Making fun of a guy flying a real machine while flying around in a RJ??....I'll take a Falcon 2000 over a brand new 170,000lb Airbus any day of the week..

Well at least he got the 35,000 lb weight right......landing weight that is (for a 50).

Cry me a river. Dude, with those descent speeds, you're going to be faster than 90% of the jet traffic out there! 360 KIAS!? What are you flying...a 727? Even before we lowered our cost index (which gives a 261-266 KIAS descent speed...down from 280ish KIAS), you would have had to slow down behind us. The fuel savings SWA has realized from this are real, and it adds typically 2-3 minutes on to a 90 min flight. So yes, I'm calling B.S. on your 10+ minute delays. ATC is also not bashful about asking us to pick up our speed at the larger airports. With fuel prices the way they are, perhaps you too could benefit a little by experimenting with cost indexes?

280kts? Really? Heck, we fly an Ultra at 280 in the descent...

It's nice to be one of the fast guys again!! :beer:

Who cares what kind of airplane you fly. My dream job would be a beaver on floats. Anyone know where I can fly one of those for $200K per year & have 18 days off a month?

 

[Microclimates]

Beavers...
