WN is re-establishing its interview team. The team will need to be trained up.

WN is not currently interviewing or hiring, but one could reasonably expect that process to begin in the near future.
How near? Unknown, but I would expect they do not want to be the last to get started. Opinion only.

The company called all the interviewees who were promised a job right before Covid and told them to expect classes this fall.

The company is also putting interview teams together.

So, no SWA is not currently hiring.... but all indications are they will start very soon.

Because you can only fly to Omaha so many times in a week. You need gates and slots at some of the largest airports and organic growth can never get you what is already on lock down.

And that right there is the appeal of JBA….NYC & BOS. Huge markets with high yield. SWA has said that they’re not interested in buying something they can’t get organically. Well……

That said, they’re beating the same drum about NK that they were about AirTran. Specifically, that they’re really becoming a legitimate competitor so I can see them going after NK.

Now who’s going to take all those nice Airbuses off SWA’s hands?

I don’t see them wanting to buy anyone right now. 2-5 years? Maybe. For a good deal. I doubt they’d consider themselves in a financial position to buy anyone currently.

Agree. If anything they're spotting Avelo and if they go under, they'll snipe their tails for cheap.

Do you mean some of the largest airports like ORD, MIA, IAH, LAX, DEN, BOS and ATL? You’re right, we’ll never get there...

I read recently we sold some of our airplanes to Avelo last year...

Don’t forget SEA.

Come on DFW!

DFW not until 2025 or thereabout.

My memory tells me if WN were to operate out of DFW, it would have to vacate Love Field/DAL. And THAT is not going to happen.
Discuss.

I believe it would be gate for gate. Still not going to happen.

I was under the impression that all expired in 2025 or so.

Good luck to all the re-interviewees this week! Hope we all see each other in a class down the road.

It technically never expires, however, the provision for giving up one gate at DAL for every gate taken at DFW does starting in 2025. So, I would expect a Fall 2024 announcement of intent to serve DFW starting in early 2025. I would expect WN will want something substantial when they do start DFW. Probably 10-15 gates minimum at launch would be my guess.

Plus you’ll see McKinney added around the same time.
