ETOPS is a money hole for WN as the only thing that they are capable of doing is Hawaii, and there is no movement in that direction. Nothing in Central America, Caribbean, or South America requires ETOPS. The only international WN does is mgmt pilots down to SAL for heavy checks. They apparently stay at our hotel but somehow havent discovered the free beer in the concierge room.

My cell phone works in STT, so it's definitely the US still, haha.

No one seems to be referring to "Intl" or "ETOPS" in this thread but you.

You were a bit unclear in your post responding to Boogie, were you saying they had not done their first international flight? People that I know that work at WN keep calling SJU international, so I assumed you were saying so. My apologies if I put words in your mouth.
