As a new hire and after I ran out of kool aid I still like it. At first it was shocking that most everyone was upset with the company but this was do to negotiations taking 4 yrs. even then no one ever said anything bad about fellow workers. That part is what I think sets sw apart. No one feels they are above another work group. Everyone treats each other well and goes out of their way to help another. After the contract there is less *****ing but the trust is gone.
I don't think there is an airline out there today who has a good relationship with their pilots. A decade or more of being screwed over and told if you don't like it leave we can replace you mentality by corporate is not easily forgotten.
