Southwest 732's At Kbur
Do any of you recall if Southwest ever operated the now-retired 732's out of Burbank at any point?

RE: Southwest 732's At Kbur
Even prior to stage-III being the law of the land, Burbank along with most of the SoCal airports were quite noise sensitive and were heavens for types like the 733, MD80 and BAe146's during their early years of service opposed to noisier types like the B727.
I cant quite recall SWA 732s at Burbank, however I would think the carrier would schedule the quieter types if at all possible at Burbank.

I do recall the PSA 727's, but I'm pretty certain all I ever saw was 737-300s. As a point of fact, however, when LUV began flying to BUR there was still a higher balance of -200's than -300s.

Sure, I also recall PSA B727s, Alaska B727s, Western 732s, however all were converted pretty fast to other types such as the MD80 or B733 once those models were available.

RE: Southwest 732's At Kbur
We did run -200s into BUR, but tried to run -300s and -500s whenever possible due to the better weights afforded by those aircraft over the -200. This became easier as time went on, given the increasing numbers of -300s and -500s in the fleet.
As the number of -200s started to dwindle via retirements, they were basically pulled away from the west coast to the central time zones, and crewed out of fewer bases.
One California airport that never saw a SWA -200 was SNA, which wasn't in our Op Specs. We didn't even use SNA as an alternate.

I remember seeing the old Frontier 732's at BUR as well as Western's in the late 1970's. The 727's and DC-9's seemed to dominate back then.

I remember flying on a WN 732 into BUR about 8-10 years ago. I remember not having to de-plane. I think it was a stop in my flight between SJC and PHX. To this day, that was my only time at BUR.

swa would only use the -200 out of bur as a sub, as quite often, the -200 broke the decibles regulated by bur for noise ordances, and thus, higher fees would have to be paid by the airline. rarely would swa route a -200 through bur because of this, and was only done when a maintenance sub was necessary
RE: Southwest 732's At Kbur
Yes, SWA and AWA did operate 737-200's out of BUR, AWA being the last.
RE: Southwest 732's At Kbur
I must say, I didn't think about the noise levels.. KBUR has more NIMBY's than any airport I've been to in a long time (save perhaps Long Beach).

with that, ua even operated the 727-200 into bur out of den late before retirement of the a/c. the flight arrived early evening and then operated back to den at about 830am-9sih hour. i got bumped from an hp flight to phx back to arizona one early morning from their first bur-phx flight, and i was rebooked to phx on ua via den in first class, and it was on the 727 flight.

RE: Southwest 732's At Kbur
Yeah, and that fence chewed the hell out of that plane too. It was a sad day for the aircraft, but SWA patched it up and put it right beack where it belongs!

If you're referring to N668SW at BUR, it was written off...

he means, it was damaged beyond repair, after sitting on opposite side of field, the a/c was taken away, parts that could be saved were parted out, and swa wrote off the a/c

That is not what I was asking. I was asking what he meant by his statement about patching it up and putting it back where it belongs, which I am guessing means still flying. I pointed out that N668SW was W/O. It just looked l was asking OPNLguy what W/O means

He knows what written off means... When he said "what do you mean by that" it was in reference to the other guy's mentioning SWA fixing up the aircraft (which didn't happen)...

RE: Southwest 732's At Kbur
It was a joke eluding to the destination of that aircraft.. the scrapyard. It was buckled right down the middle, in addition to all of the wing and engine damage.

yeah i was looking forward to setting something up with the crew in msy when i planned the trip, i was still wanting to go thinking that, well, it's gonna rebuild, and we were a part of msy in the past, and we'll be a part of it in the future, so let's start now. we are all pilots and use msy as a midpoint in the country to meet once a year, it's our yearly gathering since going to erau in prc. i'll let you know when it's planned.

It is getting better all the time. They are still working on part of the C concourse, but generally the airport looks good. If only the restaurants were open past 5
