Like now, there was plenty of "diversity" amongst the employees, but that was never mentioned, because we were all just PEOPLE working towards a common goal, which was to make SWA as profitable as possible.
Precisely. No one in the "real world" gives a flying rat's a** what other people look like, or identify as, or want to be called. The reason people get riled up about the whole DEI agenda is that time and resources are being spent to promote this stuff. Resources that could be applied to fixing actual problems in the operation, of which there are many. Now obviously getting rid of that department won't magically turn things around in the GO or on the line, but it's just another indication of the disconnect that exists between the GO and front line in terms of what is actually happening with/to this airline.

I think all we need is another VP. That'll fix everything.

Ok, that one was just weird. Like, who even made that connection, and have they never heard of a bulleted list? It's right there in PowerPoint on the freaking menu. It says "bullets or numbering".

Baffles the mind.

Which bases are ETOPS and what is the base lock for that?

I'd also like to start rumors of a HNL or OGG base, but it seems unlikely

OAK and LAX are ETOPS. LAS is split etops and non, but I suspect highly that it is headed towards total etops soon since the non etops bid group keeps shrinking. 6 month lock unless you have all of the ETOPS bases as your bottom bids.

I don't think a HNL base is totally out of the question, but I doubt it will be anytime soon. ETOPS flying as a percentage of total flying is shrinking right now because the west coast business market (big money) is surging.

Thank you, the inter island flying seems fun. A paradise version of the Texas Two-step
