Nice to know the commenters in the Metroplex are about as dumb as those that comment in the Whirled.
If you don't ask, you don't get.

I hear there's a company called Solyndra that might need a new place to live. ;-)
I actually found the DFW comments pretty funny overall.
Looks like this effort helped a little bit. American still is going to cut up to 2,100 jobs in Tulsa, but the Ft. Worth base is closing completely.

EDIT: Especially 2k+ good paying union jobs.

The emphasis on my statement above should be on the "good paying" and not necessarily on the "union" part, though often they go hand in hand in these situations.
It's a tragedy regardless of how many or who loses their jobs. If they canned all the janitors and left everybody else standing it would still be a shame.
