continued reductions are salt in the wound. Which airline kept saying they didn't expect more reductions after each new announcement of reductions?Considering the reductions there in the past 4 years...and especially the last few months....1 extra WN flight is like salt in the wound.
WN says it won't expand untill it can make $1 billion per year from new sources says the philadelphia inquirer jan 9, 2008 www.philly.comNo - your "can't do wrong" US and it's continued reductions are salt in the wound. Which airline kept saying they didn't expect more reductions after each new announcement of reductions?
Who has added more PIT flights than WN "in the past 4 years"? If that's "salt in the wound", PIT could use some more of that.

Added all those flights and they're still behind US AFTER all the cuts.No - your "can't do wrong" US and it's continued reductions are salt in the wound. Which airline kept saying they didn't expect more reductions after each new announcement of reductions?
