I will say that the WiFi thing is kind of embarrassing and I’m surprised it doesn’t hurt our sales to business travelers. I’d be fuming as a pax on a 4+ hour flight when many of our 800’s (it seems) the WiFi is INOP.
I assume it’s tough for SWA to crack a foreign market because it must take a ton of advertising $$ to get someone to click on Southwest.com to buy a ticket when most other airlines have that part built in with all the travel sites.
As a consumer, I see these as hurdles. Maybe it’s not worth the investment right now, but sure hope the folks making those decisions invest at the right time to not adversely impact the bottom line.

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 ****.

No, I think like the rest of us, he or she is tired of listening to your nonsense. Like I said in another thread, you are known here and actual name. So very sad indeed...

Strange how he never addresses that quaint little aspect.
Looking forward to HI.

I hate scabs and their past actions just as much as everyone. That said, we had a lot smaller percentage of them than say Continental. Check your facts before you spew. Funny....you assume I’d defend what they did. I won’t. Not even close. Have been a strong unionist for the last two decades and worked as a committee chairman to promote and defend our profession.

I do fly the plane thank you very much. That doesn’t change the fact that our VNAV sucks and has for years. Yet the company can’t fix the software? SAD
No. Not every airline’s WiFi sucks. As a matter of fact....of those that I’ve used, all have been functional which is much more than can said for ours a large percentage of the time. It’s been YEARS now that it’s sucked and there seems to be no fix in sight. If I was a paying customer I’d be fuming. SAD
I’ll acknowledge the strengths of our airline but you and some others seem to have a difficult time acknowledging the weaknesses that have dragged on for years.

I’m sorry but are you challenged or something? We can’t process or accept (impotent for all practical purposes either way) foreign currency years after taking over the international routes of the previously acquired carrier. SAD
