Default "Econ" speed (Southwest)?

For the swa guys. What Econ number do you normally put into your fmc during initialization? I'm not even sure if swa uses Econ and Vnav like most 737 operators.

You have to put a number in for it to work.

They use the cost index function. Used to be around 20 or so, probably different now.
