Maybe somebody from Orange County or Burbank could shed some light on my question: Why do most of you all hate peanuts? Pretzels please, pretzels please. Is there a ban on peanuts in the OC or Hollywood that I don't know about? In 10 years of flying, I've never served more pretzels to any other destination than Orange County and Burbank. If you are all trying to be "healthy", here's an interesting tid bit of info: chomping on pretzels is like chomping on sugar! Peanuts have protein. Ding! I just changed most of your minds didn't I. 🙂 ... View more

From what it looks like, they have a very nice product with (what a concept) professional looking flight attendant uniforms and flip down video screens...and most likely, assigned seating.

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm sorry if this was already mentioned, but if we were to ever dream of flying our own planes over the borders, we would be required by the FAA to have a passenger manifest and assigned seating on that flight. The day we buy used DC10's or add a 2nd lavatory in the back of our 737s is the day we will offer assigned seating. It ain't gonna happen kids so give it up. I've come to the realization that I will never work an international flight of any kind at Southwest and I'm over hoping for it. But, I'd rather work 100% domestic flights with a bit of job security than wake up on a layover in Paris wondering if my airline is going to still be around. ... View more
