Plus that will never happen at SW. We fly for too many partners to setup a flow to one specific airline. I heard awhile back that we were close to getting a flow setup with United. I guess they decided that it was better to setup for XJT.

I do think that the 18 UA 175's, DL 175's (that will replace CPZ on the West Coast), and the movement of 700's to the AA operation in LA will see more flying shifted west. However, that doesn't mean IAH will vanish, might be harder to get for a newb. Likely not closed.

"Our reliability tracking system has identified you as having 5 or more absences within the last 12 months. Please review SP 3006.3 (Pilot Reliability Program) and construct a plan to prevent unnecessary absences. Our airline’s reliability and performance are reliant on a safe, healthy, and reliable work force.
If you are in need of assistance, please contact with your Chief Pilot. Often, Employee Assistant Programs (EAP), medical leaves (FMLA) or personal LOA’s are available to accommodate people in need. To apply for a Leave of Absence, go to: SWOL>My Stuff > Leave of Absence > New LOA Request Form.

At LXJT, we can call in unlimited if you bring a doctor's note on your next trip. Otherwise, we get a written warning on the 5th occurrence within the last twelve months. But it's nothing like this memo.
