same ********************, different airline...

I want that on a sticker for your flight case...maybe with a steaming pile on one end...
 
Comsumers anyone ?

In the end the consumer will determine how an airline operate. If an airline can not generate even paying seats, it has to look at cost side of the bottom line in an attempt to maintain profitability. This profitability allows such things as getting new airplanes, buying fuel hedge, and hiring more employees. Has anyone watched SWA’s tickets advance purchase prices fluctuate over the last 5 weeks? For example ABC-XYZ route ticket for Oct 1, 2009 $209, $159, $129, $109, $99. It looks like they can not sell advance purchase above the price of the rest of the industry. This is putting pressure on the bottom, empty seats.

One level of safety?

We're talkin a part 91 ferry to El Salvador, not a route across the Polar ice cap or somewhere into the heart of Africa. You can hit it with a rock from Hobby fer cryin out loud.
 
Obviously Southwest management doesn't trust their own pilots to fly outside of the contiguous 48 states.(can't hit much going to LBB and MAF most of the time) Instead, they think Volaris and Westjet pilots could do better. Maybe they can hire some Taca pilots to fly the Southwest planes to San Salvador for mx. It might be safer....

Forget about how they get to San Salvador, but focus on why they go there.

Once again the bottom line attacks American jobs and aircraft safety. You can't tell me that San Salvador has met all FAA standards! For that matter why does the FAA allow this at all?

Not to mention the much higher threat of infiltration and sabotage to aircraft by terrorists when in San Salvador than the USA.
