I wish more airlines did this. It's easy to forget what us rampers have to go through to keep these planes on schedule and keep everyone from the passengers to the crew happy

I used to work as a ramp agent for American. I know how tough that job is. I've been hailed on, rained on, snowed on, you name it. I've deiced planes in whiteout conditions. I have the upmost respect for ramp agents, and when I am a pilot, I will take that respect with me. It is something I will never forget.

Wow that’s really great to see pilots and the ramp crews interacting and to know their jobs. Great job Southwest!!!

Southwest Airlines is first rate and first class.

Very cool to see. Great to see the interaction between the pilots and the rampers is in good standing. Everybody has mutual respect for eachother, that is why I LUV SWA! :)

Next on southwest: Ground crew fly planes

Oh that’s what happened the other day with the hard landing!! The tampers were flying!! It was one of those days!

It is a great experience to see the whole operation. Kudos to those Rampers! keep up the good work, you guys turn planes around fast!!!!

first officer always comes down to conduct a walk around inspection of the plane therefore they do see the ramp agents every time they land

Gary Kelly and the upper staff should do a day in the field at MDW this winter

It"s a good idea but you should have the Ramp Management with C/S Management get in the bins for a Week or Six and have them work short handed like it really happens. See how that works for them.

Should let me be a pilot for the day. :)

I love Southwest pilots!

THIS is a great idea.

Rampers have always done great landings on my baggage (never an incident). Now smooth landings from the pilots... That has never been 100% :D, but they all have been great landings as we get off the plane safe and the plane keep on flying! LUV SWA!

Great airline!

That was awesome

Respect

Nice! I'm the 737 viewer of this video!

This is cool, wish they would do this at Delta!

So that’s why it’s so slow the pilot is doing baggage and isn’t in the cockpit

Now the ramp agents should try flying

9 years later, I think all airlines should require a system such as this, but I don’t think Ramp Agents should be flying the Plane. 😂

So will you let the ramp agent fly the ✈️.

good😉

This should be required for the job!!

Now lets see the rampers fly the airplanes, haha

0:11 they should have rampers fly the plane

hola

no magic carpets in those 737's. That sucks

THANK GOD ALL SOUTHWEST PLANES ARE BOEING ....IF IT IS NOT BOEING I AM NOT GOING!

you dont know much about the way an airline works do you?

Do they still do this? I bet those poor pilots went home and used entire bottles of Icy Hot! 😂😂😂😂 It's definitely not an easy job!

I feel worse for pilots. Decades of super low wages getting flight hours and certifications under your belt to become a pilot for even a regional carrier.

Gee, since it was supposedly so beneficial to those pilots to see how the other half works, did the ramp agents get to fly aircraft with passengers for long hours to gain from that perspective? What's next? Flight attendants repairing engines or avionics?
