I posted this on the other SWA thread...
Having flown a bit in Mexico, I think we need to keep in mind that those stops wouldn't all fit into the present SWA business model. There are not many places were you will get a 30 min or less turn. Things just don't happen that way.
Don't yell Philly, because a lot of times you do get a decent turn there (and sometimes you don't), but I don't see ANY short turns in Cabo, Mazatlan, etc...
How will that fit?
No flame, just something to keep in mind.
Actually, I've been flying to Mexican destinations for years and I'll tell you this:
I would trade any of our domestic outstation or hub crews in a New York minute for the folks running our operations in Mexico. When you pull on to the ramp they are waiting, wands held high into the air. They take great care of our passengers with no drama whatsoever. Oftentimes, there is a set of stairs put on the rear of the airplane. The cleaing crew swarms like locust through the cabin and disappears out the back as quickly as they arrived.
Everybody takes pride in their job and busts ass.
Not picking on you, but what are you talking about?
PS - This isn't an airline issue, these are my experiences at over twenty different outstations in Mexico. I'd like to claim that perhaps it's my company doing a better job hiring the right folks than yours, but that's BS - one only need to look at our hubs to see what a piss-poor piece of leadership they're capable of in that arena. This is a cultural issue.
