Just. A. Job.

I've worked for 9 airlines. They're all the same. You talk about the same crap. Everybody buys everybody else an adult beverage from time to time. Everybody thinks they're the best. And they're not. They are all. The. Same.

PS - I miss hub turn sits. That was when I liked to sit down and have lunch at an actual TABLE and maybe even take a poop in a porcelain toilet!

Lots of people already do what we are trying to do. That’s what I was getting at. It isn’t going to the moon even though swa will treat it that way.
How many are using a single class configuration -800 or -900 to PHNL?

ATA flew -800’s with 175 seats if I’m not mistaken.

Can hit Europe from Boston in the Max.

Prob a given. Wouldn’t necessarily need ETOPS for going South I don’t think.

Was anything mentioned about LAX base during the party?

Rumor around the campfire' was that it was supposed to be mentioned.

No. No mention of any new bases. It will happen sooner or later. Over 1,000 new hires next year to pile on top of the 900 or so this year. The Houston pilot inbox expansion jury rig is starting to look ridiculous.
I wouldn’t bank on LAX, but I wouldn’t count it out either. Swa spends a fortune on hotel rooms there.

No kidding.

Number 8 for me, and while in the big scheme of things, flying for SWA is a great job, it is still a J.O.B., warts and all.
