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.

You do realize that IAH was bigger than it currently is before we ever started doing the Mexico flying? Half of the Houston flying is now done by crews flowing through. We will know in May, but anything before that is nothing but speculation.

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.

No joke. IAH is a pretty small base, most of the flying was done by other domiciles. They'd likely feel the hit harder than anyone in IAH. Well, that, and UA puts anything from 200's to 757-300's on some routes and who knows what the future holds.

So what's up with these intimidation emails about reliability?
Pack our schedules, don't let us drop trips then wonder why people call in?
Do any other places have these tactics or is this more "industry leading" from the "employer of choice"?
"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.
Sincerely,
**Chief Administration Office**"

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.

When non-rev on DL will they upgrade coach passengers (cabin oversold by two) or board non rev into open business seats (just enough to squeak on, but not if the oversold pax get bumped up)? It's an international flight.

Ugh. Another month, and this time I kept my bids pretty simple - only trying to get a certain 3 days off for a function I wanted to attend. I didn't complicate things by adding other parameters I JUST wanted those three days - Only to have a CN standup added in right over them. 
I don't know why I bother.

My experience is that they will put non-revs into the open FC on international flights. Domestic they will usually upgrade the frequent flyers to FC, but international you can usually get the seats up front. Makes the flight way better and is almost like a vacation in itself.
