I can't post the link from Yahoo business, but is that an International code-share? I thought that wasn't going to happen? I am pretty sure those Airtran guys could handle the Mexico flights, they do it now.

Dude-I'm sorry kernal maverick- it's Cinco de mayo- get drunk, get off the wall and dance some Latin sh/t & get laid- stop worrying about us and get your DOMESTIC codeshared under control--- but do it in the morning... Or afternoon if you're lucky...

Sounds like you are actually on drugs. I thought Mother Gup said Southwest wasn't going to have any codeshares? Looks like that may not be the case. Don't you guys have SkyWest Rjs still flying for you in MKE? Has it stopped now? When? When will you start codesharing to Canada? Just let the Airtran guys do it, they can handle it.

Why don't you take a look at SL 8 of the SWAPA CBA? All future growth will be on the SWA side not AT.

That's some funny crap! I like learning Airline inner workings from a guy with little Airline experience. I have more time on vacation at the Airlines than OYS has on line.

Give it up kernal...:puke:
 
Southwest pilots have just recently learned how to use vnav. How can they expected to fly internationally? Good thing Air Tran is there to help them. Besides, they're too busy trying to figure out how to stop going off the end of runways!
 
OYS,

I found the article about it for you.

DALLAS (AP) -- Southwest Airlines Co. said Thursday it more than doubled the number of cities from which its passengers can connect to Mexico-bound flights on partner Volaris.

Last year Southwest and Volaris started selling seats on some of each other's flights, a common arrangement in the airline business. Southwest customers can book travel to Mexico even though Southwest planes currently don't fly to Mexico. Volaris does the cross-border flying.
Southwest, based in Dallas, said passengers in more than 46 cities it serves can get to Guadalajara, Mexico, through Chicago's Midway Airport or Las Vegas, with the last leg on Volaris planes.

So wait, you are making fun of the fact that OYS was furloughed for so long? You have more vacation time than he has "airline time", because he was furloughed? Nice. I think he said he was flying corporate in between his last airline job and his current one, but that doesn't count, to you. I hope the SLI via arbitrators allows you more time in the right seat to think about that. It probably will. Watch out Airtran pilots, re-read this guy's post. This is your future FO.

General, they're not increasing the number of Volaris FLIGHTS, only the number of cities that connect into the existing Volaris Codeshare network.

Not a bad move, increase demand for the product while they ramp up their ability to fly it themselves, then take over when the loads are full, all without increasing the NUMBER of codeshare flights.

Not much to see here...

And if you believe SL8, I have some ocean front property in Arizona for sale.

Good luck living your pipe dream corndogs. The world changed when Gary bought AAI, codeshared with Westjet and Volaris. SWA is just another legacy. Get use to it.

Air Tran has their own operating certificate and ops specs, thus they are not flying as Southwest. A single op cert won't occur until 1Q 2012 (probably).

My rep told me with the new schedule it amounts to about 1% of our ASM's. How much of Delta flying is done by Delta? I think it is around 40%.

So what was your point?
 
Jeez, this is F**cking ridiculous! If you listen real closely you'll hear the distinct sound of nobody giving a SH!T! Code share this , code share that, we're better then you....blah blah blah. Give it a rest for a few days.
 
I care. I will never vote yes to allow some other pilot to fly a Southwest passenger.

But that's just me.

True enough! But if by posting here I/we/us can educate other FI members about the hazards of un-checked codeshare then it will be a good thing.

You have some knuckleheads from your camp that would love nothing better to keep AirTran separate and fly YOUR passengers. Educate them, please.......
