I flew forSWA for about a year during my furlough from UAL. I do remember the grind, but I also remember not sitting much between legs, and I also didn’t swap tails that often between legs.

At UAL, while I was on Fidi, our sits seems to be longer than when I was at SWA and we didn’t keep the jet as often and that was usually at a hub.

For me, the longer sits and grabbing my gear and hustling to a different gate made the day seem much longer and fatiguing than when I at SWA. Quick turns made the day seem faster and more efficient. I don’t know if SWA’s new charge to assigned seating will or has slowed down that aspect of the operation yet.

Ilya been over 12 years since I flew there, but I assume that part hasn’t changed.
