My vote..... STL. SWA is in position to respond with their recent announcement of the pilot hiring freeze and the CCO statement their could be less than 45(?) deliveries from Boeing this year. That said, I pick a lot of wrong sides....my $0.02
Jump to postDo all suppliers still make NG parts? The military NG is not a standard NG. I would say it would take Boeing 2 years to get the NG going again. Not worth it… just my $0.02 As SXDFC has illustrated, they are pretty much standard, and then customized to the buyer specs. I’m sure Boeing could pump out...

Jump to postYou better have a good deal with a leasing company or 2 in order to get planes. It isn't like you can ask Airbus to make you a couple of extra planes and have them ready in less than 2 years. There may be a couple of birds available on the open market, but is it enough to sustain your business? Good...
Jump to postMy 2 cents... it popped open on landing... if it had happened at altitude, everything would have been frozen in the bin... like negative 60 degrees up there
Jump to postIMHO, I can't see the SWA load factor increasing as they are only taking delivery of 175 seat airplanes and retiring 143 seat aircraft.

Airbus, and it won't even be close in terms of timing. IMHO. I even think, with a small, but realistic chance, that this could be where Southwest will get off of the Boeing train. I have been wrong before....

Jump to postBoston is going to have two daily flights to Hawaii. Thanks for all the previous replies with links...and yeah, TWO nonstops from BOS? And DL's will be daily?

Jump to postDL added more Hawai'i flights ... BOS-HNL is new..added frequencies on SLC-HNL and SEA-HNL. ATL-OGG resumes

Jump to postnot worth it. And I don't see Breeze lasting, a redeye for O&D traffic on this route? Are they chasing the incentives for this route? Would it be $750k? https://www.flydenver.com/business-and-community/procurement/air-service-and-incentives/ $750K would be the fuel cost about 35-40 round trips ...
Jump to postAvelo looks like they are just throwing darts at a map ,,, trying to create traffic can work, but how long can they wait for routes to become profitable. If you have routes that are barely travelled now, will nonstops bring in the critical mass needed?? Good luck to Avelo.

Jump to postTo think that when SW receives their first MAX7 it could be over 8 years old as the first turns 6 years any day. Could this shorten the lifespan of the plane with SW?
Jump to postWhen I was at HNL yesterday, I saw 4 MAX9 for AS there. Are they inspected there, or are they waiting to be ferried back to the mainland?

Jump to postHubs don't work like that. So make it less of a hub and more of a large O&D focus city type station. Move the connecting traffic to BNA and STL. Isn't that what it is already?
