I get the same question.
Although there was a time that i thought that that brown airline was the hot chick at the party, they disqualified me without ever meeting me (hogan test).
SWA actually meets with you and gets to know you and I'm forever grateful for that.
I've always thought it was "funny" too that the people that are "too deep in the forest to see the trees" think that an individual can just show up at UAL's headquarters, e.g. and avow "i'm ready for class!"
Like it's THAT easy. GMAFB
Same with me and UAL. Got Hogan'd. Not interested in reapplying now that I'm here.
I live in a large UAL base too. But Southwest also has a large base here and guess where I'm based.... I drive to work and do not commute. Can't beat that!
And all those who ask us why we aren't at Delta for example, I simply point out that given upgrade times there, it's not too late for them to go either...
