Southwest doubles partnership with Volaris to Mexico?

[Double Shot]

code share with west jet huh???

 

[SKC]

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).

OYS,

I found the article about it for you.


On Thursday May 5, 2011, 5:27 pm EDT
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.

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?

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.

I care. I will never vote yes to allow some other pilot to fly a Southwest passenger.

But that's just me.

with respect gup, I'm sure you won't be doing any future scope voting on flightinfo.

 

[GuppyWN]

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.......
