Swa atl ops

[Bill Nelson]

I heard today that nearly every one of our flights are going out full or oversold. Looks like the SWA brand is already a hit in the ATL.

Go SWA.

Mine was. -
And turns out ATL wasn't any harder to get in and out of today than 6 years ago -
And my captain had never been- he didn't even throw up out of nervousness before- cool cat, ya know.
36 min turn-
Not awful

Family trying to non-rev in and out...

No seats to be had.

Go SWA.

I read it was closer to 50% on most of the initial flights. The Holiday weekend probably helped fill the recent ones. What I read also said you were dropping 6 cities AT served, and decreasing total daily flights from 215 per day to 175. Regardless, welcome to ATL.

50% ?

Not even close. The pent up demand was more than we expected. I was in Denver when they were pulling non-revs for Atlanta that day.

Just repeating what I read. Maybe someone had friends watching? People saw GK get on a DL flight, so someone out there was paying attention. I bet this holiday weekend was packed for the both of us. Great news.

I'm sure the SWA operation will be a success in ATL. The product they offer is superior to any other airline.

Flew in there during first week, we had 40 in and 40 out.

Dropped cities are due to strong labor unions. I wouldn't brag about your lack of a strong union.

In fact, B. Williams was sitting on the floor in ATL waiting for his flight playing angry birds just yesterday.

You have to realize that passengers on SWA cannot connect on FL flights, due to no SOC. I'm sure these SWA flights will fill up as soon as we start code sharing.

Speaking of that, I guess my date of March 1 st. For SOC is not happening . Any news on when it will happen ?

 

[redflyer65]

I think we will still get SOC on March 1st. Then the flights and schedules can be connected.

You're kidding right?

Cattle car seating and peanuts?

Airtran has a far superior product.
That's why SW bought them.
