I might be wrong in source idea, I think Carl Sagan? made mention of the ignorance of showing someone to your home who may actually be a serial killer or the like.

The other issue being that we may be advanced, but any civilization that makes its way here will be more so advanced and probably be easily able to enslave or destroy us. Without knowing their intent or ‘moral beliefs’ we probably should keep our whereabouts hidden from such beings until we also have the ability to travel to another system.

Nah, you’re right. They do have a ‘ponzi scheme’ style of doing business with the way they send pilots and crew to anywhere really and caused their own headache by not having the means to correct for these issues.

Maybe ‘employee shell game’ is a better description?

Anyways, I replied before seeing a more in-depth article and made regarded assumptions based on the knowledge I had at the time. Oh well.

I read the average cancellation for other carriers was around 2% vs 60-70% with southwest.

The cancellations weren’t necessarily market related. They were a ‘bomb cyclone’ weather event that was literally nationwide. Between power outages and high winds and heavy icing issues, it’s probable they did it due to a safety margin policy.

It sucks being stranded at an airport at no fault of your own, it’s better than reading about planes crash landing or having mechanical failures due to weather related/preventable issues.

My two cents. Guessing whatever the circumstances specifically, I doubt it will stop people from buying LUV flights. As a carrier, they are a better low end choice than the alla carte flyers.

I’d say the odds of winning this bet are very low in the contract length. Be ready to dump as soon as it’s in the money.

Sorry you all were stranded in various airports. That’s no way to spend travel time. Good luck to you!
