Oh, one last thing.

I've been to f-NWA hubs pre-SOC and post-SOC. Just curious, is it normal to have to wait 3-5 minutes at the gate for the ground crew to get into position, or are they having a work slow down against the f-DAL jets?

No, I'm not being arrogant, disrespectful, mean spirited, or trying to tarnish our red-tail breatheren, because God knows DAL has JFK (what a nightmare).
