southwest FO once let me in the flight deck before takeoff while we were at the gate, he also let me start the APU, turn the on the seatbelt signs, and he helped me plan the flight route and even walked me through METARS on the FMC, i’ll never forget that 💙❤💛

I'm amazed how quick it took to set the plane up from delivery to revenue service.

I love when they say "Safety" with the 737 max

[Gacha_Snobby]

Southwest is truly the best airline to me. I have flown with you guys since I was a baby

[Ctater]

This is definitely a WoW moment! Great work SWA❤️!

[declanmurphy]

The last word to use when talking about Boeing is SAFETY!

It’s The Big Ern! I love the love airline. As a #Milwaukee resident, we fly SWA out of MKE a lot and I hope the #Southwest one day upgrade’s their Milwaukee focus city to a hub. Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

I love the heart decoration. It looks really nice in the planes I’ve been on a southwest plane twice. I’ve just been on them the same day on vacation but they were two different planes so if only we been on them for that anyways, I really love her cause it looks nice in themand I really love your brand too

Was that Big Ern doing a selfie by the engine?

[fionawimber]

I always assumed everything was done in Seattle. Good to know

[beannosman]

I spotted big Ern taking a selfie! What type of software do they upload?

[thesharkeybois]

They go to Phoenix because it’s the Southwestern U.S. 😂

Silly question (I've got lots of 'em): Why the "Q" letter on the tail number? What happened to "WN" / "SW"?

[jeffrosati]

Boeing went from 16th highest ranked DEI incubator in 2022 to 12th in 2023. Number of manufacturing and QC issues skyrocketed during this time frame. Heck of a coincidence.

[Oranjisch]

this is unrealistic
the taxi at the beginning wasn’t fast enough

[anthonypanthony]

There are reports by an engineer who worked on these planes from Boeing saying he would not fly on one. I fear these planes are not safe to fly.

[KO-imsm]

We need to know if you are inspecting your max planes

[NurislamPopov]

Partners at Boeing... Proceeds saying n 1 priority is safety LMFAO

[leechjim]

You had better pray! Or better yet, drive!

Two captians? Should have sent an FO on that delivery trip. Would have saved the company some money.
