The latest company propaganda (Townhall) they stated basically that the displacements are a juniority problem and that there will always be junior people. Also, that would shorten the commute for a lot of folks.
Reverse engineering the LTP…there’s another SWA-ism. Lemme break out my abacus and protractor so I can determine to the foot when I have to go around. Like the dude next to you know WTF 3,752’ looks like at 150 mph.

I’m glad they don’t care about QOL or seniority. Be sure to make my feelings on that known. By exercising my right to use my sick bank how I see fit.

I perform an exhaustive briefing on the calculation of the LTP. PowerPoint, briefing cards (of my own design) and a short scored quiz complete this banquet of RRM deliciousness. I’ve named this process …… The Pineapple Feast.

Your LTP of 3,752’ is easily dispatched using my method - it’s the 75th centreline light. They are passing by at the rate of 5 per second. Massive quantities of caffeine and taurine must be consumed prior to landing. Correct dosage is indicated by pronounced eyeball jitter, moderate palsy and light drooling.

If you have lazy eye and toe fungus add 100' for a go around

Having a lousy QOL because of decisions people in DAL are making and being told your QOL doesn’t matter and you should stop being junior kinda does that to someone.

2.5 yrs after upgrade and on the cusp of getting kikced out of base and going backwards the whole time after over 10 yrs on property may cause someone to ahve a bad attitude. The good this is my chief doesn't call me when I use my sick time.

Yup. Always nice when your schedule is worse after almost 3 years. CP’s told me many many times to burn the sick time whenever I feel like it. Just hoping we don’t get booted next year….

I’ve never seen a 5,263’ remaining sign. Easier just to say, “send me around by this intersection or if I’m not down in the first 3rd”. This place likes making easy hard.

OR Don’t be a moron and just go around. They’re free and you get paid by the minute.

seems you like to make easy hard. Round up and go around at the 5000’ remaining sign and be done with it. There are also big white stripes that tell you when you are at the LTP…

your taxiway probably isn’t exact either…so maybe you do get it?
