I also can't remember how many people Value Jet killed by cowboying it up compared to SW. Oh, that's right about 100 times more people from an operator that was about 1/20th the size SW is now.

Anybody denying that SWA doesn’t have a problem with running off taxiways and runways has their head in the sand. Let’s not even talk about all the ground equipment to aircraft contact that happens all the time. Oh, then there was that light pole on the Denver ramp that lost the battle with a 737 wingtip.

Maybe that’s not fair..... But after all the times I’ve seen them taxiing around at 60 knots and doing crazy ass stuff to make an approach work out....... It’s what I think.
This line of work has no place for fools. That silly ass cowboy stuff needs to stop-like at least a couple decades ago.
I’m sorry, but I just can’t overlook or excuse that kind of crap. Accidents happen. But accidents aren’t really accidents for those who tempt fate so often.
And once you’ve done this work long enough, you come to realize how little of it really comes down to “luck.”
