Southwest Flight Lines
Hello,
I'm a student pilot with a few hours. In my free time I like to play flight simulator and belong to a virtual "airline" based on Southwest. I was hoping that maybe a Southwest pilot could e-mail me with some flight lines out of the Oakland base to make my virtual flying a little bit more realistic. Hope to hear from someone soon.
Thanks,
av8r007

Have fun, but don't admit virtual airline flying to a real professional aviator.

Lol, yes I hate FS compared to real flying. Just doesn't have the same feel after landing real aircraft and it is pretty useless for practicing for the real deal. But if anyone could hook it up I would appreciate it. Rather "fly" based somewhat on realism as compared to just picking a city and going to it.
p.s. There's plenty of real professional pilots who play flight simulator. I know many, just no SW guys. Haha.

If you go to the southwest.com web site and go to the route map page, see link below:
Travel Guide - Southwest Airlines
All you have to do is hoover your computer mouse over the little orange dot next to the word "Oakland" and purple lines will connect Oakland to all the cities SWA serves out of that airport. I don't believe they are all non-stop flights, I am sure many flow through intermediate cities - that is just the way SWA does it.
There are plenty of purple lines, you should be busy for awhile.

Yeah, thank you. Not what I was looking for though. I'm looking for basically the pilot bid packages. A list of flight lines for a month.

It's not going to happen big guy.
That kind of information is company proprietary information. No one is going to risk getting fired to help make your video game more realistic.

Please, spare me the "proprietary information" crap. It's a basically a schedule we're talking about here. A list of flights that you get to bid on. Nobody wants to take the time to give me that info fine, but don't talk down and condescend me over a very simple and easy to fulfill request.
I worked at a major for a while and anybody with access to the company intranet can pull the bids up. There is nothing personally identifiable on them as it's just a list of fights for pilots to consider for their bids. Cool it Mr. company man.

I would suggest airliners.net. The guys over there may have specific rotation/pattern/trip builds and are all into the hobby stuff.
I don't think you'll find many here willing to divulge that information, at least publicly. We've worked hard to get these jobs and don't really share stuff that could get us a carpet dance or worse.
