"SWA did not meet my needs therefore I did not apply."

Yeah, but if that's the case, and SWA is a good job (your own words), you pretty much lose the right to incessantly bash the career as a useless proposition. How do you expect folks to believe your bashing of the career when you turn about and say you'd rather walk away from flying than work for SWA as a pilot? That draws zero sympathy from me. Does anyone think that makes sense?

99.9% of the folks looking to be an airline pilot when they grow up would think SWA to be a worthy job. Yet, here you are, trying to talk us out of it and tell is it's not worthy our time. It just wasn't worth YOUR time. Leave the rest of us out of YOUR career decisions.
