It would be nice to have hedges like Southwest. But frankly, we don’t. So we need to see what we can do to get fares up a little bit.

And you’ve got to remember that I’m also the father of nine children.

London and New York through a secondary airport. There could be a new international model. We’re just not anxious to get into that market.

Be it $15 million here and $11 million there, it takes hundreds of millions to be successful in this business.

Right now only 15 percent of costs are fuel-related. If costs double that has an effect, but it will be less on us than our competitors. It’s not alarming right now.

Certainly, we are hurt by the high fuel prices because it raises our cost.

Without a doubt, it’s been the events of September 11th and their aftermath. There’s never been a more critical time in the airline business.

I also really like getting to know our crew members better.

We are very disappointed in our performance this quarter as we continued to feel the effects of record-high fuel prices and a tough revenue environment, compounded by the impact of Hurricane Wilma and the residual...

I actually thrive on all the challenges, and I don’t feel like ADD has impaired my ability.

Our major headquarters is at John F. Kennedy airport. We are four miles from the airport and are on top of our operations everyday.

I really see low-fare carriers, quality low-fare carriers anyway, continuing to become more and more popular.

We probably priced too high on the top end, and too low on the bottom end.

This is not a business where you can hand off and run by remote control.

The Blackberry is really essential for keeping up on my emails when I’m out of the office, which is a lot.

What you can’t buy is the loyalty that comes through our dedicated crewmembers.

There are a lot of people interested in our network. We could have something by the end of 2006.

Value will always be on top of everyone’s lists now, right along with safety.

I believe the public’s confidence would be increased if the federal government took over the functions of airport security screening for all passengers.

I’m always crunching numbers, so my calculator watch is a must.

We’re going to look at (slowing deliveries) very seriously as we look at our routes and where the capability is and where the substantial profitability (is).

We’re reviewing everything to see how we can do it better, faster, and more efficiently.

I think they got caught up in how much money they could get from each of the city governments as far as tax rebates. But that stuff works when you make money. It’s a little...

Just keep thinking about the good side of ADD – the creativity and the originality it can stimulate.

I think we can do better than that as we go forward.

Our people get profit-sharing checks. I got a report the other day that says that 84 percent of our people participate in our stock purchase program, where they can buy stock at a 15 percent...

People were desperately trying to fill their seats for the summer. And so prices are really low right now. And so they are kept from raising prices to make up for that difference.

And, of course, customers really need to feel safe and are seeking reassurance when they fly.

Richmond will play an important part of that. If we’re successful in Richmond, we’re going to add more flights and more cities.

Seat assignment didn’t matter if you’re flying Dallas to Houston and you did it 38 times a day. People just got on, you didn’t sit next to your wife, and it was a 45-minute flight....

We’re the No. 1 airline at Kennedy, and we’re going to defend Kennedy. We don’t believe Delta is doing well here.

Of course, we should all be aware of what we’re packing in our carry-on luggage – anything that might be considered dangerous could be confiscated at a security checkpoint.

Taking these actions now allows us to continue to grow at a less accelerated rate, while still preserving our ability to take advantage of market opportunities now and in the future.

We are just interested in dealing with the people we’re paying every day. We know federal law allows them to vote in a union at anytime, but we think we can resist that by talking...

We’re going to diversify the route system into a lot of new routes. We feel really good about what we’re doing going forward.

We tried to set up a company that patterned ourselves after Southwest in all the fun, the spirit, the great people, the smile, the efficiency side of it, but we’ve added some extras that people...

We are going to cut our cost and figure out how our average fares can go up a bit.

We don’t want a third party who may or may not have our best interests in mind or our crew members’ best interests in mind because they may be serving a union of one of...

People in New York and Boston want nonstop service to Austin, but it’s been too difficult and expensive. We think it’s too great a city to keep under wraps any longer.

It’s so important to experience what your customers are experiencing and listen to their suggestions.

I think it hurts profitability more than the business because the airlines have tried and tried to pass on higher fares, and it’s not going to happen.

A lot of airlines have come and gone.
