Yeeeee-Haw! At least Lambourne won't be able to whine about preferential treatment...well at least until we start throwing pizza parties every day for the good folks in Iceland and Shanwick. Do the Irish like pizza?

Nah... they love corned beef from the Carnigie Deli, hagels and cream cheese from H & H and smoked salmon from Greengrassers

international rules require widebody aircraft and dual class? I think EOS was operating single class 757's, and nearly every major airline in the US flies 757's across the Atlantic.
What is unclear is whether or not the 1-2-3 rule will still apply in US dollars, or in local currency.

Southwest to buy Lynx. Fly the Q to B.C. via Billings, Bozeman, Spokane, Bellingham and Vancouver from Kden.

I know you guys are pilots, but none of those locations are in Europe or South America.

I can hear it how,
"Gaaaandear, Gaaaandear, So'west Triple One, we wantin' to make a po-sishun repor'. But instead is there any way we can get a shortcut off these thangs you call tracks. Maybe sumtin little farther down the road"
Wonder if they will start with service to Hull in the UK? Seems a like a great demographic for SWA.
Also, it will make the 123.45 conversations between the Russians a lesser of two evils.

Question is who will do the over the pond flying? I think it will go junior. Most SWA guys I know are former military, & they've done enough pond crossings to last them the rest of their lives!

As much as passengers dislike flying the B757 over the pond (they complain it's too small), it'll be nice to see how much they gravitate to something even smaller. Also, the markets to Europe out of Islip and Providence must be staggering.........
