I know there are douchbags out there. All I'm saying is that if you walk into the cockpit with a preconceived notion of how a trip is going to be based on an individual's background, then it's no wonder you've become so jaded in this career.
My "jadedness" has more to do with the way SWAPA & SWA management handled the SLI. I don't think I need to elaborate anymore on that.
Yes, that is the single seat mentality. The vast majority of ex-AF pilots I've flown with at SWA are exactly that.
