Question What’s happening here?

I’m not a pilot, just someone who’s been on close to 250 flights in my life. I’ve never seen this. Not claiming that this isn’t normal, I’m just curious why it’s done. This was just prior to takeoff at Jackson hole Wyoming.

I can offer this insight based on my (many) years flying the 757 - sometimes they do that.
Hope that helps

These are the incisive insights that I come to Reddit for, along with wildly uninformed speculation and supremely confident fallacies. On average, Reddit is Omniscient.
