Gate upgrades are considered a significant source of revenue for WN? How many people really buy these? This has got to be the greatest deflection in financial doublespeak history and got to be masking something bigger. Misdirection as GOB would say...
But for the small sign, there seems to be no effort to sell this. |

I have not heard the $40 upgrade being announced by the gate agent staff in quite some time.

Correct. We all paid more to fly one mile than we did last summer. But adding capacity faster than demand is growing leads to price-slashing. A revenue quandary that impacts "fee free" carriers most worries the Street.

Being halfway through their 45 consecutive year of profits must really be a punishing drag. :D
The much-watched metric is unit revenue. Aligning their expansion plans with demand is the key. The "drag" from the new reservation system is unforeseen. Honestly, it never crossed my mind. |

I used to book early bird for every flight; now, I just check in super early (thanks, Tripit) and go straight to the back. |

Time for another memo to all of the Gate Agents. But they still have those stupid little signs.

3Q 2017
|
Southwest Airlines posted a third-quarter adjusted profit of 88 cents a share on Thursday, narrowly beating Wall Street estimates, but revenues fell short of expectations. Southwest, the United States' second-largest airline by market capitalization, said it had canceled some 5,000 flights by the end of September because of the powerful hurricanes that struck the southern U.S. and the Caribbean, as well as the deadly earthquake that hit Mexico City last month. The disasters shaved $100 million off passenger revenues in the quarter. The airline's revenue from each seat it flies a mile, a key industry metric, fell 0.5 percent in the quarter from a year earlier. Revenue in the three months ended Sept. 30 was $5.27 billion, slightly lower than analyst estimates of close to $5.31 billion. http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/1199/3661780075.jpg |
