This was my experience flying out of SNA on Southwest in March. The pilots explained the procedure ahead of time. To me it's just louder than a standard take off.It is still SOP for Southwest, but the Pilots also explain it. All it is they take off a bit steeper then level off a bit and reduce power until the shoreline. There is no “sensation” that you feel other than it is just a bit different procedure than a continuous power climb thay most are expecting.
SNA is really easy to manage -- small, quick, short lines -- while LAX is a bear and it's sooooo much farther away from DLR. The time I'd spend on the road isn't worth the money I'd potentially save if the LAX flight were cheaper.
