After reading this thread I realized two things:
1) I was imagining things when I watched SW takeoff with windshear warnings in all quadrants in Feb 2002 in Buffalo. I also must of imagined myself and 5 other airlines waiting 30+ minutes at the end of the runway for conditions to meet FOM and my personal guidelines.
2) I 'imagined' the above because I am madly jealous that I was never hired at LUV. This most likely occurred because I lack the skill to work with 'others'. I hold this jealousy deep in my soul despite having never applied to work there.
