SWA Plan Flights to Europe

Where did you hear this?

Rumor is repeated at ATA. I believe it will be replacing some B737 flights, while as adding some flights as well.

This is the whipsaw I was talking about.

A 767 replacing a 737, sounds like some expansion. I hope that they don't cut any of your flying as a result of this.

If there were ever a group of pilots that could be whipsawed, it is at ATA....

Any new news from SWA about Europe?

Zero. Don't expect any for a while.

Don't count out Jetblue-- They already have the quals!

We only have 1 hour ETOPS so trans-Atlantic is kinda tough with pax on board. I think the only outfit doing 2 hour ETOPS in an A320 are some folks in Australia.

There is no 1 hour ETOPS. That isn't Extended. 60 min is normal unless you mean 120 min ETOPS.

Yeah maybe that's it. In any case, there ain't enough land across the Atlantic unless you go way north along Canada, Greenland, Icleand, to Europe. That's not very economical.
