Southwest tweaks its PHL schedule

Southwest won't be flying nonstop between PHL and LAX or Oakland for awhile. Baltimore to California nonstop also will be out of the schedule by fall, although the changes may only be temporary. CEO Gary Kelly briefed analysts and reporters on that and other tweaks it made to its schedule as a way to cut costs at a time of high fuel costs and a sluggish economy. Two other local notes: one less PHL-Providence flight and one additional PHL-Nashville roundtrip. And the airline says in the fourth quarter it will announce changes in its seating and boarding policy, frequent-flier program and overall fare structure Read more in our story for print tomorrow, and in an AP story and check in again forr additional insight as the week goes on.

Well, so much for my Contrarian Army of One uprising fomented by Mr. Taubenberger's dismissal of Southwest Airlines as a dog's breakfast of commuters and leisure types. I see that my battle call failed to echo through the canyons of commerce in Dallas so we have no choice but to fold the tent and stand down on this issue.

I will while away my remaining flying days as a member of the coalition of the unwilling who fly the surly skies of the Arlington Aeroflot.
