Anyone else notice that the flight time in type is missing from the rotations? What is up with that?

On another SWA note, look!, wow! SWA invented ordering pizza for passengers stuck on a plane!!! Who else but SWA could've thought that up?!
HEY FORT WORTH STAR, we've had Captains doing that on full 767s, much larger than 737-700s, using their own credit cards. So kiss off. :rolleyes:

What a bunch of morons. This has been going on for years at Coex too. :rolleyes:
The simple truth of the matter is that SWA managment actually uses their PR department to trumpet this "news." They have duped an entire country into believing that they are the lowest cost, most caring airline out there. They inundate the airwaves with commercials and flood news rooms with releases. When was the last time you saw a DL commercial? Do you think that our PR dept would go out of their way to play up the fact that some captain just fed an entire 767 because the company can't get their stuff in a pile? No one is going to toot the company's horn but the company, and they don't care to apparently. |

WHAT A BUNCH OF BULL. So much for any benefit for providing service for many years.....
Anyone care to guess who owns most of the land surrounding the new airport and thus who stands to benefit financially as businesses expand around the terminal? |

The truth is, as much as I want to complain about people getting duped by the SWA, is that eventually the legacy carriers will have to fight back, in the PR world and of course in our product, on the grounds that we are, better.
On another SWA note, look!, wow! SWA invented ordering pizza for passengers stuck on a plane!!! Who else but SWA could've thought that up?! Southwest orders pizza for passengers on diverted flight Fort Worth Star Telegram - May 24, 2010 By SHLACHTER & CO. On Tuesday, a Southwest Airlines flight was one of several diverted to the Pueblo, Colo., airport as storms battered Denver Airport... HEY FORT WORTH STAR, we've had Captains doing that on full 767s, much larger than 737-700s, using their own credit cards. So kiss off. :rolleyes: Every airline has a story (or 2) just like this. Talk to your PR dept. about pushing yours and don't act like the jealous, un-athletic sibling when your brother/sister hits a single during a T-ball game. |

May let some missioanry friends have passes, just don't want them to get stuck. The good news, though, is I heard he passed his Greenskeeper test... Nu |

Haven't looked closely in a while, but I never understood why they put the GT300. Why don't they just put the actual time if it's LESS then 300 hours?

May let some missioanry friends have passes, just don't want them to get stuck. We went there last fall and some friends used buddy passes there and back....sort of. All of us got to JNB just fine, in fact my family rode in Business Class both ways...sort of. Our friends made it there OK, but they had to buy last minute tickets to get home. Their flights left with 20-30 seats open while Delta chose freight over non-revs. Our flight home had 40-45 seats open, but they only put 6 non-revs on. They gave us a seat in coach even with seats available in Business Class. Just before door closing, an agent came to me and said we could move up after takeoff but not before due to CG issues. If I had to do it all over again, I would take my family on passes, but NO WAY would I take "buddies" over again. At least we can jump on KLM or someone else, the "buddies" don't have that luxury. I priced a ticket a couple of months ahead and I think it was $1500 or so from MSP-ATL-JNB. Our friends bought a one-way walk-up ticket for $1200 and they had to use some miles for that rate. |

Its not so much as an overload, as it is impossible, albeit improving, to put stuff together whether it is in the contract or flight ops.
My favorite is do you know where the alternate weather minimum chart is? The chart that will tell you whether to add 400 & 1 or 200 & 1/2? The FOM will specifically tell you to go to the AM, if you go to the AM you'll be hard pressed to find it under Ops Specs or Tables & Codes, rather its in the Jeppesen introduction section on pagbe 129-130... but its not indexed. How about this, what is a QRH for? To me, it is for nothing but emergency and abnormal checklists. But yet it is where you go to see how you should perform a runway/intersection change checklist, CB policy and deferred maintenance items, why? And why do I have to fish within a section for checklist deemed vital enough to memorize? Seriously, there needs to be a revamp and its probably well underway given the improving quality of materials coming out of flight ops and the training department, so I won't give any advice other than to say: An FOM should be all of the Delta Air Lines related material including section 3 of the AM, Vol 1 should be about flight procedures and take a chunk out of the QRH and put in Vol 1 including abnormal/emergency profiles, and the QRH needs the revamp that the SLI's say it needs. My guess, honestly, this will be corrected at some point. While we are at it, can we stop renaming things. Why can't the MEL be the MEL? |
