Southwest's Winglets
 

After watching football all day I think I'll puke if I have to listen to that chick on the Southwest commercial explain the winglet "doohickeys" again.
As if Southwest invented and has a f'n patent on them so they can sell cheaper tickets! I guess Southwest believes the traveling public is stupid enough to think everybody else's winglets don't work the same way.
Gimme a break!

Hahahaha. Love it.

I agree 100%, I actually changed the channel to NASCAR when that commercial came on. :eek:

A lot of their marketing and business model is based on this.

And unfortunately, its true.

Id love to know what the average person believes is the reason why the winglets help save fuel.

I'm sure in reality the could care less as long as they save on checked baggage fees

Judging from your position listed on your profile it looks like this is a bit of winglet envy. I'll trade ya positions. My rj has cool winglet doohickys too :cool:

Everyone knows how they work. PFM...BOOM.

Except for the fact that many 75/76's have 13 ft tall winglet doohickys nowadays. ;)

Pfffffffff "Winglets"........ We have "SHARKLETS" on the Airbus :) Spirit should do an ad during shark week, lol

Is that what those are? Thanks Southwest!

I thought we explained this earlier. Magic!

Kitten guillotine
 

It's actually a safeguard to ensure all kittens are dispatched. If the nose wheel does not do the job, and the kitten is flung upward and outward, the razor sharp fin will ensure success.

Let me finish that for you...BOOM, goes the dynamite!

They had to come up with a replacement for their snarky "bags fly free" campaign.

Apparently this is the best they could do.

Not only to do they save fuel and protect kittens, those are actually wing mounted carbon footprint offsets that are preventing global warming.:cool:

I thought those doohickeys were just the chem trail dispersal units

Did someone start their period today?

Funniest post I have read in a long time.....:D:D

Damn kittens, just to cute for their own good..:D

Don't know. Not appropriate to ask her.

Pffffft winglets and sharklerts, raked wingtips are the bomb!

It's hip to be green. The latte-sippers think "I'll fly SW. Then I'm doing my duty by Mother Earth! Less CO2!"

I actually did the math once - yes, I am a dork. For a transatlantic flight on a 777 with 250 people, each person is "responsible" for adding almost a ton of CO2 into the air. I came up with 1,500 lb per person.

If they knew that, they'd probably choke a bit. :D

Hey, listen here, if Southwest and Delta think their pilots NEED training fins then they oughta put 'em on.
That's a fact, Jack

Been hittin' the moonshine, Si? Some apple pie, perhaps? :D
