But hypothetically if they did do it, 99.99% sure the assigned seats would only be for Euro flights not the whole system.

I'd also assume assigned seating would be a problem. The IT ar SW will hinder its growth more than anything else

But yeah....I'd think they're planning to rebuild the domestic frequency first. And then get the -7 routes figured out (if and when it's certified). Not even sure foreign currency is on the radar....they haven't been too worried about it the 7 yrs I've been here.

I showed your post to a SW friend of mine. He laughed and rolled his eyes. I told him your type is at AA and all the others, we all have them.

Pre-Covid the company indicated that it was much more focused on expanding to S. America than Europe and the MAX7 was the airplane to do that for hot & high airports like Quito, etc.
Sorry, I just can’t see Western Europe in our future anytime soon. Hell, we were kicked out of WATRS for dicking that up. Our IT is a joke. No assigned seating and can’t take foreign currency. Europe…..yeah, I don’t think so.

I’m just hoping the lines go back to pre-covid. This shoulder flying sucks. Every trip is exhausting lately.

It's not that simple at SWA. There's a lot of inertia moving against change. Too many making excuses for every/any thing wrong at SWA.
