Southwest is THE airline that has open seating. Unlike the other airlines where you are STUCK with assigned seating, Southwest lets you sit where ever YOU want. Just like on bus or train.

For sure, not to mention no fees for baggage.

When you said southwest has best takeoffs, did you realize that all jets take off the same?

[iscorpio]

they do, but my mother told me SW employs many ex-military pilots that have great fast take offs. fly SW and I hope you see, and no I do not work for the company...its just luv.

It was a fast Vr, angle was about V2+15 maybe 20.

at least 25-27 degrees

You're right it was a honest mistake, when I said both of you need to get your facts straight I was more referring to heybej. My bad.

But heybej, yeah that's just stupid.

(Mamba205 was my old account)

I thought that they could max out at 30 degrees on take off. BTW, I'm not hurting anyone by listing wrong facts (I had no idea I was wrong). So there was no need to be like "get your facts straight".

However, I totally do not believe heybej, as 45 degrees on take off is a complete lie.

I love Southwest...only airline I fly! Just flew last week again!

[heybej]

Planes take off at different angles. Ok, definitely was not 45 degrees, hehe, but it was steeper than usual. Also where you sit, the engines sound different. In front of them, and they buzz (on the 737) in back and it is more of a thrust sound and louder. Look I love Southwest, one of my favorite companies, and I trust the pilots completely. I wasn't saying this to talk down, I was saying it more in excitement because I love flying and I think it is one of the greatest feats of humanity.

Mamba: No, you did not pitch up to atleast 30 degrees, I can guarentee you it was 20 degrees or less, the 737-700 pitches for V2+15 at takeoff, nowhere near 30 degrees for passenger comfort and performance. both of you need to get your facts straight.

[swa5297]

heybej.

WRONG. (douchebag)

I really don't care if you've flown over 300 times, its been in the passenger seat anyway. I know that for a fact because if you were a pilot you would know that no commercial airline EVER takes off at 45...dumbass. ANd as for the engines "buzzing louder than ever" Southwest airlines doens't decide "O Lets set our engines at a higher thrust then other airlines".
