I just read an e-mail from John that in part read: America West Chairman and Chief Executive Doug Parker and vice president Scott Kirby want more point-to-points in and out of California in place next year. America West applied with government agencies to fly nonstop between San Francisco and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Approval for that new service could come as soon as next month, said Kirby There's a big difference between requesting a foreign rout and actually getting it approved. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David MR" <damiross2@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "The Airline List" <AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 22:43 Subject: Re: [AIRLINE] Flying Nuts > From: "Alireza Alivandivafa" <DEmocrat2n@xxxxxxx> > > > In a message dated 12/8/03 10:19:54 PM Pacific Standard Time, > > damiross2@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: > > > > > What nonstop to Mexico out of SFO are you talking about.
