You are so lucky to get that close. The absence of eye-brow windows makes the 737 look awkward.

I didn't like it at first, but I now have to admit not having those windows sure cleans up its appearance. Looks sharp.

Unfortunately, rumor has it that some SW flights are getting delayed because some tractor driver refuses to unhook the plane. At times, he's had to be forcibly removed while yelling something that sound like "It's mine, mine, I tell you! I downloaded it this morning from Simviation!" ....

But it couldn't be OUR Silver1SWA, naaah, never....

No, not my first time. I've been pushing out pretty much since I started.

The photo was actually taken of the aircraft, not me haha. This is N202WN, SWA's second 737 without eyebrows. This aircraft, along with N201LV has been out for over a month now and it took about a month before I got to see a eyebrow-less 737 in person at work. It was driving me nuts. Haha...if one was scheduled while I was there, it would end up being swapped somewhere else for wahtever reason...and when they would come in, I would be off. Anyway, I kept my camera with me the whole time waiting for the day when one of them would come in. When that day finally came, I ended up working at the gate N202WN came in to. I wanted a shot from the neighboring jetway of it being pushed out since that is one of the best/favorite angles I like to get. So, I couldn't take the picture and had a coworker do it for me while I focused on my job and pushed it out.

We are now up to our 10th aircraft of the year, N205WN delivered a week ago.

It was the one thing thought that scared the heck out of me when I started...I could'nt believe I would be in control of a $35 million aircraft full of 137 passengers. But now, I absolutely love it. By far the best part of my job.

Yes, I do wish I was on the other end of that push. Someday...

I have, however, experienced it from the other end. Wink
