That’s a direct shot at old school SWA Captains. Fortunately they’re a dying breed.

So some SWA capt actually said put the flaps down right at speed, if its good enough for boeing its good enough for me? Also is that why he was saying dont stop til we get to the gate as a precurser for taxiing like hes in the indy 500?

I agree mostly with the captain. What's SOP?

I'm afraid I'm going to have to report this for promoting ethnic stereotypes that relate Texans in a negative light.

I thought the CA and FO made a good Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock like duo. One needs to straighten up, the other needs to loosen up.

"all my approaches are at flaps 40. Boeing wouldn't have put them there if we wern't supposed to use them."

best line in the whole video
"and we will stick em out at the placard speeds. If its good enough for boeing its good enough for me"
