    Let Me Sum Up

    Memo to Gordon Keith: I got paid $XX to write this column about you

    Eric Celeste
    Mar 15, 2013 | 9:08 am

    It’s the Friday 5, that time of the week when I try to summarize my favorite stories of the day without ruining lifelong friendships. Harder than you’d think!

    1. Gordon Keith writes about why you shouldn’t know how much money your friends make.
    Keith has a column in the Dallas Morning News today about how knowing your friends’ salaries (or how much anyone makes) can be cancerous. He leads with an anecdote about how I, he, and two of our friends had an awkward moment when a few of us started comparing salaries.

    Like a Bob Woodward tale, the recounting is mostly true but at least part of the human dynamic is missing. First, we weren’t drunk. It was happy hour, and if we weren’t on our first beers, then we were on our second. It’s important to note that we don’t need to be soused to ball-bust each other in a manner that could lead to hard feelings. That can happen over breakfast.

    Two, even though Keith is exactly right about the corrosive nature of income discussions, it’s not just junk-kicking that leads to such exercises. In fact, I’m pretty sure I started the whole thing, because — besides fostering tension among friends — I think there’s something worthwhile and helpful in being open about money and the hurdles we place in our path no matter what that annual salary figure looks like.

    For example: I’m fascinated by how much radio pays its media stars. It’s an industry that, like television but unlike writing for print, values talent and pays the suits much less than the people who drive the ratings and profit. (Generalizing wildly here.)

    And I believe there is something very useful in being open about such things Keith ignores here. I think it’s helpful to see how someone can be frugal and take a modest but not spectacular salary and make it work for him or her. I think it’s instructive to see that someone can make several times that and still struggle to make ends meet. (Here’s a fascinating story about how semi-famous writer Neal Pollock crapped away all his money with poor decisions.)

    I think most of us have no idea exactly what we’re supposed to do when we go from making $18K out of school and one day are making $30K or $50K or $110K or $250K or $600K annually. Often that uncertainty leads to problems that perhaps could be avoided if friends were more open about the decisions they make.

    I have a very rich friend whom I regularly grill about his finances, because it’s fascinating to see how someone who makes millions every year could be strapped for cash. As well, it’s fascinating to see people who make much less spend and save wisely, and I’m thankful for their advice and counsel. (It hasn’t done me any good, but I’m thankful.)

    I’m not saying we need to wear a pin on our shirts that declares how much money we bring in. It’s true salary discussions are probably best left to job interviews. But I think finding a way to talk openly and honestly about money can be useful.

    For example: It can motivate the person at the table who made less than everyone there to be more aggressive when negotiating future salaries. I think it’s fair to say that neither of the two writers at the table want to play the salary-guessing game with him now.

    2. More stuff about the Dallas DA Craig Watkins.
    Here.

    3. Ted Cruz says Obama meeting gave him hope.
    That won’t last, but, okay.

    4. Perry thinks the GOP needed to be more conservative.
    He’s insane. But it makes me giggle.

    5. The Mercantile Continental is open for renters.
    Downtown gets even awesomer.

    Southwest Airlines signs on for another 15 years at Dallas Love Field

    Southwest Airlines has signed on with Dallas for 15 more years. According to a release, the Dallas City Council extended Southwest Airlines’ lease for 18 gates at Dallas Love Field (DAL) until September 2040.

    It's a pro-active step: The current lease expires in September 2028, but the Department of Aviation proposed the early completion of a new and subsequent Use and Lease Agreement with the airline, in order to secure predictable costs and create financial and operational stability as the number of passengers flying through the airport increases.

    Dallas Love Field is the busiest medium hub airport in the U.S., serving approximately 17 million passengers annually.

    Finalizing the agreement at this stage provides a foundation for long-term planning and investment, helping to position Dallas Love Field to meet rising passenger demand, especially with annual boarding projected to reach 10 million by the end of 2026.

    This agreement also sets Dallas Love Field up to begin relieving congestion and continue efficient operations.

    In a statement, Southwest Airlines president and CEO Bob Jordan recalled the airline's beginnings.

    “Our first flight took off from Love Field in 1971, and our purpose today is just as fulfilling as it was then—to connect people to what matters most in their lives with friendly, reliable, and low-cost air travel," Jordan said. "The capital investments under this new agreement will help ensure our home at Love Field remains a premier airport with enhancements to the customer experience for years to come.”

    Southwest also just implemented its new policy to begin charging a fee for checking bags, after years of touting its policy of allowing passengers to check bags for free. As of May 29, they'll charge $35 for a first checked bag and $45 for a second.
