On the site, it says that they currently have 4 of these in their fleet. What routes are these flying? I'm about to make a LAS-ONT and it seems like most of these flights are on the 737-200's...have you any other routes? What are your opinions on them?

I know they fly them PHX-BUR and I think still PHX-LAX.
They are old, and show their age, but this was the first HP aircraft type so it'll be sad to see them go on a strictly nostalgic point of view. If you are a nostalgia buff, fly them while you can.

Strictly, indeed. They can't get rid of them fast enough as far as I'm concerned. It seems that every time I step onto one we have some minor maintenance issue arise that delays things just enough to be a hassle.

I for one am glad to see the 200 phased out, however the 300 should also go in my opinion. Just a few weeks ago I was on a 737-300 from LAS-LAX. I had just ran all the way from D terminal to A. I was understandably a little hot. Low and behold when I reached up to open up the vent there was none :mad:. Even soviet aircraft had a controllable vent! It was like a sweatlodge with wings. I was so thrilled to take off because it finally began to cool down.

the funny thing is most times its too cold on the plane except for when you are hot and then those vents cant put enought cold air out.
