Southwest off the runway at KDEN.

Go sit in front if a mirror and say "I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!"

Now, that's funny...

Don't kid yourself, Driver--cultural reputatons has absolutely nothing to do with this. If American Airlines, who has a reputation for taxiing absurdly slow, did the same thing, you'd have the same numbnuts making the same inane comments. If you really don't think "anyone would be saything here," then you obviously don't know the first thing about Flight Info (or human nature).

Do you really think the Captain was taxiing at 45 kts (Southwest's maximum is 20 kts, or up to 30 kts on long parallels) after landing in Denver with freezing fog, snow, and visibility issues? Really?

Southwest is always gonna' have its haters, just like Delta has its haters, USAir, United, etc., all have theirs as well. I mean, for cryin' out loud--the guy who started this tread titled it "Southwest off the runway at KDEN," even though he went on to list text from a story mentioning that it was actually only a taxiway. You'd think a guy whose FI name was "BE-400xpDriver" would know the difference, especially since he's claiming to be a pilot himself. Yet he deliberately mistates the facts in his thread title just to make it look more serious for Southwest. Why do you suppose THAT is? And of course, YOU make not one, but two comments relating to Southwest taxi speeds, which had absolutely nothing to do with this incident.

Don't worry--I'm sure that someone hates whatever airline YOU work for as well.

It's not reputations but observations. You can honestly sit there and say SWA doesn't taxi fast? or faster? Plz. Wait for the DFDR info. We limit 12 kts in the turn at UAL and I guarantee as an airline we violate it every day. I'm sure SWA does it faster and yeah, I've seen them do it faster. Oh, everyone hates UAL.

I went back and read all of Megalops' previous posts in this thread in Christopher Walken's voice to myself and nearly split a gut.

How 'bout Mistah Chow? How you like that, bitches? :laugh:

Somebody better call Patroni!

Sadly, far too few will make the connection. Classic flick.

Well, if the OP wanted to talk about the watch, why didn't he just say so? :laugh:
