SKW is a company that I wouldn't mind working at if they had any domiciles that I'd consider. They might look a little less on the $$$ amount per hour but they make more than most in the long run. I don't see any company as a company I envy though. I simply see things in their contract I want in mine. I like their employee purchase plan for the stock. I've seen some complain here how they aren't seeing that big of a bump in their program but they don't realize the deal they are getting is one of the best out there. I'm not just talking about the airline industry. My sister and bro-in-law both are higher ups in IBM and their plan is no better.
You could ask the same for others though. Why do so many envy XJT? Why do so many envy RAH?
I must say however that I am amazed how civil this thread has managed to stay for this long. Kudos to all of you!
