-Flying in Europe
But this is fact: Hiring was supposed to stop in July but it sounds like a class a week through the end of the year. Are they hiring now so they have plenty of people to lay off? I doubt it... Something is in the works for sure.
Flying to Mexico for SWA? Yeah, right....no way in hell thats gonna happen!!
SWA is successful because they have always stuck to their business plan, no way are they gonna change it now!
Corporate interiors? All 60 plus jets? Yeah right!!! Maybe 5-10 I can see, but no way are they gonna have enough business to convert 60+ jets!!!
Flying to Europe....come on, give us something that is at least realistic!!!
