You are behind the times. Well not literally behind the NY Times.

The statement below is a complete fabrication by a NY Times reporter who is malevolent malcontent. This miscreant took total poetic license and is hiding behind the skirts of the fourth estate. It uncommon that an employee of an airline would ever grant an interview to any of these low lives.
"It's hard for me to feel sorry for them," said Capt. Jeffrey R. Hefner, the safety chairman of the union that represents pilots at Southwest Airlines, who have always flown longer hours than pilots at older airlines.

"They're a bunch of spoiled brats," he said. "Historically, this has been a really cushy job once you get to the majors. You make a lot of money and you don't have to fly a lot. But there had to be a market balancing at some point."
