You crack me up. Don’t you think if it was a profitable route the airline would continue to fly it? Please stay out of anything related to management.

The Legacies can accept foreign currency as payment. SWA still can’t so Mexicans can’t use pesos to purchase tickets on us. Chalk it up to “tech debt”. How long has SWA been going south of the border? 5-6 years now? Pathetic....

I thought the new reservation system fixed that.

WHACKMASTER

Negative. It has not.

The reservation system can accept foreign currency but they can’t convert it to rapid rewards and other ancillary programs according to the network folks.

WHACKMASTER

Good to know. Thanks.

The new res system can take foreign currency. Our back end system cannot make it work. Therefore we left. That is the line that was fed to the Houston chief pilots who let us know when we asked. They said it is a work in progress and that we will look at going back once it is fixed. It doesn’t help that we do not have any network partners there to get folks from Mexico City to points beyond.
As someone who has flown there often, the loads are hit or miss. It can be super full going one way and totally empty going back. This and SJO are our attempts at “big boy” international that doesn’t rely on leisure travelers. Looks like we missed the mark in MEX. In SJO, Southwest has an actual ticket office and they have a workaround to take Costa Rican Colonies that the bank there exchanges to dollars. The loads there in my experience are generally pretty solid and are a good mix of Americans, expats, and Costa Rican folks. Like Mexico, the people who live there love that bags fly free since they can ship goods back and forth with them as they travel.

I sure wish you would quit and go somewhere else that would make you happy. You have to be just miserable to fly with. That and I’d move up a number.

WHACKMASTER

What?! And miss the chance to fly with you and keep you down a number? Never....


Do you disagree that this company is a joke when it comes to such things as not being able to process foreign currency FOR YEARS NOW, VNAV that is atrocious FOR YEARS NOW, WiFi that hasn’t worked properly FOR YEARS NOW, etc., etc., etc.?

I’m fairly sure we have flown together. And you did make me miserable.

You wanna talk about jokes? How was morale at your last airline? Or earnings?

You fly for the most profitable airline in history.

You already heard that we do accept foreign currency.

What’s your problem with VNAV? Fly the plane.

And wi-fi? Really? WTF do you care about WiFi as a crew member. And every airlines WiFi sucks.

Please do us all a favor and help solve the problems you have , or ****.

Signed, every SWA pilot
