As an executive at another airline, I would care about my planes getting sent around, cut-out, or put in danger. Those things have the potential of costing you thousands of dollars. But hey, when your the CEO at CAL, you could just let them do it and take pay cuts for your pilots to make up for it....just an idea.
Pelican,
Now remember I am trying to take a deep breath and relax. I am starting to doubt your description of the incident in Seattle that you described. It went from you having to slam on the brakes and being cutoff (which again I would disaprove of) to "almost" a class "A" mishap. With no confirmation from the tower after you called them back that a conflict existed I am getting the feeling that your story has been embellished. Now calm down, I am not calling you a liar. I just believe you are trying to make your point. Only you and your fellow crewmember can know for sure.
P.S. Just as I have told others if there is any negative bias (which I think I have been observing) in your posts towards Little 'ol SWA in the future I will call you on it. For the time being though I will have to believe that your comment about not having any gripes about SWA is truthful.
