That aim has since proven effective, for since Southwest's inception, over 50 moderately-priced airlines have gone out of business. It is said that somewhere in Hell, The Man lies in wait for the destruction of Southwest Airlines, his Force weakening by the second. This is one of the contributors to what is known as the Southwest Effect, which basically says: "When a low fare company enters a market, the market itself collapses slowly and painfully, and The Man gets thoroughly screwed over."

That aim has since proven effective, for since Southwest's inception, over 50 moderately-priced airlines have gone out of business. It is said that somewhere in Hell, The Man lies in wait for the destruction of Southwest Airlines, his Force weakening by the second. This is one of the contributors to what is known as the Southwest Effect, which basically says: "When a low fare company enters a market, the market itself collapses slowly and painfully, and The Man gets thoroughly screwed over." Image:Planetwisted.jpg In March 1989, airline businesses everywhere cheered as a new company emerged into the market. A sub-division of American Airlines, Bane of the Southwest Air was established to thoroughly screw that which screwed everyone else (Southwest, for those of you who weren't listening). This seemed to work for the first couple weeks, but by April, something extraordianry was beginning to happen. And on June 14, 1989, it was confirmed: all Southwest airlines aircraft had become self-aware. After that, many a riot were held in the streets, and protesters carrying broken beer bottles and live rattlesnakes swarmed Southwest airports. Unfortunately, they found out too late: the airports themselves had also become self-aware. In one week, over 14 million protesters died of alcohol poisoning, snakebites, and suffocation via airport food. And it wasn't until January of 1990 that the world realised that everything, the airplanes, the crew, the airports, all of it had become one living, pulsating creature.
