SWA Growing

[SWA/FO]

Maybe your right... I'm very sad with my choices.

Is Aeromexico and Mexicana getting together? On (aeromexico) their website they are proud of their fleet. Mostly boeings. What gives with this rumor!

EWR and LGA??? Didn't think SWA wanted to fly to big airports (that are prone to delays)

We generally stay at the smaller airports. Except for LAX, PHX, LAS, STL (in the old days), DTW, DEN, IAD, and don't forget PHL...

Portions of the business model have changed since 9/11. There's money to be had in the big cities.

-BNA and MCI are pretty small, but remain my [unreliable] prediction. They still have quite a few flights in many directions, lots of RONs (esp MCI), and are centrally located.

I'm pretty sure BNA doesn't have many overnighters anymore. When I asked an ops agent not so long ago, he said we only have five originators there. Shoot, we've got twice that in ISP.

I've been hearing MCI bandied about lately. But I'm still guessing LAS. If so, fine by me...I'll be okay with no more overnights there.

Just heard today that we are getting 21 -700's from Mexicana and they are slated mainly for DAL and DEN growth.

Maybe my B.S. detector is MEL'd today but are you pulling our leg with this one or what???

I know this sounds crazy but I have heard SMF as the next base for
SWA

Im hearing Amarillo is our next base

Just heard today that we are getting 21 -700's from Mexicana and they are slated mainly for DAL and DEN growth.

Are you sure they are coming from Mexicana? Unless I am mistaken, Mexicana committed a few years back to Airbus for their narrow body needs. I've seen them with 727's...but never with 737's. Of course, we have all seen them flying the A-320 family for the past years.

Now, their biggest competitor, AeroMexico does have 737-700's ( with winglets). But that airplane is the backbone of their fleet.

SAN is going to be the next

Everyone is right, I say mini-domiciles: DEN, SLC, BNA, ISP, SAN, SEA, MCI, TPA, RDU...
