now THAT is funny.

as long as you think that, then it must be true.
i guess neutering is out of the question?

[QUOTE=TonyWilliams;891813]What would make the B737 glass panels go blank on the captain's side? What else did they lose? It doesn't sound like they were down to the ISFD. Was this not a glass panel plane?

I'm curious why ATC didn't handle the aircraft normally, if the FO's stuff was working. Did the crew yell, "pan, pan, pan"?

Lets see if this was not just SWA just trying to cut the line at the counter, again.

Capt's instruments go blank, my answer to the F/O - your aircraft, i am going for coffee. F/O's instruments working well, and they are on separate systems plus all the back up redundancy. What no MFD, no EICAS that has more than one function, what no standby instruments? What straight to ATC and sat this is SWA, one of my four instruments not working, need priority handling, want to cut the line.

Just like there new commercial, where can you only get those SWA prices, only at SWA .com, wonder why only there, hard to compare side by side without effort on your part with other airline prices.

This incident sounds like a total non event. It must have been a slow news day.

I don't care who you are, and mind you this concerns an airline whose shtick is we're funny and fun, but these jokes about do anything to be #1 are hilarious.

Gotta hate the new SWA commercial with the pilot dancing with the guitar down the street. I apologize to our profession, I didn't have anything to do with it.

FYI, SWA does not and has never sold tickets through third party vendors like Orbitz. In fact, SWA sued them for saying they advertised our lowest fares. If you really want to know why, look through the Unisys archive on losing control of pricing models when using a third party vendor. When United/Delta sells a block of tickets to these companies, they lose last-minute pricing power on their product. Good business.

Do you really think the dude playing the guitar is a real pilot or actor? And is that NYC or Chicago?

The Orbitz thing is probably so near equal in its pro's and con's that your justified not to do it or do it, either way it's a gamble.

What that video doesn't mention is that airplane was just taxiing out to the runway. :D

The guy playing the guitar in the current SWA commercial is a regular line guy based in MDW.

that girl is not only hot but she didn't even flinch when that 737 taxied by.
