I'm not sure I would call it a seamless transition. Although the W&B portion may have gone relatively smoothly, I get the impression that getting releases has been a major headache.
West O/T departure rate:
Wednesday - all mainline = 32%, PHX & LAS = 25%
Thursday - all mainline = 38%, PHX = 29%, LAS = 22%
Friday - all mainline = 44%, PHX = 39%, LAS = 36%
Here's an excerpt from a post on FlyerTalk describing what happened on one flight Wednesday:
We sat on the ground, at the gate, for a hour. Captain said that they were waiting for a FAX of the paperwork they required. 30 minutes later, a man came on board with the FAX. We closed up and were ready to push back. No push back. Captain came back on and said they were missing TWENTY pages of the FAX. So they opened back up and we waited for that.
