This was not birthed by Southwest Airlines. They did allow it though and for that they should be mercilessly mocked.

Why? It worked just fine at the last airline who inspired it.

Nope but it was so strong it would have taken over the world. Especially with the best jets ever.

Best standardization of any airline (they didn’t fart without 3-4 callouts back and forth) and believed they were whipping Delta and stealing their lunch money!

I still can't figure out why we have to say "landing gear" instead of "gear." Was there a question at some point of what gear we needed to have raised or lowered?

All-day-Ray said we could mistake "gear" for "cheer". I poop you negative. Maybe someday we'll be good enough to drop the first word and be like the rest of the world.

Ah fair enough. I often get really excited when on short final go home leg. The other guy usually tells me to cheer down. Makes sense why I’ve have 5 gear up landings now
