what mechanism did you use to collect weather/runway info for each of your choices given that is is a cardboard cockpit? "ACARS" (as in, "I'm sending a message to dispatch askin for weather and notams for these airports" or, ask ATC, or ask the FO to call for them?

Same with runway numbers? Does SWA still use the laptop? If so, can you ask the JS to look up landing numbers?

Just trying to imagine how best to get all of the info you need to make a good decision within the 7 minute time frame.
