SWA needs to do Nassau. Can you imagine this?

SWA: Pindling twr, SWA 1 ready at holding position 1 runway 14.

Pindling Twr: Roger SWA, hold short Navajo on ten mile final.

SWA: Pindling twr, SWA 1 final traffic in sight, we can beat them.

Pindling TWR: Roger SWA, hold short, Banderantie traffic departing downfield.

SWA: Pindling Twr, SWA 1, what's our sequence?

Pindling Twr: SWA 1 number three.

SWA: Pindling Twr, where's our traffic?

Pindling Twr: SWA two B1900's and an Islander awaiting intersection takeoff. BamasAir Dash8 on seven mile final.

(ten mins pass during which numerous Piper Twins, BamasAir Dash's, and assorted island hoppers land and depart)

SWA: Pindling Twr, SWA 1, ready at the end.

Pindling Twr: Roger SWA, hold short BamasAir 737 fifteen mile final, then we let you go.

no SWA pilots were hurt in the making of this parody. just their sense of importance. Just like the rest of us who think that the islanders give a flip about our mainland rankings.

Pindling, My favorite Airport name Lyndon Pindling. Just rolls off your tongue.

click, we are working on ETOPS? If so, both fleet types? What time length. It'd be nice to get rid of the silly section of airspace in the atlantic we (190) have to avoid since we have a 20Kt slower MMO. Limits three L### routes we can't do.

I don't know, lately with the rash of Embraerisms I'd rather be closer to shore, not farther....
