Yes, well, some of us might be airline people who also be musical fans who have a particular attachment to a Wicked song that is quite appropriate. But I guess it would take somebody who was also seeing my updates on Twitter to catch that

Is there still time for one of the Insiders who knows who luvflyingswa is to send one up? It'll be interesting to see how that works, too.

So does this mean Wi-Fi is now on N901WN and N902WN?

I too have been using the new Wi-Fi on N902 currently in route to San Diego. I have been checking my corporate email through a VPN connection and have been surfing the internet with a great response time. I was even able to watch a few tv shows online and it has helped pass the time.

An awesome experience and can't wait to use this technology on all my future flights once we roll this out to our entire fleet.

Holy smokes. All of the lurking Employees are coming out of the woodwork. Who's next? Christi?

Welcome to FlyerTalk, OCF!

I think the answer to your question is yes, dwebb.

I think there are a lot of us on the plane, a bunch of Marketing is heading to San Diego for a meeting, I just didn't realize that so many of us were also watching FlyerTalk. Unfortunately, I think SWAVictor was on another flight so he missed out...

No idea about watching, but there are many of you registered.

And you said above that Mr. Kelly is on the maiden run, and he's performing great, too?

Darn, I got scooped! I should have known Luvflyingswa would have posted first

Despite everyone watching videos, the speed on here has been great! What a great surprise to get to be on this plane this morning! I also love the seatback card with the directions to connect. My seatmate had some trouble initially, but the card walked her right through the process!

And yes, 901 and 902 both have the radome and the service!

Exclamation Please, oh please, say there aren't phones

Mr. Hawkins says over on Blogsouthwest that there are phones... Wasn't the stake driven into that idea at least for the foreseeable future?

Please say it ain't true! ^
