@benbrooksny @MCCCANM He works for one of those carriers and drinks the kool aid hard I imagine.

@B787Cap @MCCCANM SWA had a higher margin than delta and united in the first quarter. That trend seems to be continuing. They are much better positioned to handle the fuel costs than DL and UA.

@InfantryPilot Maybe try to be nicer then? It’s not that hard. You might even make somebody’s day better.

[JD @utopilot_]

@InfantryPilot Nobody cares what you do or don’t do.

[JD @utopilot_]

@Eldrode @MCCCANM Fair, but I think that’s what people wanted. I am in the camp of having avoided SWA because they didn’t have assigned seating. Now I fly them more than half the time. Direct is always better, I don’t want a 2 hour layover in ATL or EWR.

[JD @utopilot_]

@Eldrode @MCCCANM Southwest is turning a profit again. It appears that you no longer buying their cheapest fare is not having a negative effect on their business.

[JD @utopilot_]

@MCCCANM Wrong. SWA had the best margin in the industry in Q1. Likely to continue building on that trend moving forward.

@MCCCANM @ATC_Guy99 Never call. The only thing that can possibly happen is you incriminating yourself on a recorded line. If you screwed up, ASAP and move on. Call Union for more guidance.

@JoeBeck84783193 @Stew767 @MCCCANM That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying in this specific situation, you’re wasting your time. Anybody who’s been in airline ops for 5+ years knows CS has never made sense, yet somehow it all works out in the end. We are not responsible for questioning every move they make.

@JoeBeck84783193 @Stew767 @MCCCANM Hawaii is not a remote location. There are at least 150 daily departures from Hawaii just to the US mainland. But since you’re so convinced, feel free to drop the FOM reference that says the CA or FO is responsible for the other pilot’s schedule.

[JD @utopilot_]

@JoeBeck84783193 @Stew767 @MCCCANM Still not the capitain’s responsibility. FO and captain are solely responsible for their own schedule and legalities. Scheduling is responsible for the bigger picture, which neither FO or CA can see. Do your job.

[JD @utopilot_]

@Stew767 @MCCCANM The captain is not responsible for nor has any authority over an FO’s schedule. Calling it out is a waste of energy and lack of understanding of how airline operations work.

[JD @utopilot_]

@MCCCANM Nothing says “professional” like letting your FO take you somewhere you don’t even know how you got to, then bashing them on X after. Great job “commanding” a go around. Does the FAA need to reach out to you again?

[JD @utopilot_]

@MCCCANM What does your FO’s statement have to do with using it? It sounds like he’s correct and you’re butthurt.

[JD @utopilot_]

@MCCCANM The vent itself has a filter

[JD @utopilot_]

@BuzzPatterson Buzz, you’re too old to safely fly. Go play golf.

[JD @utopilot_]

@BuzzPatterson You’re an idiot. All airlines are held to the same standard. Bigger doesn’t mean safer. And by the way, delta contracts maintenance in Mexico for heavy maintenance.

[JD @utopilot_]

@F1984Haz @iTripReport Right… still in development. Just like the CRJ450 they just developed backwards.
