It's the nature of the beast, ask the former NWA guys how the Republic thing worked out.

Tsquare, you don't even have a dog in this fight. You seem to be spooled up about my post though. The age reference was just there to illustrate that two guys the same age hired at roughly the same time end up with ten years between them and the original SWA guy loses out. This ain't DAL and NWA. The disparity is much greater. You are right, I have no control over it. I do have an opinion just as you have yours.
We've walked in your shoes since SWA was a startup(Western, Pan Am, NWA) and have done a pretty good job, imo. You have a record (from well before your time) of Muse and Morris...

We do have a dog in this fight. My airline needs a rational industry with good competition. We need you (LUV/AAI) to be successful, just as we need UAL/CAL to be successful. Our profession can ill afford another version of AWA/AAA, where an irrational competitor like LCC is allowed to undercut us due to labor stupidity. What happens on your property affects others, just like the AMR B-scale.

Enjoy the decaf, and show some LUV...
