Wonder what a information system would have cost?
I'm guessing a little bit less than what they lost.

Jeez, yeah even 10% of that loss would've covered t3h best system ev4h.

Don't bet on it. These systems are incredibly complex and delicate, as we have seen. To begin such an endeavor is potential career suicide for execs, with a low probability of full success within one's tenure. There is a high probability of huge cost overruns and delays.

Yeah but if you gave $80 million to Horace, he would have the IT system done in a few weeks. He would even post timelapse photos of it as it's being built.

Not just me. Mark or Copper could do it even better.

I don't know what sort of systems Copper has worked on, but Mark’s software probably has more in common, tracking and sharing equipment location, usage and maintenance. He would have a good idea of the immensity of adding passengers, crews, flight times, luggage, etc. to that.

Only flew SW once. It was nice back then, late 90's. I'd have a very hard time buying a ticket from them now.

Some study that recently came out ranks Southwest as the worst airline of the year.
