Southwest Goes Off Road'n In Chicago

[Muppets]

To all my SWA brothers and sisters,

Welcome to our world....the double breasted dorks have been hating on us for a long time. They get nervous whenever competition creeps in. Just throw them the bird and keep on truckin.

Regards,
AirTran

They have already chopped up several of the shorter runways at El Toro.

Oh, the humanity.

Hey Scope,

A couple of items..

I didn't pay for my job what-so-ever. So your way off base. Plus our trip for pay system is extremely lucrative. Depending on what type of trip you're flying the converstion can be quite high, but you know what.. you probably don't want to hear that! It's easy to credit whatever you want.

Southwest Airlines - RJ free since 1972!

Scope is apparently forgetting that many people got their job at Southwest without ever paying for a type rating. Many got it from previous airlines.

That is quite a generalization. I wear the uniform because it's required, whether I like it or not. I don't hate on anyone, and I hope you don't think the .02 %ers in here represent us. If you flip me the bird it's ok.. I'll just assume you are having a bad day and missed your commute or something.

Not to mention that not one person paid one penny to SW to get the job......

Well stated brother! Appreciate some kind words for once.

Delta chumps had to pay for their room/board while in training "until they pass the checkride".... nice.

Like I said before, the only cool thing about Delta is the NWA guys.

Good points...and very funny....except...Delta doesn't land on taxiways repetitively. However, runway overuns, for SWA, what is this, the third?

There is an operational pattern here that is becoming a problem for SWA. It is evident also from the high speed taxi rates many of us witness each day. Hey, maybe the incentive being dangled is worth bending the airframe, but it seems counter culture to what is bragged about.

I know it's semantics, but I believe taxiing and landing are two different animals.

Please state 2 instances in which we made the news while taxiing. Thanks!!

When you stopped abruptly to throw off fat passengers and strippers? Great publicity. You will always be #2 in ATL. Get used to it, and an arbitrated SLI.

SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!
Air Tran guys, please save these guys from themselves.

AirTran has killed 110 people. Southwest has killed one.

Southwest guys, please save these guys from themselves.

Don't forget about the old Western guys.

My response was not to joust with you over what you deem are semantics. Delta, to my knowledge, has had the single incident of the taxiway M landing. SWA, on the other hand, has had three over-runs, BUR, and the two at MDW.

The above information is factual. My observation of SWA crews taxiing at high rates of speed is based on my personal observations. You may confirm or deny it.

Everything looks fast when you're in an Embraer. The freakin Fuel Truck looks fast.

Thank you for proving my point.

You are correct, Sir!

Yep!

LOL. What a great argument...Not!

I paid $200 for an ATL crashpad during my month of training! Big deal. At least I had a spine and didn't spend $6,000 at Higher Power!!! Oh yeah, I got paid while getting my 737 Type! Who's the Chump?

 

[canyonblue]

Who's the Chump?

You! You join the ranks of Delta pilots who continue to interject your babble on a Southwest thread. Oh well, welcome aboard and feel free to enjoy our threads. I am well aware that nobody bothers to read any posts about Delto, not that interesting of an airline. And noting worth writing about on the pilot front since 2000.

Wow. That's almost as bad as CAL pilots having to do their annual checkrides on their days off, with only 2 hours of pay each day for the privilege.
