Allegaint buys 6 757s for Hawaii service, SWA adds 3 flights to LBB...?

[CaptSeth]

It would be highly unusual for the FAA to grant 180 ETOPS for a new operator of a type right out of the box. Actually, unprecedented. HA bought brand new 767's so that they could get the approval "out of the box." Allegiant will likely have to operate them domestically for a period until they have the operational experience.

If they can find some former ATA people to help bring it online and get up to speed, they may have a shot by next winter.

Sun Country just went straight to 180 etopps on their 737's. Getting fed approval takes a long, long time.

Good point, for them to quickly get ETOPS approval with no experience in type and no International experience would be a little suspicious.

If they are politically well connected it will happen when Alegent desires it to happen.

Not to worry, Barry Obama will make it happen.... Barry will get involved. Just like everything else, he will level the playing field for all (this includes taxing the semi-wealthy or upper-middle class until they become middle class). With Socialist Barry, anything is possible regardless of whether it is right or wrong...

And don't worry - addressing the high unemployment rate (and thus improving revenue opportunities for our industry via increased high-yield business travel) is still on his list of to-do's (although it is currently #6 on the list). Thanks to all who voted for Socialism...

Barry dont like Vegas, Barry hates Vegas, he slams it everytime he goes off prompter. "Ya'all cant just be runnin off to Vegas when ever you want"?? Nope Barry wont be pushin no 180 for Vegas flights.
SEIU maybe, Barrys big backers might have some say.

Sometimes the truth hurts. Huge percentage of airline pilots voted for Mr. Socialist due to his union ties. Now our economy is in the $hitter due to his total lack of attention to our collective economic concerns and his grandiose plans. How will Cap & Trade positively impact our current job situation? Why did the Cap & Trade issue supercede job creation when unemployment was at historic levels? Does that make sense to you?

Hey Smarta$$, welcome to the United States of France. I didn't vote for him. Thanks to you and others for helping to $crew over our country and add to a national debt load that will ultimately cost our grandchildren big bucks. Just think about it next time you vote... Unless you like Socialism...

Back to our regular programming...

Please buy a subscription to The Wall Street Journal and at least become familiar with some facts before subjecting the rest of us to your witless rants.

You're welcome though.
