Mesa Gateway would be a great airport as well.

Thank you for sharing Big Ern. Have fun in Vegas 👍

Great info, Ern. Thanks for sharing.

Love JSX! Great flying experience.

I fly JSX from John Wayne to Vegas and I will never fly another airline for this trip. The staff is extremely professional and I will pay more for convenience anytime. Time is money and I save so much time flying JSX.

My DAL to LAS round trip on JSX was simply outstanding. No TSA, no waiting forever for your checked bags, no crowded terminals. Next best thing to NetJets. Cheers 🥂

To me that looks like a great option for passengers that don't mind paying a little more for a better experience. The price looks comparable to a premium economy fare on a major airline. I would definitely try it if they ever come to my neck of the woods in New Orleans.

Great review, Ernie.

I think it’s a neat niche. A Captain friend of mine has a wife who has been flying an RJ for a regional for 20+ years. Loves it, home every night. The ultra low cost Allegiant is another carrier that hits the really small airports and the crews get home every night. A lot of our friends locally love flying out of Rockford or Bloomington IL. They just don’t want to deal with Chicago. That goes along with how the airline of luv came in to its own, by not doing exactly what everyone else is doing, and expecting better results. They created several niche characteristics unique to their brand. It wasn’t a stroke of genius on my part that I ended up there. In those days, you went where you were hired. Although, I will say that the aviators I interviewed with were all from legacy carriers, and they were very arrogant towards me, and I responded with all smiles and nothing but respect, and that was in fact why I was hired and they weren’t. So I did have something to do with my luck. Very nice video.

Saw your video with Southwest! Congrats!

Thank you for your review.. Flying out of Broomfield,Colorado soon..

Hi Ernie. I enjoyed your JSX review. I fly it sometimes from SoCal or Las Vegas to get back to Oakland …if of course Southwest is sold out or if the time is convenient. I kinda like the Oakland terminal as it’s walking distance to the hotels near the airport. But you’re right about the pricing and the check-in time is the main giveaway for me. Thanks for sharing take care

I’ve heard nothing but great things about JSX! Looking forward to flying on them one day. Or fly for them! ✈️

Just flew from Dallas to white plains. Great experience.

First! You're an inspiration to all of us Student Pilots, Ern!

I had an excellent experience with JSX. I flew DAL- MIA .

I see JSX has taken over the old Mesa airlines ground school building. Big windows out onto the taxiway. Like the video!

Nice and your a pilot so I will try with family and your believable nothing for Phx to east coast yet but I’ll go commercial for that . Keep pushing!

I think you've sold me Ern! Will give them a go.

As much as we Love Big Ern, I'm not sure that a big money SW Captain, is a fare and inpartial, review, but you were honest in your review.

I've flown JSX twice including just yesterday. I waaaay prefer it to the airlines and the disaster that is the terminals. Casual and quiet atmosphere at the FBO. Smaller aircraft with their Embraers and I loved sitting in a single seat row. I will always choose JSX if it's an option.

I agree with JSX flying out of Scottsdale. OH and I’m a student pilot and I was invited to complete some things for the cadet program with southwest

I personally have to admit with WN I have done that before where since I have precheck I have been lucky when running late I was able to get through security within 10-20 mins before the flight. Of course now I always try and get to the plane about 1 hour before departure with carryon only.

I really love the gulf stream G 700 i’m just short by $90 million

Great vdieo!

Definitely didn’t look special to me at all except for the relaxed airport environment. But I always love your positivity and good attitude.

They fly big time into KBJC here in Broomfield Colorado. Seems to be going well for them.

Hey, I got an off-topic question. Are Southwest aircraft LPV capable (IAN option)? If yes, do you enter WAAS channel number into MMR before executing approach and fly with APP mode instead of VNAV/LNAV? Thanks

No, the 737 under 121 are not LPV capable... they have cat I or cat II or Cat III opspecs by FAA that allow them to go below published mins.... however, having flown the 737...i have never seen one with LPV, it would cost millions more as an add on to avionics. It wouldn't be worth it

i’m probably overthinking this but it would’ve been better if you showed more/reviewed more inside the plane like a view of take off/landing. the service etc..Also CaptainSelfie (ex swa) is now a captain for JSX!

Nice!

I live in phx aswell, flew with jsx 3 years ago to Vegas and I can't fly any other way I think it's worth every penny. There were multiple California choices but they settled on just burbank now. I actually show up 10min before 😅

The -145's are configured a little different.I think they are a better product for them.

Thanks, great interesting video Ern, what type is A/C? Ticket PHX to LAS is expensive, but weigh in what it saves in time, TSA understanding where they fly. I don’t need to fly except with friends small planes, I wish could depart from PAN (Payson). But can’t.

Until you work with JSX at a FBO as a Line Service guy, their aircrafts are the biggest pile of dog poo I have ever seen and worked with.

I would still work for them as a pilot if they ever offered me a position with them to build hours to make it to the regionals at least lol.

Ah, and did you come away a winner or loser in Vegas? All the best!
