Man, you're really going to win people over with that attitude. I'd love to be there when a captain eats you alive.
I'm not in any way defending Southwest, but when you look at what they pay first year compared to Continental, United and others you're going to have that type rating paid for in about 5 months. Neither way is right but the low first year pay and no bennies like you have at CO is far worse in my mind.
Times haven't changed, and you still can't buy experience.
