I think, and I could be wrong, the reason SWA doesn't use the auto brakes, is to basically stay off the brakes all together until 80 knots (slowing with reversers only) that in turn lets them do quick turns with no concern rising about break temps
Wrong.
Nowhere in our current FOM is there such a statement.
"Then that puts schedule before safety. Not good."
Safety is priority one. I just don't understand how people can think that safety is second over schedule or pay or whatever. We (pilots) are just like everyone else, we have families, friends and I have NEVER seen safety compromised.
Get with it people. Wait for the NTSB report to come out and then you can add your two cents as to what, why, and where.
