Thanks for the fleet update.

Well Just in case nobody else catches it.
By June 1 WN will have 78 total ETOPS aircraft.
That's A LOT of flying to Hawaii WN can unleash on this leisure travel environment.
Hawaiian and AlaskaAir can't be to thrilled about this.
If rumors are true that July will see additional Hawaii flights on top of the first June adds it's definitely going to get ugly in the Fare wars .

Enjoy or Don't

78 planes that’s insane what other Hawaii flying are they going to do ? The other airlines are in trouble for sure WN is coming for them I would imagine we will see even more destinations to Hawaii even if there less then daily ?

It doesn’t mean all 78 planes will be flying exclusively to the islands daily. Having a sizeable subfleet offers them a lot of flexibility.

Well as of right now pending the Wiring issues by July 1 WN will have 28 unassigned aircraft thanks to the rescheduled summer flight schedule.
Now will they add all these aircraft just for Hawaii
Flying? It's definitely possible since Hawaiian is hurting financially. Then for first time in over a century HNL has the most available gates space thanks to covid and Hawaiian moving into its new terminal very soon.

Pre MAX8 grounding Tom Nealon did say he could easily see them operating hourly service between Hawaii and California.

Oh I’m sure more is coming. But I do think the gate availability is overblown. HA won’t be in a hurry to move especially if it means opening more opportunities for WN.

Well WN is very political and they will have no problem with putting pressure on the HNL Airport authorities to get more space.
I'm sure they wouldn't think twice to tell the HNL airport authority if HA doesn't want to use the available space at the new Terminal they would gladly move in.

Do you think that southwest is purposely trying to pressure the other airlines in too lessen there flights to the island or they just want to be really big in Hawaii ?

Not sure on an official announcement but 8714 is sitting at C21 here in BNA with her ETOPS on the nose gear door and above the aft entry door showing so I’m going to take a wild guess it has been or is really close to being approved. Previously all of the intended ETOPS birds had them covered.

I don't think the labels on the NLG door mean they've gotten ETOPS approval. I remember seeing an -800 in 2016 or 2017 with ETOPS on the gear door. I'm pretty sure it only means it's ETOPS ready and has whatever equipment is necessary to be eligible for ETOPS certification.

Wnflyguy can you confirm they did get the etops today? I would assume they have it if the announcement of the new routes is still on for Monday

All I have heard was that today in HDQ they had a successful Post Round table flight debrief with the FAA.
I'm going to guess we will not hear anything from either WN or the FAA until Monday sometime.

Today the awarded Flight attendants bid lines posted on their work boards and several FB groups have been littered with all the new actual flights and times from LAX,LAS,PHX,SAN and LGB.

The cats definitely out of the bag just waiting on PaPa GK to officially announce we're keeping the cat.

That was prior to us actually attempting to get our approval. When we started attempting to achieve ETOPS approval on the -800s they covered all the ETOPS labels up and they were only uncovered after the approval. The MAX 8’s had the same exact thing happen to them when we started the program, they covered all the ETOPS labels up. With 8714 sporting uncovered labels I’m assuming if it hasn’t been approved yet it will be very shortly

The markings only tell us the aircraft are part of the ETOPS program, including the approval process. They were covered up years ago when they weren’t actively involved in ETOPS.

8714 carried the markings during the validation flight on Wednesday so they really don’t tell us much about where things are with approval.

Interesting to know they were covered in the interim. Also, not to break up the Hawaii discussion, but are some/most/all the -700s EOW? I'm assuming the -800s/Max8s are since they were delivered after the merger and Caribbean expansion, but I'm curious about the -700s, since they were delivered when EOW only would've mattered on flights to Florida from Texas and the Northeast, so I could see the airline forgoing the extra weight of the rafts and such circa 2005.

3x HNL, 2x OGG, 1x LIH, 1x KOA. Seems somewhat reasonable - just a guess though.

Not to mention LGB getting another daily flight so
That's 10 daily flights in the SoCal market.
Add SAN said to be going up to 5 or 6 daily flights also.
Then the 6 ish for LAS and PHX will also offer some connections to SoCal area that's a lot of seats to capture additional revenue.

And July and Aug are supposed to get additional peak seasonal flights.

Monday morning I'm definitely going to Have my Rapid rewards points and CC ready to snatch up at least 12 round trip tickets. Plus this time around WN flys cheaply inter Island so this 2 week vacation will definitely include some island hops. I'm going for paid tickets because Non Revenue gonna be hard this summer I'm going guess.

That’s how competition works... Force your competitors out. If WN can grab market share by slashing prices which force competitors to either cut fares or cut flights to a point WN can begin increasing its fare margin then I think WN will have achieved its ultimate goal.

Getting a flight will be the easy part. Getting a Hotel or even a rental car this summer? Not so much.

This. And with COVID restrictions/capacity limits it has been extremely difficult to go out to eat anywhere near both Waikiki and Ko Olina lately.

Perhaps by the end of June -
HNL 2X
OGG 3X
LIH 1X
KOA 1X

While all the chatter has been about Hawaii, will they finally start using ETOPS to SJU and the Caribbean? I know they don’t even use WATRS or GOMEX consistently.

If anyone wants to see the actual flights information one of the Southwest Friends FB groups has All
The Actual NEW flights posted on the page this morning. It's just a matter of WN releasing them officially for sale on Monday.
It's free PR so I'm sure HDQ isn't losing any sleep over the leakage since sale to fly date is under 30 days out.

Someone posted up-thread that the 4 ETOPS MAXs already approved would begin May 16th on existing Hawaii flights? Any idea when these changes will be loaded into the system? I’m flying KOA-HNL on the 17th so interested to see if my flight will now be on a MAX instead of a 738?

What specific Southwest Friends FB group are you referring to? The one I belong to has none of this info...

Well I honestly don't know what's going on everything on FB and even some post on A.net have seem to be deleted this morning???
Self deleted or was it by the WN media police??

Hopefully none of the WN fans internal or external are chastised to much. It's definitely been a Hard year dealing with COVID and the worst industry slump ever. If anyone's like me all the new cities adds, new Hawaii flights, MAX7 announcement it has been beyond awesome.

If it’s on Facebook already I don’t think it’s a huge deal.
