Must have been one more of those famous SWA "hi speed taxi" profiles SWA is so famous for. They like to brag about 20 minute turns at the airport yet this is what happens when you strive to do that. That's why the rest of us "look" like we are taxiing slow. Trying to keep the mud off the wheels, it's a jet, not a 4X4 or an Indy car.

back in the day, they would turn 'em in 10 minutes at an outlying airport, not sure about DAL.

but this was not a "turn". this should have been the first leg of the day for that aircraft.

One thing I hate about SWA is the seating system.

It may have worked when they were a small company mainly serving Texas and nearby states, but for a longer flight, like Islip to Tampa or Fort Lauderdale, people should be able to choose a seat online.

That's one reason my relatives on LI go to jetBlue JFK instead of Islip.

well random boarding was shown to be the fastest boarding process by that asu academic paper or whoever wrote it. Generally speaking though, if you get an A boarding group you can pretty much sit anywhere you want, so i don't mind the seating system.

What happens to the pilots now? Are they allowed to fly or do they sit on the sidelines until SWA and FAA complete an investigation? How long before aircraft is checked for damage and deemed airworthy again?

What will happen to the pilots is primarily up to SWA,BUT, the article says at one point they were just doing a straight taxi, then it says the missed a turn or failed to negotiate it. At any rate, pax deplaned and SWA sent in another plane. AC did receive damage and it will be fixed before it flies again.

That ain't no fun job. My boy had an 07 for awhile til daughter in law wrecked it. We did that job a couple of times . While not all that bad, I wouldn't want to do it every day. Seems to me there were 2 that you HAD to go underneath for

A Southwest Airlines veered off a taxiway at MacArthur Airport

A Southwest Airlines veered off a taxiway at MacArthur Airport this morning.

“We just made your day very exciting,” one of the Boeing 737’s pilots radioed to the control tower after the incident.

“We just taxied off the taxiway into the grass,” the pilot sheepishly admitted, according to audio on the Web site LiveATC.net.

No one was hurt in the 6:30 a.m. incident, which occurred moments before the jet was to take off for Tampa.

The 129 passengers, two pilots and three flight attendants were evacuated by stairs, and bused back to the airport terminal.

Southwest Flight 4695 veered off the runway this morning and into the mud.

Southwest sent a replacement plane to the airport, and the passengers resumed their journey to Florida five hours behind schedule, the airline said.
