The woman was right; the airline was wrong.

Nope. Airlines have the right to refuse service to anyone who, in their
judgment, is inappropriately dressed, intoxicated or otherwise in violation
of their policies. The problem here was not the images. It was the "word".
Good for them! The woman can complain all she wants but airlines can set
their own standards.

Then, if someones rights disappear when they enter someone elses
private property, our government should quit subsidizing them. Also, if
the above is true, would it mean that if someone enters my property,
that they have instantly 100% lost all of their rights as afforded by
the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, etc? I'll bet that while still on
private property, she was read her Miranda RIGHTS!!!!!

well, as usual, your interpretation is dead wrong; but in any event it is
apples and oranges; private property v. public conveyance

Excuse me?
Did you just say the U.S. gov't does not subsidize the airline industry?

There was the one-time bailout following the terrorist attacks, which
legislation did include what you could call indirect subsidy in the form of
deferred tax payments, etc. These deferments have, I believe, all passed in
the intervening 4 years. There is also a small program to subsidize
essential air service to small rural communities, comprising some $120M per
annum, a statistical pittance of which, I believe, Southwest does not
partake. Generally speaking, though, the days are long gone when airlines
were broadly subsidized by federal money across the board.

Correct.
No subsidy there, huh?

If by "etc" you mean guaranteed bond backing & loans (grants really
since nobody expectes them to be paid back, but calling it a "loan"
helps mask the size of the deficit) then yep, right again.

But that's not really a "subsidy" is it? I mean, what's a few billion
among friends right?

... These deferments have, I believe, all passed in

Bzzzt
But you're 2 for 3 here, pretty good.

Don't know about that, if true the program doesn't work. Rural air
service sucks, and that's on the east coast near the DC-Boston axis.

... Generally speaking, though, the days are long gone when airlines

Other than all the subsidies and unpaid loans, yeah. But who's gonna get
picky about details when you're having a nice little fascist rant?

Actually I'm glad to see that you have at least a slight connection to
reality, even if you forget at times. Perhaps you could keep an eye on
the other members of your little club.

Southwest is one of the few truely profitable airlines, according to a
friend who is a pilot for American.

He said the secret of their profitability is that they only fly one type of
airplane, (the Boeing 737 at the time of our conversation). Their spare
parts inventory, technical maintenance staff, pilots and air crew only have
to support and be qualified in the one type of aircraft.

Also I read somewhere that they bought fuel contracts with guaranteed prices
that gives them a significant advantage over other airlines.

They also have a short turn around time WRT getting the planes back in the
air..........without in flight service, there is less cleaning etc to
do.................also their leg to leg operation......instead of the
hub/spoke system works to their advantage.

Different factors can receive different emphasis. In my view, having been a
small part of the industry, Southwest's success is owed primarily to good,
solid management and excellent employee relations. Having to support and
train for only one aircraft type is certainly a significant factor in cost
control.
