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

Rip me all you want. Your facts don't come from a reliable source. You run airplanes off the runway like its no big deal.

It's well known how you operate. It's not a secret. You can't cover it up much longer.

Bottom line, and I take no pleasure in having this happen to anyone, but the hurried culture and push for more and more productivity at Southwest is a factor is all of these incidents, whether directly or not... pressure to squeeze every second out of the crew/plane which is something masterfully done by Southwest works its way down the entire operation and in some sense the industry... SLOW DOWN.. that's my answer to all of these incidents at EVERY carrier, even my own who thank God has had 0 fatalities in 84+ years.

Glass houses and all.

I have never been rushed or pressured to hurry at SWA by anyone. Ever.

The hurried culture that you are talking about is a thing of the past and not around anymore. And since you don't work here I doubt you honestly know what you are talking about.

Because I live in a vacuum and know nobody at Southwest? Or because I've never been a passenger in the back? Or because I've never sat in the jumpseat?

Well, none of the above. The first step in fixing a problem is acknowledging it exists.

So I guess I live in a vacuum too then because I have never seen what you are talking about while flying here for 8 years?

Well, I'm glad in 8 years you haven't seen it. Maybe it is better now than ever, but maybe there is still room for improvement. We shall see what comes of the FAA findings of the recent events.

Fly safe.


Btw, you play wow?

This will never happen with the SWA guys. They fly for SWA so they are the best of the best and never wrong.....

I once posted that I turned down a SWA interview right after being recalled from my Hawaiian furlough (I had applied at SWA before my recall and was just looking for any major airline job) and all the SWA guys had fits. They couldn't believe that someone could possible be happy where they are at and have no desire to fly for SWA when they now had other options.

SWA Bubba made the comment that SWA bashing gets old. If SWA guys didn't have such an arrogant, pompous attitude there wouldn't be as much bashing. It's a two way street.
