Ever get Turned or Slowed for The "Love Machine"?

[ableone]

What are you talking about? SWA gates are by the 26 runways. SO fast get out for RW 26. Your buddy said the rare East RW 8 departure. Please read before for open your trap.

I am thinking your are not very able ableone

Please explain what "SO fast get out for RW26." means.

Slaquer5 not like type on keyboard?

PS both 26 runways are west runways . I am assuming your not a pilot.

So in your world when the controller says the winds are out of the west, 26 L and R in use, and he asks if you want the Left/Right runway or the north/south runway you say; "We'll take the west runway?"

Be careful on that RNP/SAAAR stuff, you might be in over your head. old school.

I think you need to go up and reread his post. He said he was taking off of the 8s my bitter little buddy. Have a nice day.

This is ridiculous. At one time or another every airline has been turned or slowed for some other airline. It happens. I know that SWA airplanes have been turned or slowed to accomodate some other airline. If it's going to be a tie though, the nod will usually go to SWA because they get it done quicker whereas some of the RJs are required by their FOM to be fully configured at the marker and other guys just love telling contollers "unable", so controllers finally quit even asking and make their own decision. Everyone remembers when they got turned or slowed due to SWA or by some other airline but no one remembers when they were sometimes the winner and the other guy got slowed or turned and sometimes the other guy was even a SWA airplane.

What is all the complainin' about? SWA gets paid by the trip (no incentive for slowing down). Everyone else gets paid by the hour ($$$ reason to slow down).

So lets handle this like professional aviators trying to maximize our schedule/money. What am I trying to say.....Everyone get out of our way and we will all be happy!!!

Wow, this thread has gone 8 pages. I can't believe.....oh wait, this is FlightInfo, never mind. Carry on.

I don't know why this is an issue. Most airline pilots get paid for time. SWA pilots get paid for the trip. The faster they complete the trip the more they get paid. The slower most of us others complete our trip the more we get paid. I'm all for SWA getting there first. It means I get paid more. I'm all for getting more money. Thank you SWA!

We just started getting overfly pay after 4 minutes over and we're soon to go full time CI20. Most of us have been doing CI20 with a min cruise of .72/300 (old contract). That part's about to go away. Some of you think we're slow now...wait until we're 249 knots at 15k feet for 30+ miles going into MDW!

Cut off, cut in front of, slowed up...all in the last three months.

Don't forget it's also a SWA bashing thread. They ususally go 5+ pages.

You've been wronged.

You should call the government immediately and complain.

There it is! Was just waiting for the safety card to be played.
Do you run from your own shadow too?

You have a point to your candyass comment?

Safety counts....as much as you try to deny it....it's an issue!

 

[Whataburger]

Safety is no Accident!!

Safety of what?

An intersection takeoff?
Position and hold?
Tailwind landings?

Please. If you're such a safety God I'd better never see another Delta jet do any of the above. You just singlehandedly grounded the entire airline.
