Nothing other than the -800 and the 717.

Gary Kelly has said within a few years he envisions Europe out of Baltimore. You're not doing that in an -800 or 717. I wouldn't be surprised if we get 787's in 2015. The International Lease Finance Corporation is getting 74 of them starting in late 2014. Who are they for??? Things that make you go hmmm.

That "can't get IT to get our international stuff figured out" is probably a ruse to keep the two entities separate and continue the cost savings for aslong as possible.

Just like your signature line says.

Well, it is 100% IT right now in regards to intl flight planning, but it will be possible before too long. They are writing the code to allow the current system to plan intl and multi-fleet right now. The new flight planning system won't be deployed until 4Q12 (which will have all the bells and whistles needed for ETOPs, multi-fleet, etc), so they are retrofitting SWIFT with some fixes for the time being.

When they invent this magical device, perhaps they'll sell it to all of the other companies that are trapped on the mainland with only one fleet type.

It will be a miracle.

Nothing magical about computer code that allows a flight planning system to do something that it hadn't been designed to do when it was built nearly 20 years ago.

Pretty sure it's reservations limitations, after all, planes have flying to el Salvador for several years now.

What's the history with that anyway? I was told SWA has about 2000 IT employees to AirTrans 100. We farmed that stuff out. Was it because American owned Sabre or something?

 

[PCL_128]

I think it's about 1,000 IT employees.
