Seriously, hope they'll bring the SWA passes for you guys soon - it's bad what that non-rev'ing person did but it feels harsh to punish all employees from an entire airline for it.... If it makes y'all feel any better, I don't think we at big brown even get those passes (at least I don't think we do?) - we don't give SWA any shipping discount so no discount from them either... Of course, we don't get any employee discount either... So at least we treat everyone the same as we treat ourselves...
You should note that the Captains in the sixties lost the ability to fly until they couldn't pass a physical due to the manadatory retirement age of sixty being implemented.
