See my above post... Our numbers get put in by the crew chiefs, who sometimes take awhile, especially if we're full. SWA obviously has a system where the crew chiefs/load agents can put in the stuff quickly, before push. It obviously works.

I once had a SWA pilot on the MD80 jumpseat, pulling into C12 at DFW. We had to stop short awaiting marshallers. When they came out, they came at a SNAIL'S pace, showing no motivation whatsoever in parking our jet. The SWA guy could not believe it! I guess at SWA, they come running out, if they're not already in place. I explained to him that at companies like SWA, there is motivation to get the job done quickly and efficiently. That has never really been the case here.
