Definitely....

Accepting all those pilots knowing 2/3rds of the aircraft they work on are being sold.

Most people get sick of walking around with a chip on their shoulder after a few years.

This, everyday of the week and weekends too.

If you read how many times our economy has gone into recession in our brief 250 year history, the results will shock you; 47 times!
But on the sunny side, SWA is probably the best place anyone would want to be when one happens!

Watch the last 10 minutes of the movie “Margin Call”. The speech by the CEO to Kevin Spacey says it all. “We (Wall Street) can’t help ourselves”.

It's say it's the Big Mac.

It's not called a "mac attack" for nothing.

Yup brought nothing to the Table for the SW pilots but you should most definitely have gotten all the Captain seats along with giant raises and better work rules.

It must suck that you didn't get all those captain seats how about we just give you a million dollars more than you would have made at a smaller carrier and ****. Because last time I checked the SW pilots got nothing. No extra pay, no bonus, no stock options just delayed movement and more people that came in on top of them.

Funny thing is most are over it but you keep that chip on your shoulder as I am sure it is making you lots of friends.
