Southwest expanding into Pittsburg(h): For someone like me, who spends many hours of each year on a Southwest jet, the news being reported by the WSJ this afternoon, is significant. However, I never really travel to Pittsburg(h). Dear Southwest, please fly into Newark or Kennedy…and then into a city along the pan handle of Florida, anywhere from Mobile to Panama City would be just fine.
Update: What the “h” with my spelling of Pittsburgh?

I heard the SWA CEO interviewed this a.m. on the radio. He says they are looking for overpriced, underserved markets.
I got two words for him:
Pan-handle!!!!!!!

Rex, you are one of my favorite editors but you made a mistake that makes a Steel City-born lad like me crazy. Unless SWA is going to Kansas or California you are missing an “h” in Pittsburgh.

Jeff-Yins are exactly right.

Jeff, you should know. I guess this means I’ll have to cheer for the Steelers in the playoffs.
