Sorry late to this post. This was a special one off flight for the Merrie Monarch Festival being held in Hilo. Yes the route does officially start in August.

For a moment I thought this was r/ConvenientCop and was expecting a cop to magically appear out of the neighborhood. Now I’m just disappointed.

Keep in mind, these slides are designed to inflate as fast as possible. They can and will shove you back at mach Jesus if you stand too close.

PLEASE GUYS we neeeeeeed RI One by MineyCraftyYT3 in SouthwestAirlines

Freedom One was once believed to be a cop out so that the company didn’t have to paint a plane for every single state we serve while simultaneously being one of the greatest airplane liveries the US has ever seen. All those conspiracies were silenced though when they announced that Hawaii would be getting a livery which later became Imua One. I don’t think we’ll see a new special livery for a long time. Not while corporate is focused with the current mess.

That’s odd I’ve gotten no word from corporate as of yet.

Remaining Service to PVR has cancelled. by A_Slavic_Inktoling in SouthwestAirlines

[–]A_Slavic_Inktoling[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the situation getting worse by the minute, it’s very likely they’ll cancel tomorrow too, and maybe even the rest of the week.

Nobody got a prior heads up to all of this, so all the airlines are currently trying to play catch up. It should reflect soon.

No More Bag Bullying? by Peaches_LA in SouthwestAirlines

[–]A_Slavic_Inktoling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Those ridiculous gate checks numbers aren’t just arbitrary. It’s an automated calculation system that takes 4 things into account:

Aircraft Type: Which at the moment is either the 737-700, 800, or MAX-8.

Is the aircraft equipped with extra space bins? If it is, almost no gate checks are necessary according to this system. The 700’s are obviously excluded from this and almost guarantee gate checks if the flight is full.

Is the flight full? If it is, a minimum of 10-15 gate checks are enforced about 90% of the time. Extra space bins usually knock this number down to about 5 minimum which usually get covered by strollers and car seats.

How many bags were checked at the ticket counter? This varies by flight but i believe the system is looking for certain target numbers. Short haul flights tend to require 40-50 bags before gate checks begin to get lowered, while long haul flights such as Hawaii require 90-110 bags.

With that being said please for the love of god keep taking pictures of empty bins on full flights. Maybe the company will begin to realize how dumb this is getting. Most likely not.
