Whats Tranny's Fragmentation Language?

I can't help but think that when this deal was announced Boeing or some leasing company wasn't on the phone 2 seconds later trying to get those 25 airframes up and running. We just got to get the SWA pilots trained up on them, since SL8 has any new aircraft going to thier side of the house..

800 domestic 2012 Etops January 2013. That is all I have heard.

The Mexicans don't even want them. Wow.

Yeah, that's right. Why don't you offer to go down and pick 'em up? Easy money.

I have a feeling you won't be missed.

You're the one with all the time on your hands... "with your part-time job and awesome 27 hour layovers"... You have plenty of time.

This thread is not a representation of negotiating in good faith at the table in Dallas. Whatever the reasoning behind this, let the crews do their thing in Dallas first.

I think they are in ATL. They are, I don't expect them to call me.

I have it on good authority (SWA Flight Management) that LUV is going to purchase an additional 25 717's. Hawaii flights start summer of 2012. 767's to Europe in next 5-6 years.

Count on it!

No chance at Hawaii next summer. The -800s don't arrive until March and too many things have to occur after it arrives that it would be a big deal if certification is done by the fall. Plus, they're not going to release a schedule (means they would have to plan to make that call by this Christmas) to HI for the summer unless they're 100% sure ETOPS certification will be complete by then and I just don't see that as likely.

Not to mention that our new flt planning system won't be rolled out until next summer and the current one isn't capable of ETOPS planning.

OK- bump it back a year then. HI in 2013. Europe in 2018. 717's all over the place.

SWA guys- Douglas built a great airplane. Last MD-11 was built 11 years ago and we are still buying them. Don't sell the airplane short!

I've around 5K hrs in the 717. It's a great, highly automated airplane with very uncomfortable seats. Oh, it's also frequently busted down somewhere.

Can a 6'2" dude get in and out without leaving forensic evidence in the form of hair and skin stuck to the overhead panel?

What you mean busted down?
