As for culture, I had an interesting talk awhile back with a really senior SWA captain. Only talked to him for about 15 mins, but he seemed like a really good/intelligent guy. He said the culture has changed. The same can do, lets have a good time attitude has changed to one of entitlement and arrogance. He also talked about a lot of waste. Like having more CP/Asst. CPs than was necessary sitting around doing nothing, making mucho dinero.

Before some SW pilot jumps down my throat, no I never interviewed at SW and yes I wish I made what you make$$$
Once again the argument that "they cut me off" is moot. I have been cut off by just about every airline out there (see post #48 in this thread). That is not exclusive to SWA pilots alone.
