Heard their sammiches are good

Even better: coffee, picadillo (dish made with ground beef), ropa viejo (made with shredded beef), fried plantains, yucca, roast pork, black beans......

Of course, that's my experience in the US, with US ingredients.

Any Cuban American pilots in UAL?

Yes............

We used to have a small "mafia" of them based in MIA if I remember.

So we get 8 weekly flights to Cuba and SWA gets 42.

Makes total sense.

We only asked for 10. It's not like these slots are LHR rush hour landing slots. Its Havana.

Seems like IAD would be a good launch point too?

Continental used to fly to Havanna. I recall it was an IAH 737 based trip but it staged out of Miami.
