Pfffffft. Whatever. When we do fly worldwide, it’ll be in a MAX with four stops between BWI & Prague. Know who you’re working for now and realize their resistance to change. Other than that….welcome.

Omg. Seriously?! 787s at SWA is about as likely as the current administration not gorging on spending your tax dollars.

He’s a 30+ year SWA veteran so I’ll let you take a guess on that.

strong rumor of Airbus 320/321 coming to fleet. apparently new management thinks "price is right" and is "laser focused on cost control" - every ULCC, LCC in the world is using the Airbus.

"why not the Airbus" was asked, and met with silence, at a recent HQ meeting. "show me the data, why not" - crickets in the room

I’ve had several long distance trips in a 787 as a passenger. Nice airplane. As for SWA, where the hell are we going to go with one? We are going to offer three cabin service? With meals?
