I was not aware of this and have not seen an NB Boeing so equipped here in the states - yet.
I thank you both.

I am stating the obvious here.... the percentage would depend on load, airport served, weather and company SOPs. Regarding quick turn around capabilities, the 737 is among the best in the fleet.
