Another reason I love Southwest. It is nice to see pilots are willing to clean windows, load baggage, ect. to help out and make it all work.

Speaking as a fighter pilot, I CANNOT STAND a bug spot on a windscreen. Anhyone who's ever done a break turn for a smudge on the side of the canopy knows what I am talking about...

I buff and polish the windscreen on my GA plane as well, and have a shammy in the hangar at standby. This guy ain't doin' this for SWA...he's doing it because he hates a dirty canopy. I get it...

Undoubtedly. Club soda is also a great window cleaner. ;)
