Default This ever happen to you?

Maybe its just me ......but I don't think so.
Seems like everywhere I go in the USA that SWA goes
there is gross preferential treatment toward Southwest.

Just the other day I was in Tampa. I had to wait until
4 SWA jets took off before I could go.
Mind you that I was at the end of runway long before them.
And I was ready to go.

I am getting very tired of SWA being my pushy neighbor.
Most all ATC people are "paid off" by SWA anyway.
That is NOT the way that the system was designed.

For those of you that don't know the facts, here they
are:
Every year SWA goes to each and every ATC facility
across the country. There is a lavish party thrown complete
with massive amounts af alcohol , free tickets, drawings for many
free items. Such as l very expensive gift certificates and flat screen
televisions, just to name a few.

Now I thought the entire USA airspace is first come first served?

I guess it is more like: The most free stuff given out is served first.

I try to do my part and taxi as slow as possible when SWA is behind me.
I suggest you do the same.

I did get a SWA to go around because I slowed way down early
and took my sweet a$$ time getting off the runway.

I bet those guys were ****ed! GOOD .

SWA your days are coming when the rest of the people
in the sky are fed up with your actions.
