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.

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...uke:

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...

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.

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.

code share with west jet huh???

Don't you guys have SkyWest Rjs still flying for you in MKE? Has it stopped now? When?

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?

 

[redflyer65]

Over 800 airframes flying under the 'Delta Connection' brand, I think at one point it was close to 50%.

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.
