Increased aircraft utilization. What is the downside for SWA or their customers? None.
-No downside for SWA corporate.
-No downside for customers.
-Possible downside for flight crew? But then again, they did sign updated contracts and hopefully there will be enough volunteers for night shifts that things won't become problematic.
Overall good news.
Surprised Hawaii isn't mentioned, as they haven't offered east-bounds beyond PHX, if I'm not mistaken.
Ben,
I’m a longtime reader and love the blog. However, the ads have gotten out of control and are ruining the experience. The latest ones pop back up repeatedly even after you’ve dismissed them, and dismissing them is very difficult because you have to hit exactly the right spot on a tiny X.
Please, please, please change this. It is sucking the otherwise significant joy out of reading your site.
Yours in despair,

So so true. Very irritating. We all know there needs to be advertising revenue but do it without the current interference. The pop up videos are so annoying. The guy isn't interested it seems. Additionally there is too much tabloid content appearing, and ages ago I suggested the bottom line section should be in bullet points. All ignored.
I dont understand where this frustration is coming from because i never see pop up ads on this site. Not a single one. And i dont use blockers of any sort. Maybe the internet just figured i'm not worth trying to sell anything to...
I don't see these and I'm in the UK as well. I get the video and the bar that pops up at the bottom of the screen but when viewing on laptop, iPhone or iPad it's all very readable and doesn't interfere.
