Now in you're in a position to get to work, and people are forced to listen to you, instead of howling at the moon on an internet forum, which no matter how much you write, will never, ever move the needle to any degree.
"I've got kids/mil duty/outside gig/business/rentals....etc etc". Lots of people do those and still serve as a rep and make it work. Step up, because you will never, ever get the satisfaction you want posting here.
Hey, thanks for the advice.
I'll tell you one thing: before I started talking about the "book away phenomena" and explained why the President can't "shut us down," very few people at SWA seemed to understand those things. Maybe that hasn't really made a difference. Maybe it has.
Maybe I think working from the outside has its own advantages. Maybe you don't agree. That's fine. We see things differently.
