im sorry to hear that is even allowed at SW. I'm guessing if it is, not for much longer. What a goof up.

Nobody here should be spinning in zero anymore.

It changed recently (last year some time?). Habits can be hard to break. That's the only way my supposition works. Most guys I fly with have adjusted, but there are some one there that still do this.

with the avionics suite avail on the NG it is really hard to understand how the boobs in the school house allow this?

What if I am flying the RNAV Y to runway 20 at KMSY? Am I allowed to set zeros for old times' sake?

Loopholes, my friend. Much like the loop they flew in OKC last night. Too soon?

What is the normal minimum runway length allowed at Southwest?

One of the 'talked about' procedures that has been promised or theatened for years, depending on your view, is flying to the FAF on ANY approach prior to landing. A/C should be configured and on-speed at FAF. Eliminates pretty much all guesswork, ensures both pilots have the 'shared mental model' and gives you a fixed point in space to aim for in all circumstances. Perhaps this is the incident that pushes that procedure into practice.
