Southwest to Newark!

[The Prussian]

Southwest to begin new service to Newark, beginning in Mar 2011, and fully implemented by Jun 2011, with 18 roundtrips, resulting from the UAL/CAL merger....

Couldn't have been Miami, or San Juan, or Charlotte, or ....... nevermind. Ugh!

I like 2 of those 3, EWR, just another place to bid around!

It's to grease the wheels for our merger. The feds wanted it and they got it. I've heard the rates are insanely high and off peak. I'd rather have Southwest take them instead of Gojets, Mesa, and the other afterbirths out there.

I'm sure SW will come out just fine in the end. Big thanks to Jeff and Glenn for feeling the urge to merge so they can get paid. Five flights/day to BWI and 4 to MCO will add long needed IT'S ON service for the poor taken advantage of NJ/NY passengers...

PS SW guys: most of times they won't give you 11 even if you nag or buy a LCD TV for the break room...

I'd say there goes the neighborhood, but look at the neighborhood.:laugh:

It's about damn time. Maybe the seal is broken.

Funny they do not have to action those slots off when the give them to LUV.

Enjoy the 2 hour taxi times boys and girls. You won't be able to reach V2 on the taxiway. How will affect trip pay????

Welcome to The Suck!

Repeat after me:

"On another radio, contact Clearance for new Airways."

Seriously, congrats! It now gives me another option for my commute from the Big D.

I don't hear Gary bitching about about LGA.

I'm just sayin',

Well, if you think LGA is bad you're gonna have lots of fun in the red-haired stepchild airport of New York.

Just wait for the position and hold, delay for arriving ifr aircraft into linden, a C-172.

10 minutes later......

 

[GuppyWN]

Who gives a crap? We have duty rigs. If Gary wants EWR then let's go.

Gup

 

[Jetjockey]

LGA is a picnic compared to EWR.

You're a genius. Except they're not getting the slots they're leasing them.

 

[RedDogC130]

Until the doj says they have to give them up and swa is already there

This will be a good thing. More commute options and it will probably put more customers on CAL widebodies. Sure am glad it's SWA rather than some European, half-sked, let's-go-across-the-Atlantic-for-ten-bucks outfit.

You feel it don't you? You know, that "oh crap" feeling way down deep in your flopgut.

The Borg cannot be stopped.

Uh, you're kidding right? I don't see a problem with this. I hope you last at least as long at EWR as you did at Intercontinental.
