I would be concerned about Q1 2013 and later, as those passengers with expiring companion passes abandon WN. I know that's what I will be doing.

WN posts Q3 loss
Unfortunately, this is very bad news. WN loss $140 millions dollars in 3rd Quarters.

Exactly. Of the $393 million negative impact of the hedges, WN said today that over $300 million of that "loss" has been restored a mere 20 days later, as the hedges were apparently at their low on 9/30/11 but have largely recovered as of 10/20/11.

If people want to crow how smart WN is when recording gains from fuel hedges, they have to accept potential for losses from fuel hedges, be they directly realized losses or mark-to-market losses.
It's been discussed before.

Besides, I think they should have charges all checked bags fees. Because they are losing the money due to fuel costs. There wil be no longer free checked bags fees. Eliminated them immediately! I think they should have charges 1st & 2nd checked bags fees.
Also, must pay $2 fees at curbside check-in and must pay $5 for kiosks check-in fees, too.
