Copy the cool down. We have the same issue on the 717s. I believe our 737 guys are approved to shut them down right after landing. Not sure how that works. Maybe we're spending our fuel money on more engine mx....

I talked with an Asst CP and a Ckeck Airman and they both said that single engine taxi from the gate and into the gate is coming, there is just to many changes happening now to change the taxi procedure as well. After leaving the gate the F/O will start the 2nd engine when we are 2-3 minutes from takeoff. ASfter landing the procedure will be the one that humveedriver described.
Good news! More money for profit sharing checks.![]()
What are you guys hearing about the 717s? We hear they may be in play again, sooner.
What are we hearing? We're hearing that you're nothing but a flame baiting troll.

I don't think OYS knows what public negotiations look like. In this case Boeing and SWA.
Any chance of not responding to OYS at all? Group effort.

PCL_128;2280077 listen to CFO Laura Wright from last week's conference: [I said:"They (the B717s) are on lease with Boeing, and we are comfortable with the terms we have on those leases. If there was an opportunity that made sense from an economic stand point to reduce that fleet, we would certainly look at it, but we currently have the intent to continue to operate that fleet. With 88 airplanes, we feel like we can do it efficiently and economically."[/I]
So Southwest pilots have to start both engines before they can start taxiing? Does the company make you sit there while the second engine starts?

But if you want actual facts, listen to CFO Laura Wright from last week's conference:
"They (the B717s) are on lease with Boeing, and we are comfortable with the terms we have on those leases. If there was an opportunity that made sense from an economic stand point to reduce that fleet, we would certainly look at it, but we currently have the intent to continue to operate that fleet.
