So for all the doom and gloom being posted on this and other boards, it was nice to see a close friend "make it".. at least for now
Not to be SkyHigh here or downplay your friend's achievements (Because lord knows I would -LOVE- to land a job at SWA that quick). Your friend's successs story could QUICKLY turn in to one of those typical doom and gloom stories. All it takes is SWA taking a nosedive, or some unforseen world changing event and his beautiful career that he has to look forward to could come to a crashing halt... I really hate to agree with the doom and gloomers but you have to realize that they have a very valid point... most of them anyways...
