Just ask a United pilot about how happy they are with their culture. Just ask an AA pilot about their culture. Just ask a Continental pilot about their culture. Just ask a Delta/NWA pilot about their culture. Just ask a Frontier pilot about their culture. Just ask a Lynx pilot about the RAH culture. I don't look to anybody else to make my life and my families life the best I can make it. I don't ask the government and I don't ask my employer.

I would rather clean out sceptic tanks than fly corporate. I don't want to substantially shorten my life expectancy by flying boxes around the world in the middle of the night babysitting an autopilot. I am not rich enough nor musically talented enough to afford my own B757 with my rock bands logo painted on the tail that I fly around the world to my next gig. (NOT a jab at Iron Maiden, they are great stuff, I grew up with them) I am NOT passing judgement on anybody for what career choices they make. They are their choices.

(Just added that last disclaimer, lest the flame throwing begin)

For me, I will gladly keep treading water in the SWA pool.
