Wow. What an arrogant statement. Where were you in the years post-9/11 when SWA, JetBlue, and FDX were the only games in town? Oh yes, that's right, you were only 9 years old, younger than my own children are now. Your naivete is showing through in a big way.

I read your posts recently (before your UAL offer) where you were looking at regional airlines. Should we take this to mean that had you not gotten an offer by UAL, that you would not even consider SW or JB?

Most pilots would be thrilled with those two "regional airlines" as you call them, in addition to UAL/AAL/DAL and several others. You sure are full of yourself. For your sake, I hope you make it through training unscathed.
