I once had SWA as my #2.
Yall never called. However, it was your culture and all my buddies that worked there that made it a destination.
You all are still the nicest most welcoming to offline jumpseaters by far, but the deep belief in SWA culture isn’t there in crews and rampers at least.
I do think it can come back, like I believe Delta can come back to what it was (we arent as premium anymore as we think we are).
The good news for both of us is that I believe SWA and Delta can weather a round of carpetbagging managers. It may be rough for the next few years though if this downturn ever kicks in. DAL and SWA are still my long term stock picks in airlines.
cheers bros!
