Crazy thing is a PERFECT flight profile for SW Air Houston Hobby to San Antonio. 45 min gate to gate, touch cruise at an even flight level above 30K and start descent to land. Problem is there are NO 8,000′ Alps in the way! Just place seats in fwd position and stow trays while we collect trash .
Turns out a perfect point to point secret flight plan Barcelona to 6500′ alp with a really bad landing; one they couldn’t walk away from. Sad but true. 8
