SWAcapt,

Respectfully, your background and experiences are uncommon and are not very relevant to this topic. The rest of us have had to self fund our flight training and have had to suffer years of wages less than 10K per year before making it to a regional. Any one of us would love to trade places with you. I would even give the lord 12% if he could secure me a sweet position at SWA. You have had a dream career that has always paid well. We are poor and facing a career without the SWA pay scale and that is the stress that Flybye is referring to. The stress of having a crushing debt load erase your dreams and endanger your financial life. I would you suggest you try walking a mile in these shoes before you criticize.
