I don't SET but I tell the FOs start them whenever you want. I don't GAS! We can always shut one down if there is a line. I have never had a problem getting rolling. Every Jet, SET, every flight, every day for 175 years. Inbound, I only shut it down if I see all rampers ready to work. The risk vs reward isn't worth my career. Damage something and SWA will find any reason to pin it on the flight crew.

My point was that there is much room for improvement for fuel savings in our operation and waiting to start the first one when SET is definitely one of those areas.

My guess is that it's all part of the playbook to prep the battle space for the selling of the turd that is likely coming by the end of the year in a way similar to that of a navy shelling the beachhead prior to the assault.

So weird that the BNA/STL rumors were inserted into the conversation as the SAV approached. I've even noticed more talk about a Hawaiian acquisition recently.

Secondly I could care less about saving money. Mach .795 and the rides are always better down in the 20s. Could care less about money as I am in the safety business…

The whole Hawaiian rumor is absurd. Can you imagine this company not only taking on three additional fleet types, but also widebody (with premium cabin) but even more so, Asian flying?! Amazon freight flying? Talk about too big to chew. There's no way to fly an A330 like a 737-200 and they still need to figure out how to accept foreign currency. It's a long way from Lubbock.
