That’s my way. I do walk arounds also. When I do these. I’ll be doing them after everyone is done below. I have zero concern of late departures. Our safety and health come before SWA.

Amen..... Like getting rid of the crewbuddy and crewzapp, increasing reserves while loading up the hard lines with unsustainable amounts of flying, increasing hotel and transport buffoonery etc., the timing of this idiocy is suspect.
All part of the industry leading, general harassment program.
Is it too late for VSP?

For all those commenting that aren't SWA...I don't think the issue is the walk around itself. The issue is that it's on top of our multiple scheduled/unscheduled aircraft swaps and attempt at short ground time between legs (35-45 minutes) while not providing crew meals...so it's just 1 more time consuming task during an already compressed event. Good thing pilots control the parking brake...we'll go when we're ready and not let the schedule dictate our actions.

I will grant you it's a little more fussy when you're picking up a jet from a swap and/or everyone is running late. Well, in that case, you get there when you get there, and be sure to take some time to get proper nourishment.
