The new paint scheme is very bright and loud and thus completely apropos for the airline it represents. Because when you're blasting around the taxiways at 30kts, cutting corners and taxiway lines........it's best for the safety of all if you're highly visible.

It's funny because it's true.

What did George Carlin used to say? Anyone who drives faster than you is a maniac and anyone who drives slower than you is a moron.

Do SWA pilots taxi around saying "look at all these morons!"

Yeah, I loved to hear the SW Sky Gods cry when their sequence was changed to follow a 727 doing .875 while they were trotting along at a mere .75... "How come we're number 2":(? Many retorts came to mind, but an FCC violation would do me no good:D.

Actually you people have NO clue about how bad it is. You should hear the persistent snide remarks about others' taxi speeds. I hear bi()hing about AA taxiing like AA or DLA taxiing like DLA all the time, to which I kindly remind them that they taxi like NORMAL pilots do.

Honestly, until you spend some time in the right seat at this Mickey Mouse operation, you won't truly understand why there's a taxiway/runway overrun, near CFIT, etc on literally a monthly basis. The latest gem was a botched go around that got down to 88 kts. at 400' and a ridiculously high nose high attitude. Yeah, you read that right.

And yet, they still just.......don't.......get.........it.
