SWA Plans Adding 25 International Flights from FLL

[General Lee]

Nope.

As usual, outside of reprinting news articles, there is little to no truth in any of the crap you post.

Struck a nerve? Yup. We'll see how it goes, but there was NO reason any management should get in between two pilot groups during an SLI and side with one side. That causes disloyalty forever on the other side. Just not smart.... And of course Bubba won't acknowledge the blunder....

Any truth to the above Bubba? Hmmm.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Hate to say this but you contribute to this by answering him every time he post something. Please stop quoting him so the ones that have him on the ignore list do not have to see what he says. He/she will go away if you stop answering him.

DL pay rates and benefits have rebounded to now be higher than yours at the end of this current contract.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Dear Window Licker,

You can't even get your own pay rates to rebound back to 13 years ago. Call back when you find the year 2000 and your old contract.

Kisses,

Dicko

25 flights to ? Where is SWA going to fly? International routes have to be awarded.

Smacks of arrogance to me. No testing the waters for SWA, they expect a full schedule of whatever routes they want right out of the gate.

I don't see what the big deal is. What does "testing the waters" mean?

It's the Caribbean, not the moon.

Yeah, it's the Caribbean, but an airline still has to demonstrate some discipline. Often too an airline has to start with a limited number if routes and build up the operation.

Not too many years ago, a Venezuelan carrier lost it's authorization to fly into the US. Operationally they were not sound, at least that was the reasoning. Venezuela turned around and shut out CAL and AA immediately. US officials drug the Venezuelans thru a mile of crap before the reciprocal agreement was restored. It got to the point AA stepped in and helped Venezuelan carrier. We have all now learned that SWA can't manage to formulate an ETOPS program. If what most carriers have to do to be awarded routes like this is applied to SWA, are they going to pass? Is SWA going to jeopardize bi lateral agreements for all US airlines? Is United, American or Delta going to have to step in and assist SWA? Or do we lower the standards?

When SWA put out a list of possible destinations out of Hobby it was clear they knew the highest revenue routes. 1, 2, 3 were each the best money makers, but have they considered at all *how* to get there? Hobby terminal is being built and the routes aren't even announced. It's almost time to start selling the tickets... Something is up.

What are you talking about? The new terminal won't be finished until late 2015. I think they've got plenty of time.

Some plans can't be written on a napkin

Wow Flop. Could you be anymore dramatic? I seriously wonder how we get planes off the ground everyday after reading your BS.
