Obviously they can't let you up during flight.
But there really is a lot of work that has to be done prior to departure, the autopilot doesn't know where to go unless you program it with a flight plan! SWA does 20 minute turns compared to most airlines doing 45-60 minute turns, so they are the worst guys to ask.
Best time might be if you are holding at the gate for a delay.
