Southwest has said that it would end this year with 707 planes.
No ETOPS required. |

Yes but there is no way they would discontinue the 737. So the old fleet wouldn't go away if sw got a different type. Which they will. I bet a beer on it.

I’d bet a bottle of high end liquor that we will be the launch customer or at least one of the first customers for the B797. That airplane has our name written all over it considering our anticipated route structure in the middle of the next decade.

Then once we take possession of this bird, we'll do a DL course for the differences which will tell us we're still gonna be setting speed before selecting VNAV at 3000 AGL, setting zeros, etc. And upon completion of the said DL, our base coordinators will have our new ATP's with B-797 added to it ready to be picked up before our next flight. Easy-peasy! :D |

It's gonna have to be the same type rating... kinda like 757/767, except the roller shades will be taken off, the printers will be installed in only a few select aircraft. The overhead will have to remain the same as the NG/MAX (i.e. like the -300), and the cabin temperature control will have to still remain firmly under cockpit's control with no possibility to pass it to the cabin.

and one windshield wiper control will need to be removed. And we will need to corner the market on tiny bungee cords to hold the cockpit door open by attaching it to the lavatory door.

More to be concerned about
Our competition
Alaska Airlines has launched a new nonstop service connecting California's Bay Area with Hawaii's Big Island. The airline's new daily service between San Francisco International Airport and Kailua-Kona International Airport started on Thursday. The SeaTac-based carrier said the new route is part of the largest network expansion in its 85-year history and solidifies Alaska as the leading airline of nonstop flights from the West Coast to Hawaii. |

Well I guess Delta sent them out of Seattle with their tail between their legs. Not saying Alaska isn’t a threat but I think there is more to Hawaii than what was announced. |
