What was the temperature at the time? Could they have been doing an engine runup?

Whilst on a runway, after being cleared for takeoff, being advised there's another aircraft on a 3 mile final? Sure.

I've done plenty of engine runups while on a runway after being cleared for takeoff, but obviously the 30 seconds was always coordinated with Tower first. Just trying to figure why SWA took so long to get rolling.

Well, good for you.

Glad it’s always worked out, FOR YOU.

Nobody should have been cleared into the critical area.

I was originally confused by the attitude of this reply, but then realized who was posting. Go back to bed, gramps!

Full thrust standing takeoff. Takes a min.

But if you're going to do a run-up you're supposed to tell tower too.
