They can barely convert Hawaiian currency to the US dollar.


I am sure we have a VP of Hawaiian currency and US dollar exchange.

AirTran's ad agency absolutely nailed it:

WiFi in every flight and that was 13 years ago. We still can’t pull it off lol.

Starting to think we would have all been better off if the purchase went the other way.

Thats why every time someone dredges up the old rumor about WN buying JetBlue I can’t shake the feeling that WN would ruin one of the best airline products in the US, both main cabin AND Mint.

Wifi that actually worked. GoGo and I used to get the monthly subscription. It worked flawlessly.

this no wifi is getting to be a safety issue.
Was coming into DEN the other night. Massive storms and reroutes and new arrivals constantly. We couldn't get the big picture of what arrival etc would work better because no wifi. So we were at the mercy of DEN center and radar.
in a fuel situation and the indecision of center etc we had bo idea if their plan would work and thusly couldn't be confident in our diversion plan.
it was getting to the point of just diverting so we knew we could make it to the alternate before we had no options.
With wifi satellite radar we would have had a way better idea of what's going on.

Amen. Especially since now dispatch simply files you right through wx and not around, a big picture on your iPad is vital.

Obviously not, but some of the ludicrous $h!t I’ve seen lately as far as filing right through a line of wx will make you shake your head and facepalm. Oh well, diverts and go around spay better.

Look at ORD right now. It’s a goat rope trying to get out of here.
