The widebody aircraft and International markets are being developed even as we type. It's called ATA.
How did that press release read? "Extensive international network on the East and West Coast."
Good point.
Gary Kelly is holding his cards close, as he should.
There are competing demands here. ATA is a good fit for SWA to codeshare for international. I anticipate the codeshares to last as long as currently agreed upon, maybe longer. But it should continue only as long as it remains low frequency. The pilots union wants to that flying really bad. SWAPA may even fight for it to be covered by SWA pilots sooner rather than later....I hope cooler heads prevail.
My question is...How can SWA do it, efficiently, if we don't get a "super" 737 in 4 years with a common type with the 300/500/700???
And lets face it, SWA needs that efficiency to keep paying high pilot wages. You can't get something for nothing.
