I cant tell you how many people i flew with during the pandemic who were salivating over the prospect of one of the legacies folding and SW still standing when the dust settles. When i argued that would result in tens of thousands of pilots out of work i was told some drivel about winners and losers and how thats competition. I was dumbfounded how any pilot could wish ill will on a fellow aviator.

I was disappointed that we werent better than that. I dont know if we have the high ground here.
