It was a test flight. They were making sure the engines didn't flame out when we crossed the border.

I've seen as many as 4 of their birds parked at a hangar in San Salvador.

Out sourcing for cheap labor. Very sad. I am sure they do not pay them well.

I've seen SWA getting heavy maintenance in San Salvador, along with Jet Blue, and US Air.

LBB - Tijuana proving runs. A check airman told me.
