I don't fly Southwest Airlines very often but one unique characteristic I have witnessed time and time again is their obsession with getting the plane emptied after arriving at the gate. I don't think the wait has ever been more than 30 seconds!

I wish United (my usual airline of choice) and others added a little more importance to this portion of the flight.
