Southwest "exits" runway.....again.

[fr8doggie]

A man has gotta do what a man has gotta do... to catch his commute.

Truer words were never spoken.

SWA is doing this stuff all the time. We all see how fast you guys taxi. It's well known throughout the industry. It's time for the FAA to step up and see that something is done to fix this.

Donuts and Whiskey shouldn't change the way these failures are dealt with.

Every body does this and you hate Southwest ..... Those aren't arguments. It's just outright arrogance. It's why you Continue to have the same problems.

just trying to get a shortcut...direct to the runway?

She's over on the regional board this week, building his lead in postings and sharing his wisdom of the current state of the airline industry. Oh and further feeding her ego.

She, His, her?

What do you want the FAA to do? How about we use some FAA data to see who's safe?
This study only includes major U.S. carriers with a minimum of 600 flights a day on average. We calculated the number of incidents where the airlines were at fault and then divided that figure by the number of total annual flights, giving us an incident per flight ratio. We used the Aviation Herald and the Federal Aviation Administration as our sources, taking care to avoid duplicates. So, without further ado, we present you our list of America's Safest Airlines:

Where are your stats to back up "hardly" as an argument? I won't be holding my breath...

AT is the safest.

Got it. Some actual impartial research with actual calculations vs. your rambling BS based on partial information, and outright misinformation, and anecdotal and sensationalized stories. And in your mind, half-truths and mistruths win.

Southwest Airlines operates more flights per day, and carries more passengers per day in the U.S. than any other carrier. Things can and do happen to every carrier (although mostly minor), but as it turns out, they actually happen less to Southwest. With the exception of Airtran, they happen less often percentage-wise than to everyone else. And with the exception of Airtran and Jetblue (who operated < 20% of the number of flights), the actual number of incidents was lower at Southwest.

Yes, the FAA does look at carriers that have "safety problems." Fortunately, they rely on actual data (like numbers quoted in the study), rather than relying on the incoherent ramblings of pretentious nimwits like Rajflyboy.

Go back to your morning bourbon, Rajflyboy; at least you're more entertaining that way.

P.S. By the way, I'd pit Southwest's safety record against any other airline. You keep forgetting to mention who YOU fly for Raj--are you embarassed?

The SWA cowboys were "yukking" it up on the frequency. What an embarrassment.

The SWA devil may care, we are better that everyone else because we are SWA, is getting real old...

Sorry; are you talking about anything in particular? Is this pertinent to the conversation about this incident, or or you just lobbing a random anti-SWA grenade because you have nothing better to say?

The SWA devil may care, we are better that everyone else because we are SWA, is getting real old...

Not as old as the anti-SWA crowd who can't wait to trot out any possible negative thing they can find about Southwest, regardless of veracity or applicability, then turn to random BS when they run out of arguments. Hell, this crowd even appears to be semi-organized, with cheerleaders and everything (imagine General Lee in a letter sweater and a skirt and holding pom-poms)...

FlyUnder

Stay classy, Flyunder.

You guys need to slow down. You are only hurting yourselves at the end of the day by having this happen over and over and over again.

It's happening over and over again? Really?

Do you know for a fact here that speed was a factor?

 

[canyonblue]

SWA is doing this stuff all the time.

Who do you fly for? It's always the same morons who never want to admit where they work that rip on SWA, NO CREDIBILITY at all.
