from a sr. CKAM, take it FWIW
said that if the mechanics don't pass their TA then Hawaii won't happen til next year sometime. We've been gearing up for it to happen this year.
So, that plus oil prices, bookings down, already overstaffed= 'let's slow down a bit and see what happens'

How would a ratified TA have any influence on certification?
Saying so implies that since they don’t have a ratified contract they are somehow not performing to standard, something that would have an affect on the entire operation and not just ETOPS.

Booking are off 18% to 28% depending whom you talk to. SWA attributed these number to the 737 PHL bad press and lawsuit. Add higher fuel to the equation and things aren't the best for SWA and 800 plus 737's right now. They've been lucky for a long time... I sure in the hell wouldn't bank on the Hawaii market to save the day. It's not that profitable.

I don’t know about all that. Pretty much every flight I’ve worked for the past few months have been packed.

SWA pulled ALL ads after the incident, which led to lower than normal bookings.
