‘I think I’ve rather have more pilots on the list in an industry that is known to furlough when there’s a hiccup…. Flexibility at Southwest is hard to beat, I cannot and refuse to dispute that. Ability to make money at Southwest is hard to beat, I too will not refute that….

But I make good money as is, enjoy the variety of flying that United offers..
