HA - Latest System Bid
Because other than coming from some SWA trolls here, it's never been a rumor at Hawaiian. Nothing but Flightinfo make believe. -
Rumors are flying: Will Southwest Airlines change the look of its planes?
SWA is not a legacy airline. -
Swa hawaii update
http://blogs.wsj.com/middleseat/2013/03/15/southwest-airlines-isnt-cheapest-most-of-the-time-study-confirms/ It is well known Hawaiian does not have the cheapest fares to Hawaii, yet we keep our planes full and people keep buying our tickets. Not everyone wants to fly "Greyhound". BTW, your... -

Swa hawaii update
No Wave, the angry Hawaiian thing is just a side benefit. It's the M-B Act and the arbitrators following federal law that will protect me. You and your SWA brethren always seem to conveniently forget that. You can bet your second to last penny that the Hawaiian pilots will not roll over and... -

Swa hawaii update
Wave, Hawaiian would not roll over and accept a staple because the one good thing that came out of the SWA-Air Tran merger was actual research into the law. Our pilots would never vote to accept a staple or anything that would be acceptable to your inflated view of SWA pilots self-worth... -

HAL converts A350-8 orders to A330neo...
But we will still be growing big with all the 321neos on order. -
HAL converts A350-8 orders to A330neo...
Also in 2019 instead of 2017 like the 350 was supposed to be here, or like a 787 could have been here. -
Three 737s end up in the Clark Fork River
I have friend currently in a SWA new hire class. He sent me this: So found out today during "lunch with Gary" that two of the amphibious 737s were bound for SWA as August deliveries and are now being delayed for a while. The VP of flight ops said they are thinking about delaying fall classes... -

What Heavy jet will SWA buy?
I understand Wave, SWA is all knowing and better than everyone else. SWA always knows how to best do everything and SWA is always right. Every pilot wants to fly for SWA and hopes that they are lucky enough to be bought by SWA so they can get an otherwise undeserved/unearned place at the bottom... -
What Heavy jet will SWA buy?
I see sarcasm is beyond you. The professional response is to comply with ATC instructions if at all possible so as not to create additional conflicts for other aircraft in the area. If you can use speed brakes to comply with the ATC instructions, the professional response is to use your... -
What Heavy jet will SWA buy?
Change all those "unable" to "don't want to". Save the "unable" for when it really can't be done. (I'll admit with their self-imposed limitation SWA guys might actually have to say "unable" more often then the rest of us.) You're not just "teaching ATC", you're potentially causing problems for... -
What Heavy jet will SWA buy?
Wave, I have been in a SWA cockpit at least twice that I can remember on the KEPEC arrival to the 25s where the gear came out between IPUMY and NIPZO. 20 out going into SAN seems to be a regular thing. If you have autothrottles, they should wake up if the speed gets close to 15 KIAS slow... -
What Heavy jet will SWA buy?
In this case it more SWA Bubba than General Lee... I've been told by Boeing instructors that the principals of VNAV are the same, how you implement/program VNAV differs by FMS/aircraft. But - VNAV attempts to maintain optimum glide path. It will allow speed increases of up to +/- 15 KIAS to do... -
-
What Heavy jet will SWA buy?
If you're talking about discussing VNAV with the SWA pilots I know in Vegas, then it's normally things like when you can use speed intervention and remain in VNAV Path, at what speed difference will it drop into VNAV Speed from VNAV Path (i.e set speed versus what is actual as plane tries to... -
-
What Heavy jet will SWA buy?
I'm not saying SWA pilots are incompetent or bad pilots, i'm saying as a group they don't understand VNAV and need to ramp up the kearning curve. I say this from personal observation while jumpseating (and keeping my mouth shut) and from conversations over beers with the SWA pilots I know who... -
What Heavy jet will SWA buy?
As a matter of fact, I am typed in the 737 and have flown the aircraft. To stay in VNAV Path, you have to stay within rate of decent parameters and speed parameters. If you are not going to do so, you have to change something. The FMS alerts you to do this. If you don't want to add drag... -
What Heavy jet will SWA buy?
If you're talking SWA, I've jump seated in the cockpit enough to know the inability to maintain VNAV path is self induced. When the FMS says "drag required" you have to increase drag. The SWA rule against speedbreaks with any flaps makes that hard to do unless you want to start throwing your... -
