I'm sure AirTran folks are professional. I'm just saying that there will probably be some serious stress in those cockpits which could lead to problems.

Some are company problems. Some are pilot group problems. Some are big glaring problems and some are not so big. Were I hired someplace where I felt I could make a difference and make things better, that's what I would try to do. If I were hired at SWA, there would be many fences to mend by many people.
