With traffic starting to return for all carriers. I was wondering if anyone has information about Hawaii. Southwest it seems has really got there foot in the door. As such the talk was always who would lose out. I have heard the Alaska has had some cuts. But with the rapid changing schedule are thes...
Jump to postThank you Enrilia! Seeing all these cuts (or lack of them) I will say that if there was only 1 major (US AA DL) flying, they would still have load factors in the 20-40% range. This is an unfortunate time for airlines. The cuts are not done yet. Southwest looks like they are cutting more flight on a ...
Jump to postAll airlines should have access to DAL. Its not fair to allow Southwest almost a monopoly. Other airports have been forced to make access for Southwest and other low cost airlines in the name of competition. Guess what.....it works both ways. You’re right, they should. However since the creation of...
Jump to postWhile WN already serves most of its domestic destinations nonstop from BWI, WN does have opportunities to add nonstop service to BUR, OMA, ONT, RNO, SNA, SFO, TUS, and TUL from BWI. WN also has opportunities to bring back BWI-GSP and BWI-LIT nonstop service. Will WN add any new domestic nonstop rou...
Jump to post[/quote]BWI-West Coast has been on a huge upswing in the last few years. With NK pulling out of BWI-OAK in October, that opens the door for BWI-SFO, and I'm positive (based off 6 daily BWI-LAX flights on 4 airlines) there would be sufficient support for BWI-BUR/ONT.[/quote] I cannot find the other 2...
Jump to postThe LF numbers don’t seem that bad. It’s doesnt tell the whole story. But they are better than I was expecting. It will be interesting to take a look at it again in a year when the new added flights will be included. AA, B6 and WN all adding S. Florida to Cuba. I expect to see a decline in LF. I don...
Jump to postWith the new slot awards out and everyone wanting to delay the start of service, what’s going on? Obviously the markets are not as strong as expected. Also with Trump adding back most restrictions it is making US-CUBA a little harder than the airlines expected. Are there any numbers out that might s...
Jump to postAt least the are all consistent with the request in delaying service.
Jump to postThe DOT should tell AA and anyone else wanting to reduce service to smaller planes than they promised, that the must rebid for those slots along with anyone else. I am sure that WN or B6 would like more slots, although both are likely losing money on the routes. They would also run the flights with ...
Jump to postAfter reading through 7 pages of WN to Hawaii I wanted to make a comment. Will WN fly inter-island? Probably. For those who may know, how much time on the ground would be needed to have the engines cool properly? 30 min? 40 min? 50 min? From what I have seen of WN the -800s turn time is around 45-60...
Jump to postI didn’t read through every reply. I do agree with most here that Delta did handle it professionally. But PR wise I think it was handled poorly. Yes probably the flight were sold out. As a few have said Delta could have replied “Check with us at the airport and we will see what we can do”. Then Delt...

Jump to postI have come to the realization that WN fanatics will never truly be satisfied until WN flies to Hawaii. I think the big reason is because Gary Kelly was quoted back in about 2010 that Southwest would gontpnHawaii as soon as they received the 800s. Then it seems there was an excuse every year and AS...
Jump to postI am still of the opinion #6 of what you listed had to do with the first MAX delivery. It is quite possible Agree that the Hawaii market is saturated at the present time, so if WN does start service my expectation would be no more that two flights per day - early and late -, 2 or 3 times per week, ...
Jump to postWell I have been hearing many things from WN people. Also with things posted here. With this information I have come up will a Hawaii service theory. Please keep in mind this information is put together using mostly rumors I have heard from WN people, things I have seen and things I have read. I kno...
Jump to postNo way on HI...not enough MAX a/c coming in to fleet...WN postponed delivery of 25-30 MAX from 2018/19 to like around 2021/22 last year...

Jump to postI think some of what WN is doing in the Nov-Feb schedules is affected by the loss of ~30 737-300s. True not all of it is attributed to this event but I am sure at least some part of the schedule is because of the -300s. Let's see what happens to some of those markets once the a/c count come back up ...

Jump to postAlso some one correct me if I am wrong but DL, AA, and UA still have a lot of loses they are still writing down, which is inflating their earnings somewhat.

Jump to postIt would not surprise me to see WN request for 10 slot pairs. Although I don't think it will happen I can also see them asking for the JFK slots. B6,AS and maybe Spirit will ask for mex slots. Don't see any others asking.

I believe that they have a/c capacity. They are getting used -700 to cover most of the -300. This should continue until Sept 30th when all remaining -300 will be removed. As far as the schedule I am always hoping for a lot of new things but I think this will be just like the rest. Big hype and littl...

I have heard from several inside WN that there are plans to add more flights to CUN and MEX. These sources say they have already been requested. I have searched the DOT web site. I am not very good in searching this type of information. I could not find anything about requests. The rumor says they w...
Jump to postI wasn't really shocked they messed up their Mexico govt approvals. All this type of stuff just falls outside WN's core competence. Well maybe you should be surprised. It was the Mexican government holding things up. Not only was it WN service but AA from MIA. The US government had to step in, once...
