You are talking about God's fighter jet. How dare you?
Them boys at Alaska may fly the same airplane, but no way they can do it as good as we can.
We will be flying sorties in and out of Hickam...I mean HNL so fast it will make their head spin. Once we go oceanic we can just take a shortcut and bump the speed up a little and we should be fine! ETOPS, SCHMETOPS.

SWA Hawaii is going to be “industry leading”, just you watch! We took all those lessons learned and best practices from the legacy boys and put them in the stalls in Dallas for toilet paper. Then we hired a handful of F-16 guys who have never flown there and told them to approach this Hawaii thing like you are going to the moon. The result is going to bankrupt every other carrier and cause HAL to sell out to us for pennies on the dollar.



Damn it hurts when you snort coffee out of your nose. [emoji23]🤬

LMAO!!

Though there is some hope. From what I hear, there are several former Aloha and ATA guys involved in setting this thing up as well.

This thread deserves a throwback to the finest PA announcement ever delivered. His name is Hollywood and he will be succinct.

Or call YO-llegiant. They ran ETOPS (Engines-Turn-Or-Pax-Swim) on a shoestring.

Didn't go well.

What is despatch.....never heard that before. Or is your misspelling used to call out someone else's misspelling?
