Seriously, I REALLY don’t want to bring up the past airline but the fuel conservation program and mentality amongst line pilots and management at SWA is pathetic.
I have to agree. At the other places I worked it was common practice for virtually every departure. I generally don't mind doing it on the -800 and the Max here, but something is different about the tires on the -700. Takes way too much thrust to get that thing rolling and keep it rolling. Mechanic told me why but I can't remember what he said.
When we are back in peacetime again they should really emphasize SET and put it in terms pilots can understand - profit sharing.
