Good: United Threatens To Kick Off Passengers Who Don’t Use Headphones – One Mile at a Time
This one came out last month, but I must have missed it. I am all about this one. Especially if they start allowing phone calls on planes.
Pizza Hut Offering Free Pizzas for Summer Reading (Pre-K to 6th Grade) – Danny the Deal GuruÂ
Oh snap. Childhood memories flowing back with my favorite school program ever. My daughter also loves to read, so this is pizza in the bank! All that is missing is an Off Road arcade machine in the restaurant. Nitro boosts, always buy the nitro boosts.
Southwest Airlines Marks ‘Turning Point’ With Record First Quarter Results – Travel PulseÂ

I’ve never been particularly attracted to Southwest. If they were to adopt 2×2 premium seating and roll out lounges, I’d be a player.
As for their profitability, if they didn’t adapt, they’d go out of business. Loyalists would have nothing anyway. Why complain? So, if they’ve found their groove, people stay employed and God bless them.
While I agree with you to a point. Southwest was profitable for 47 straight years. I don’t think they needed to recreate the entire wheel, or throw the baby out with the bathwater like they did. These results will just have activist investors using the same playbook over and over again, grab their money and exit the company they turned on its head.
