Another feat that is somehow done by literally all of our competitors utilizing what I assume must be some sort of cray supercomputer with lots of reel to reel tapes.
Love when anybody asks about this in Dallas and they say they just haven't "switched it on" like they are playing some sort of 3D chess that we couldn't possibly understand.

Honest question, can one buy a ticket on us that originated in either Havana, or Cabo, to the U.S. and returns to south of the border? Or are our tickets only sold to flights originating in the U.S.?

They could theoretically operate from say Houston to San Jose, Costa Rica, and then on to Panama City, Panama under the 5th Freedom (picking up additional pax in Costa Rica)…
That might be a varsity level achievement for this rec league airline though.

No, this would violate ICAO 5th Freedom rights since SWA is based in neither Cuba or Mexico.

International thru-flights? Sounds right up this airline's alley.

Looking at the Network Planning docs for future departures and overnight AC on SWAlife clearly seems to make a stronger case for BNA over MCI and STL
Significantly more daily departures (more than ATL and almost double LAX), and more overnight AC than either MCI or STL. Hotel costs in BNA have been through the roof this summer as well, just last week I had an unscheduled overnight there and they put me at the Opry resort since all the hotels downtown and by the airport were sold out. If they care about pilot retention and hiring, BNA would help recruitment much more than a Missouri base. Although Blunt being put on the board of directors makes me think a Missouri base may happen anyways regardless of what makes the most sense
