Ya know, just speaking hypothetically.
Here's a little blast from the past for you. Keep your own words in mind when you hypothesize;
"There was no "caring" from SWA - it was business -and that is the way it was. The sooner you realize, while SWA is a fantastic place to work, it really is just business, the better (imo). Gary (or Herb) isn't your dad and this isn't a "family" - it's a business and we are hourly employee's." 4th Level.
You not getting what you want, does not equate to 'destroying a culture'. It equates to grown men and women acting like a four year old who didn't get the other kids ice cream.
