I have been with Southwest for 5+ years and we've been dogged out by other airilines the whole time. When I started we were made fun of because we were the lowest paid, had no pension etc. Now we're dogged out by a lot of people because the company's financial prudence has helped them weather a nasty storm, so far anyway. So no matter what Southwest does everyone lines up to get in their licks. Weird, huh?
Believe me, the pilots at Southwest are a very humble group. Everyone knows success today can turn into failure tomorrow. We're happy for our succeses but we know if sit on our a**es someone will eat our lunch.
