Some airlines (and airports) forbid starting engines at the gate. Most of the time at SWA, the ground crew was still doing stuff almost up until the door shut. Might be easier with the ERJ since the engines are on the tail, but starting #2 on the 737 causes a few problems since it's RIGHT next to the baggage doors.
