I don't think I knew about this. It sounds like it would have been a lot of fun.

I naturally wonder what the terms of this deal are. It's well-known that magazines are in trouble right now, and SI is probably getting hurt just as much. My guess is that SI is paying SWA some good money for this.
It won't influence me one way or another. I fly an airline because of the service and the price I get. I couldn't care a less what their planes look like.
It really amazes how silly people can be in the face of human sexuality. Here is a woman showing her best on the side of a plane, and people on this board are having seizures about it. It's frightening to think that these people actually vote.

Some people in my office may not be happy with losing the Midland-Austin flight.

This is a brilliant move. Westjet basically copied SWA's plan--flying a whole fleet of 737's, for example. Apparently, Westjet is one of the few airlines that is still making money. Of course, SWA is still making money.
It's good to take your time on something like this. I suppose Westjet will be coming to Midway soon.

CMH is an easy airport to get around. It's also very easy to get in and out of. And with good roads, it's easy to get downtown and anywhere else.
The port authority also made the wise decision to have the cargo flights (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.) fly in and out of Rickenbacker (LCK) airport. That's about ten miles away. A few commercial airlines (like Hooters Air) have also flown out of LCK.
Still, some other companies like NetJets still use CMH.
And with Bolton Field and the little airport at OSU, it will surprise a lot to hear that Columbus actually has four airports.
