The mainland to Hawaii this week was a little different in the 737. We took a bit of a different route in the 737 this week. It was fun as always, even has some good sushi!
Hope you all enjoy it. Cheers!

Great video as always... I constantly look for Big Ern when I board...I sat next to a Captain on my flight home from Phoenix- asked if he knew Big Ern--lol -- he had his iPad and showed me the entire trip home from the pilots view...one of the best flights I've ever had!! I love SWA and their crew!

After flying the 737 for 7 years I can say it is hard to even think about going back after being in the airbus. Comfort on long flights is nice! We can fit 2 jumpseaters and all their bags up front which is nice, so no one gets left behind. However as a commuter you do what you got to do! If you’re on the second jumpseat of the 737 you hope your captain is not a spooner!

Love watching you in the 737. I instruct (mostly entertainment) in 737 SIM. Was wondering why on the ETOPS route back if something goes wrong past the "return point", why SFO is the destination instead of lets say LAX which seems a lot closer on your route. Maybe better maintenance there? But if the problem was bad enough, would you probably change that to LAX or even SAN which at least look closer on the iPad. Thanks and keep up the good work...

Big Ern.....Flew that back and forth on United when I had shore duty in the Navy and if I remember correct we made the HNL to LAX Block to Block in just over 3 hrs. one time........ it was those new 747's back in '72 this was a turn around run from Chicago and back... just a handful of people on the return and the landing was to the East ( not sure if they did that just for this flight 🤔) ........and we rolled right to the gate..... 10 years later I met the Capt. of this flight at our Flight school one Saturday.😁 small world.

@timgraymatter Жыл бұрын

I was hoping to see you earlier this week when I flew on Southwest to/from Phoenix, but I didn’t see you. Some other time maybe. There’s a gate agent in Phoenix named Scott. Before we boarded our flight from PHX to DEN, Scott sang Rocky Mountain High Colorado by John Denver over the PA system. Scott is an awesome singer!

I'm going to predict that the hotel used for the crews in Hawaii will be changed in the next couple of years. The multi year agreement would have been signed during the pandemic when the hotel could compromise on price for a guaranteed revenue stream. Now the hotel is likely in a position to not need the guaranteed revenue, in part because of Southwest bringing more tourists. Southwest will nudge another hotel partner to build a property in a nearby location that meets the terms of the labor contracts so they can lock in a lower long term price. It's just the way business works. Enjoy it while it lasts.
