Because over the course of an entire career in an industry filled with uncertainty (ie. risk) and companies lead by crap mgmt teams that regularly go bankrupt, I want to work for the one company that has shown a profit each year for 42 CONSECUTIVE years, has never come close to bankruptcy, and refused to furlough any of it's crews in the wake of 9/11.
Oh yeah, one more thing. It's customers are as devoted to the company as Apple customers are to Apple.
I'm 100% certain that SWA will still be here 20-30 years from now. Can you say the same about any of the others? Based on what facts?
