SWA to Me-he-ko?

You do not need assigned seats for intl flying, just a passenger manifest.

El Paso layovers won't compare with your upcoming Juarez layovers. Enjoy the donkeys!

Hey Burger,

Make sure if ya drink any of those margaritas you do not try to canoe after. Bad things happen I hear. Maybe now you can put "INTERNATIONAL TURBOJET PILOT" on your business card.

Inquiring minds want to know...

We've been going to Mexico forever at ExpressJet.

I don't know what the big deal is. I really don't like it there. But I guess it's a big deal for you guys at Southwest. You should be able to figure it out after a few classes about international ops.

Whatever floats your boat. LOL

Good point Pocono, cause after all, you figured it out, so how hard can it really be?

Keep up the good work.

It is a big deal, because it is a break from the norm. It represents a new era at SWA, International.

The growth prospects are huge. We will systematically kick everyones ass in mexico just like we have done for over 35 years here.

Should be fun.

International!!!!!! WOW Good for you. You guys will love dealing with the local authorities, communication with all of the fuelers, rampers, making nice with the airport commedante, immigrations, handling, customs paper work (which changes with the weather everytime you arrive), arranging transportation, negotiating hotels-cars-and fuel prices, trying to find a form of payment that aint cash, wonder what kind of fuel is really being pumped in to your plane, getting a flight plan filed, and getting weather and notams that aren't bogus. Oh, LOL thats right your airline pilots you don't worry about any of that sh!t! Enjoy the mexico flying......its like texas but with an accent and no taxiways! "line up and wait!"

Better be stable on those approaches to MEX and GDL, etc... - 500 AGL for you guys?
