Those guys are paid to get from block to block as quickly as possible.
They're not paid to go around, taxi slowly, are take the long way home. Some guys really push the limits and those that don't are chastised by the other pilot. The bang out lots of flights, push themselves hard, and push their
airplanes hard.
So we can expect to see this sort of thing from SWA more often? I take it that go-arounds are for wimps and pudknockers and that real pilots get it on the ground first time every time. Its good to see that the lessons from the past 30 years only need to be taught in classrooms and not applied to line operations.
