I'd say the WestJet deal is ok, they're a known product, and we're working closely with them on other (non code share) projects. I think the quality is up to SWA standards.
I don't think we can say the same about a 2 year old Mexican start up (flying Airbuses btw, not 737's) or an RJ provider.
Could you elaborate on that standard of "quality"?
Remember the episode of AILRLINE where the two SWA agents were hustling the older couple between terminals to a connection on Korean Airlines? They were both nearly in cardiac arrest and I think they thought they were being abducted. One of the SWA hottie types kept screaming into a radio the play by play as though this were the most complex endeavor feat ever attempted in commercial aviation.
Is that what you're talking about? Because that's not what I've seen in Mexico or anywhere else in any country you might call third world.
I'd love for SWA to get to start doing some international flying. I'd like for you to see how nice it is. I'd especially like to be there at the moment the SWA collective figures out why US domestic sucks so bad.
