That's fascinating Mick.
SWA does not fly any international routes, nor does it seem capable of successfully completing ETOPS certification. No, San Juan is not another country, despite what your flight ops managers think. The airline that flies your international routes for you has nicknamed "SWA (largest US Domestic airline)", 'The Flat Earth Society'.
Carry on.
JPJP, what a pri(k! Pronounced [
pr-ik]. Look it up in the DICK-tionary. The circular, spherical shape of both the sun and the moon are also strong indicators that the earth is also round. Speaking of which, this isn't my first rodeo, I've flown around it a few times ya wane-ker. San Juan may be U.S. territory, but flight to it is international genius! Been PIC to every continent, accept Antarctica. Something like 19,000 flight hours. Heavy's? Been there, done that ... ya drongo! :/
