They also get their hand held through their short regional career by having unlimited access to mentors who know a thing or two about the business and how to maintain success. Good for them, no hate, but you’re delusional if you think “60 hours of of Seminole time” is the real standard at Southwest. GMAFB.

Right place, right time. It’s better to be lucky than good.
