You've just opened up what is a ridiculous thread from over two years ago just to make that irrelevant comment, this thread obviously should have been locked by now as after two years nothing has changed from the previous rumours started by this OP. Well, as long as it's re-opened... The B6 rumour ...
Jump to postLooked up the registration and saw that the Stars were the primary users of it, didn’t they have their own AC at one point in time?

Jump to postDallas The Dallas Stars have, at least in recent seasons, been using MLW Air's N762, N767MW , flown by an Atlas crew and under a "Giant" callsign. That being said, for their training camp trip to BOI, they chartered with SY . This may have just been due to N767MW being in-use by the Texas...
Jump to postHowever I don't think they have the same STOL package that DL has on their 737-700s so WN would take a payload hit, while I think the only limitations for DL is the one checked bag per passenger. It's not the lack of a "STOL Package"...keep in mind that WN's 737-700's operate like champs ...

Said before, will say again...while I won't be surprised to see a MAX -9 or -10 on the property at some point, I think we're going to see a different, larger type sooner than later.
Jump to postI'm hearing either Hawaii or announcement of intention to order/operate a larger aircraft (seriously, that rumor has really been picking up steam lately). Hawaii/ETOPS program announcement is more likely.

Unfortunately I've Heard Red Eyes and Hawaii been officially pushed to 2019. My well-placed source says ETOPS program will start early/mid-2018 with an entry into the Hawaii market in early late2018/early 2019. No workaround in the flight planning/aircraft routing system has been found to make red-...

Jump to postEven if the MAX-8 is mission capable with their seating capacity, I just can't see SWA flying Trans-Atlantic without a codeshare partner on the other side to feed to/from. The seemingly obvious match would be EZY, but neither airline is set up for such an operation at the moment.
Jump to postRE: Workaround...so pretty much the flight would have to land before 05:00 ET and if a flight got delayed, the entire system would have to hold until it lands? They must do something similar now for those severely delayed flights. I have no idea what the workaround would be...only that one may be i...
Jump to postI was wondering the same thing myself. If you look at other airlines like UA, roughly a third of the transcon flights are red eyes. WN could easily free up a plane or two's worth of flying by making one of the SAN/OAK/LAX-BWI flights a red eye. Even more if you look at flights into EWR, MCO, and AT...

I fully expect them to add some number of cities to maintain 100 total cities, even if it's a once daily international city, because they've been using the "100 cities" montra in their marketing since they added HAV. It may not mean anything at all, but I'm told by a colleague at WN that ...
