I know it's a tough pill to swallow, but it needs to be done. The sooner, the better.
Sorry, brother, but I can't agree with this cliche piece of advice.
While this may be true for you, it's not true for everyone. SWA has a high commuter rate. There's approx 4000 reasons why commuters commute. Every one of us who chooses to has on multiple occasions spent nights in a crash pad or sat waiting as #3 or more for the jumpseat during a wx or mx delay and evaluated whether or not it's worth it.
