The farthest that this routing goes offshore is about 40 NM at EMJAY.
The 50 mile rule that you are referring to is for aircraft without life vests. SWA now has life vests on all 448 of our aircraft and can fly up to 163 NM off shore except north of 35 deg. we are limited to 100 NM.
Have a great trip to MCO, it's about 85 degrees here today and thank you for flying Southwest. If your a revenue passenger, thanks for feeding my kids.

Thanks for the info.
It's supposed to "cool down" into the mid 70s tomorrow.
Yep, flying full fare. Didn't even want to consider stand-by as I understand that's a heavily traveled route and we really don't have a lot of schedule flexibility.
You can mention my name at dinner to your kids!
