Willie -

I hope you like life at GJ since guys like flaps 9 will be able to sabotage your career from their position at the majors.

At SWA, each prospective new hires' name is posted in the pilot's lounges across the system. It only takes one ex-TSA guy, or union buff to keep you from getting a job at SWA.

Imagine if one of the guys on the decision board was ex-TSA.

I understand that you justify what you did for yourself, but you have to know that no TSA guy will ever see it your way. That, ultimately, will be what gets you in the end.

Good luck.
