Jump to postthey never had a GDS or IATA code. Contour had just picked up LF.
Jump to postbased on the posts about cell service & proof - i'm wondering if my post with a map showing the cell tower with 4G LTE service was deleted? But there's decent 4G LTE coverage in Pokhara.
Jump to postdo we know if it was windy or not? I bring this up as a frequent flyer to Skagway, Alaska, which has a VERY challenging approach when you do a solid 180* in a very tight canyon known for its winds- I know the pilots always keep airspeed high because of the gusts... example: stall speed on a Caravan ...
Jump to postAlaska Air & American have a tentative date to move over towards the end of March, 2023. At least that's what we were told by a big whig a few months ago.
Jump to postI was skeptical until someone explained it was a facebook live stream. But I still have some doubts, this specific airline has wifi on board? And it continues to work for some time even after the crash? The alternative is a connection to a mobile terrestrial network given the low altitude. Is the c...

Jump to postI think Alaska would have to get all the planes certified for all the approaches - do they have the HUD displays the 737s have? No HUDs in any of the Airbus fleet. Then I'm 99% certain that is why... you absolutely need RNP & HUDs for Juneau, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, and sometimes Sitka...

Jump to postThey can get 2 more Saabs from Jetstream Intl that are in good shape fairly fast. So think this is just a way to guarantee that.
I wonder if all passengers on Southern now get Alaska Airlines miles? or if its just flight-specific for the Mokulele brand in Hawai'i?
Are the A321s leaving sooner than that? I’m seeing a lot of conflicting information. Sounds like it could be earlier. If it is we will probably hear about it on the earnings call on Jan. 26 or possibly an investor update before then since that would be a material change that would among other thing...

Jump to posti thought Tmobile already had a deal in place with free access to GoGo on all flights. And Alaska's deal is anyone gets free messaging, not just Tmo.
Jump to postI'm not sure Southwest is going to be sending out millions upon millions of dollars in checks to passengers. My gut feeling is they will be in flight credits for anything OVER the value of the refunded ticket, which will go to the form of payment. The wording Southwest used was very much so open to ...

Jump to postNot every airport wants to be Part 139 certified... its not cheap.
Jump to postand almost every airport in the US has automated sortation, and the bar codes leave a paper trail (well, electronic). What I'm not sure of is how WN handles baggage transfers at its airports - ie - bag runners dump bags at every gate, send them to a sortation area/where the bar code is scanned, etc....

You guys must have gotten a better CS rep than my BIL did - she flatly REFUSED several times to book him on a flight from ABQ-LAX-SEA. He finally said screw it and went United thru DEN. He is a Gold.

Jump to postI just joked about this in the Eastern Airlines thread, but is there anything stopping Southwest from operating some wetleases from folks like Eastern, Atlas (thinking 747s) just to get people MOVING?

Jump to postSouthwest's cancellations are causing major issues throughout the entire US market - what little seats we had left are now all gone. I pray/hope that no one else has any more hiccups or its going to be a very very very challenging next few days.
Jump to postI don't really care what's been documented anecdotally here over the years. I spent a year and a half inside Southwest when we were selling them Altea. They're not as backwards as you think. It's just easier to blame IT out of laziness than accept the fact that someone made dumb operational decisio...

I bet all these Alaska Air cancellations are helping with the crews, since pilots time out after 1,000 hours a year. I heard a rumor that Alaska was going to have to cancel 1/2 of the 31st due to no pilots with legal hours. Where is your proof? Uh, want me to post private messages & texts from ...

Jump to post"Authorized" - as in authorized to sell I still don't understand. Please translate into layman's terms. In a normal day, let's say has 120 coach seats.

Jump to postIs KE41 really still sitting on the taxiway after landing?
Also Delta is getting flights out, so POS hasn't closed the airport.
I believe Alaska is aiming for 2pm to start trying to get arrivals in.
US airlines and airports miraculously figured out how to avoid the ultra hour waits from unloaded planes. Many on here appear to believe that the hefty outrageous fines the US law now assesses has little to do with that miracle. Because almost all gates in Canada are common-use, with some preferent...

Jump to postthe lack of mentioning US airlines has me wonder if transborder is still allowed... Sabre shows a handful of limted availability in the higher buckets - and Alaska is either 100% full or they've zero'd out their flights.
Jump to postRight, but you also don't tie your staff's hands to be able to rebook people. Alaska doesn't even have a mechanism for revenue standby unless you are G100 or G75K. Its one thing to take a plane that has 180 seats, booked to 120, and maybe take out 20 seats from authorized sale so you have wiggle ro...
Jump to postAnd, interestingly enough, all the AU's have been set back to aircraft capacity.
Its almost like someone at Alaska Air realized, oh wait, that's a BAD IDEA to cancel flights and have no where to send our customers except to our competitors!
the other night we had to get deiced, went from the N gates to the north pads, THEN taxid all the way south for our departure.
I thought Sea had deicing on the south end??

Too bad. They used to sell tickets to the public. Of course if they implement a partnership with AS ANC would make more sense. Who did the flights and what equipment was used? Air North and it was some sort of 737 variant. I don’t know if there would ever be enough cruise passengers but AS could ea...
