"Red-eye flights. Southwest negotiated red-eye flying with its pilots in June 2012 but hasn’t been able to take advantage of these overnight flights to the East Coast and Midwest. Technology has been the chief culprit, Southwest’s managing director of business development, Dave Harvey, said in a recent interview. Dallas-based Southwest has large operations in Baltimore, Chicago, and Atlanta, which are likely to see new red-eye service from the West Coast."
Some in management appear to disagree, flyguy. Doesn't Amadeus reservation system come on line next month?
Schedules are built thru May or so of next year. The new Res system will be a gradual thing I'd imagine....they won't suddenly add red-eye flights....with the implementation schedule of the TA if it passes I don't see us doing any kind of true red-eye until next year at the earliest and not to the frequency of Spirit, F9, UAL, DL, AA, etc.
