We’re in section 6, one call and then let them call to ask we we haven’t pushed.

I personally enjoy the gate hustle, slam the brake, make the plane rock back and forth a minimum of 3 times. 4 is preferred, 5 is varsity level. Run the shutdown checklist, and then if the jetway driver isn't there in 3 seconds, tell the FO to call ops and let them know we are here. "Umm. we just called them 3 seconds ago on the taxi in..." Pretty sure calling them a third time isn't going to make them appear any faster...

Oh, believe me….I wouldn’t have but the FO was trying to make a commute. I’m also fairly certain the OPS lady’s GAS was even lower than mine.

The BWI special?

BWI …. “SWA Station of the year”

BWI isn’t great but it’s been much better than MDW and MCO recently

This is why I bid to avoid crossing East of the Mississippi River at all costs (amongst other things).

Meh, to each their own. Personally it’s maximum $ signs between checkin and release time. That covers about 80% of what I care about when I go to work not including the obvious……maximum safety.
