Southwest Airline reported 320 million dollar profit in the last 3 months. I have a huge concern with this. I believe the airline is making way to much money. I believe the government should step in and take some of that money away from them. After all we have fat people living on SS who can’t afford to buy meat.

 Southwest should be treated just like the oil companies and only be allowed to earn so much money. They are not really doing much but flying people to another city, I mean get real, people could just drive. With the government trying to control oil companies, how much fat you can eat, where you can smoke and now maybe cell phones, why not Southwest Airline?

I think the government should take ALL the profits from this greedy airline, who is flaunting the fact THEY HAVE MANAGED their company successfully and give the money to AAirlines, who can't! That's the only fair thing to do... then raise our taxes! Besides, ppl have no business flying where they want when they want, anyway! Ppl are starving in the world, and these lazy ppl are flying and using GASOLINE!! What an outrage!

signed Nanny Pelosi

Pelosi's right - how in the world can she get a larger private airplane, if us peons are going to use up the fuel she needs for her's ?

Dig deep America - pay more taxes

it's the new CHANGE program !

Ok Chardoney & Furbie...yall almost had me going there.
I think Acoolone has flip his wig, lost a tooth, or is just plain crazy!
Southwest is one if not the BEST airline flying! I have nothing good to say about AA, so dont even get me started on that one.
Southwest has made their profits by treating their customers right!And managing their fleet in a proper manner. I know there have been a few ppl that had a complaint, but I stand behind SWA. I just wish I could work for them!

You also have to understand one thing. Oil companies are reporting record high profits. Just remember, they are also having record high expenses. The margin of profit is the same. This is also true of airlines. Record high profits measured against record high expenses equal not as much profit as people think. Southwest is the best airline, hands down. American is the worst. They have major problems in that company. It may surprise you, but do you realize that the government owns something like 75 per cent of the land in this country, including land containing oil reserves. The government has a huge role in keeping oil prices high. You will never hear that on the news media. It is one of those best kept secrets that can be proven true with a little research.

Southwest got lucky - if I understand it right all airlines hedge fuel prices. Southwest just lucked out. Most major airlines sold theirs after 9/11 to stay afloat - notice no one but Southwest has been consistently profitable. It is a great company.

I think the government should take over the airlines and oil companies. That's the only way to ensure fairness and take all those obscene profits and put them to good use. After all, the government is known for efficiency and competence at running a business.. right? :-)

Sadly, some people will think I'm serious and think what I just said is a good idea. In fact, at least one Democrat in congress says the government should take over the oil refineries. Keep that scary thought in mind when you vote this fall.

Doesn't get any better than SWA. These guys kick rectum!

Besides, they aren't making profits anywhere near what Exxon makes. Maybe the gov should take half of Exxons yearly earnings and hand it over to AA so they can finally make a profit.

Better yet, Exxon should hand out some gas (fuel) relief checks.

I think Pelosi just sent troops to seize Southwest's money

Now there's a plan, Packerbacker

The 'Exxon Stimulus Rebate' :

they send rebate checks to all the 'legal' residents

they shed their high profits - the government and the people are happy

they get the government off their butts for making too much money -
we get another two tanks of gasoline & a big mac
Happy Days !

Then Exxon raises their prices to offset the loss of profits

Crappo - here we go again ! LOL

Welcome back, Packerbacker.

Those darned capitalists will never learn, will they?!

Did you hear Obam's socialist speech to the Germans?

The guy is severely dangerous.

I hope they make a few billion more of profits.

PBacker, what's Brett trying to do? Crazy rascal has been calling the Vikings on his Gbay issued cell.

LOL!! I think the old feller just wants some attention. I'd hate to see him wearing a Vikings jersey.
Would be odd to see the Packers against the Vikings on opening monday night football and Favre QBing the Vikes.

Sorry to intercept this blog!

Favre is calling GBay's bluff and is announcing he is reporting to training camp!

I agree with fvsmith!

We should never penalize a company that earns money the honest way. SouthWest earned their money by managing their company well.

I also admire Toyota, because when the Camry became the most popular car, they designed a hybrid version, unlike Ford that temporarily discontinued its Taurus when it was it's most popular vehicle. And Ford stll does not have a hybrid version of the Taurus.

Chard, I thought you had smoked crack until I got down to where you signed your post Pelosi.
That was great!
