RJS,
Please re-read my post. You are attributing to me personally a viewpoint that I never said I espoused, ie-you are calling me a pull up the ladder kind of guy, screw those below me, and having voted for TA2 and the 108 TFP comparison to legacies lie.
I don't know you and you don't know me so please don't confer onto me me personally things that were never said by me to be my personal beliefs. My post simply states what I believe -- that if it comes time to vote for a reduction in line guarantee that as a group most people will vote in their own financial self interest and that a vote like that would not pass.
As for me personally, I have over 11 years to go in this industry but I could retire tomorrow and live a very comfortable life financially due to 30+ years of living well below my means and investing long term. So, depending on the fine details of the scenario presented I would probably vote YES to a TEMPORARY reduction in line guarantee to keep everyone at SWA employed.
