Look I in no way want to be critical. Maybe you guys at Southwest can take this as constructive criticism?
I was taking Southwest from Oakland to San Diego a couple of nights ago. The ride was relatively smooth until we landed. Then I became very well acquainted with the seatback in front of me. Dude max braking and full TR just to not have to taxi back to the gate? Jesus I would have been fired for that unless it was a contaminated runway.
Look I know I fly corporate and I'm a young punk and don't know how life is so hard for airline guys and all that but come on. I literally face planted into the seat while the brakes were pumping from max to almost max. I looked back at the runway lights and we barely used 3000'. We then taxied to the gate to the west for a while!
Maybe I'm in the minority here but I would prefer a longer roll out to avoid the near bruising from the seatbelt. I'll keep my fingers cross for the arrival at OAK.
