Southwest Says Planes Could Not Land Without Air Traffic Control
I wouldn't be doing a CatIII approach to an airport without an operating control tower either. I want up to date RVR values when its that low! If the weather was that bad when they left it is standard Southwest procedures that the ops agent alerts the passengers with a "weather advisory"... -

Swa Future - Assigned Seating?
I had heard a while back that the assigned seating issue was going to be an FAA requested change because they wanted to know who was sitting where. Just like when they went to an open cabin formate and removed the bulkheads so the FA's can see the whole cabin at once. So I think we are compiling... -

Any of you AA guys....
Me and the wife have been watching Survivor since its inseption. Terry is kicking A$$ and genuinely seems like a decent person on a show that brings out the worst in most people. Congrats to him and AA! We know that he will be at least in the final 3 for sure with the idol he has. He has... -

AA Pulling Out OF KMDW
This isn't the first or probably the last time for that matter that American comes into and pulls out of Midway. Been at least 3 times that I can remember in the last 20 years. -

This is not right!
Personally I am getting sick of people not being able to understand English in this country. All the signs and instructions being printed in Spanish is getting real old! Enough is enough! This is America. You want to live and work here do things legally and learn to read, write and speak the... -

Over AGE 60 PILOTS TO FLY IN UNITED STATES
I also did odd jobs for 6 months after Midways demise (very rude time of my life!) and then got picked up by Southwest. Your going to like this. Last November I got my check from the banktrupcy court from Midway Airlines that went out of business in November of 1991! It wasnt much but more than... -

Over AGE 60 PILOTS TO FLY IN UNITED STATES
Wow, they got a wavier ah? So I guess there is the possibility that we may also get a wavier Huh? Its called changing the rules to meet the needs of the current situation. It happens all the time and will also happen for Pilots. If it isnt this year it will be brought up again next year and then... -

Over AGE 60 PILOTS TO FLY IN UNITED STATES
Keep living in denial. Change is coming and you will either help to form its new rules or you will be forced to live under someones elses rules, your choice. Starting in November you will have foriegn Pilots flying into US airspace that are over 60 years old. The US Pilots wont be far behind... -

Over AGE 60 PILOTS TO FLY IN UNITED STATES
When rules that were put into place no longer apply to the current situation they are changed! Look at all the laywers there are in this country to make sure this continually happens. The rule that was put into place in 1959 no longer applies since people live much longer, are much healthier and... -

This is not right!
Here is the answer right here! If the fine was steep enough nobody would risk hiring them and they either would go back to where they came from or would not come here in the first place! We can probably all trace are roots back and it wasn't that long ago one of our own ancestors came to the... -

The Man Show: Drunk Pilots
I haven't seen that clip before either. But then again I don't get out much! ;) Thats was funny from my point of view but I sure do hope that when the skit was over they came clean and told the people it was for a TV show. We already get enough bad press with drinking and flying. Pisses me... -

Stupid SWA Question:
If your flying qualifications are where they need to be you won't need a degree but it always helps in these very competitive times. They are looking more for personality, can do attitude, leadership roles in your past jobs etc. to go with the flying skills. Apply, do your homework and network... -

could someone help with flying and high blood pressure
Blood pressure meds are no big deal. You would rather have that under control yourself than have the FAA tell you whats right or wrong. Your AME will have the answers you need and if not your union may have a specialist on retainer that helps out in the medical arena. There are a few extra... -

Southwest PROFIT 1 QTR - BABY!!!!!!!!
I havent seen it in print yet but heard this week that we did indeed lock in some more hedges in the future. They were more expensive (heard in the low $60 a barrel range) but they want to know what they will have to work with down the road. -
J
Southwest PROFIT 1 QTR - BABY!!!!!!!!
That $131 million benefit that fuel hedges provided came from profits to start with since you pay for the hedges up front. Its all good and goes into the total equation which sets the ticket price to make an exceptable profit for the company to expand the operation and also for the shareholders... -

Delta Pilots
Then that regional Pilot would be labeled a SCAB for the rest of his/her career. Ask some of the United Pilots that SCABBED back in the 80's how life has been working there since then? Different bag room, the sound of crickets every time you walk into the room, your crew bag getting relieved in... -

SWA/ATA codeshare ending?
I know this is lame and shouldnt be an excuse but I believe that we once code shared with Iceland Air (dont know if we still do or not) and I think it was like one flight a week out of BWI many years ago. This code share stuff is new for us and I am not sure if this has ever been brought up... -
