I was at Mesa 2003-2008. I bought the SWA style jacket (Mesa did not really care at least not then) I would make the joke "Its the Southwest jacket if I can't have a good job I can dress like I have one". It is warm, it still looks good after being pulled from an overhead bin after a commute and you can pull the wings, name tag and eppilets off and wear it on the overnights. BTW I went to Air Tran, I cross over to SWA in Sept. and I still have the jacket. If you can afford it its great and practical.
