Yeah well you can’t just pick the speed up from filled .78 to .80 just because nobody’s looking. You can’t just deviate 30 miles around a Thunderstorm because nobody’s looking. You can’t just climb or descend out of turbulence without a clearance and if you don’t get that clearance guess what? You are stuck. You HAVE to know the escape maneuvers from the tracks if you lose an engine or decompress. I’m sure SW pilots can figure this out, but to write ETOPS off as just another flight is wrong, it’s not as easy as flying across the country. It’s uncontrolled airspace and MY life depends on everyone following SOPs.
Thanks Dad! We'll be careful...

So does United and Delta. They all have FAA approved ETOPS programs. If Southwest wants one they need to leave the cowboy hats at home and show up ready to work.
This will not cut it..

Quoted from the Delta thread talking about this.

...They’re probably busy ironing their double breasted blazer in the crew room on one of their 4 hour sits.
With all that going on, how would they find time to monitor a Southwest thread?

HAha, we all know that if Delta isn’t busy landing at the wrong airport, taking a plane off a runway, landing a heavy on a taxiway, checking on rides, monitoring guard while missing a take off clearance, asking for wind read outs on short final in an A330...

Good grief guys. It's just an airline. Not a religion. It's not your favorite football team. Do you think that workers at McDonalds get into unit measuring contests with the folks at Burger King.
Just. A. Job.
I've worked for 9 airlines. They're all the same. You talk about the same crap. Everybody buys everybody else an adult beverage from time to time. Everybody thinks they're the best. And they're not. They are all. The. Same.
PS - I miss hub turn sits. That was when I liked to sit down and have lunch at an actual TABLE and maybe even take a poop in a porcelain toilet!
