I didn't care about the airplane, the legs, or the hotels. I came for one reason and one reason only. Job security that is (was?) unparalleled among airline pilots.
After a bunch of furloughs and bouncing from airline to airline for 18 years I wanted a little security and I thought SW was the place to find it.
At the end of the day, it's just a job. I like to fly airplanes and stay within 2 time zones of home. I can do that here.
