Default Finally International

Southwest to make first international flights as it takes over AirTran routes - baltimoresun.com

Ok now we AT 737 pilots can start going across the partition in numbers. 1 July anyway, although I hear there will be no training during the summer schedule.

SWA guys be careful careful careful flying into Mexico City (altitude, ATC directions) Aruba ( no RADAR, ATC directions, be prepared to fly procedure turn) bring your A game especially Mexico city.

Bid that Aruba layover!!

Good luck fly safe

It should be said that Punta Cana is on the Eastern side of Hispaniola.
Despite the Beach Boys song Kokomo you do not want to catch a glimpse of Port Au Prince. You will see it flying to Aruba from ATL however from FL370.

re. flying into Mexico City:

When you smell the stench, put out the flaps, and slow to maneuvering speed!

We already have that...... especially on the -300s.

I cringe when I see someone walk in there barefoot, which happens more often than you'd think!

Yes, the barefoot thing is real and disgusting. I have seen it on many a DHs.
