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.
No, GAs aren't for wimps. No one thinks that. But GAs take up time and, if you're being paid a flat rate, don't make you money. They push it.
Add to that their 25 minute turns. Any hiccup during the day rolls the delay to the last few legs so you've got guys trying to make up time as well.
