Just call it "Southwest 250".

ATC wasn't at their best here. Not just the "high speed" comment, but also asking questions about the emergency after they'd already been answered. Asking "do you want the equipment" is a foolish practice that's become commonplace in the system.

We are having pilot deviations from the topic so let's not ruin this thread any further.
does this mean the FAA expects heavys to climb all the way to 10k with the flaps out?

No.
The way I read that it’s for landing aircraft not departing.
