My bad.

You really need to watch the whole video to get the full creepiness of this prank....
In the spirit of comic relief, here's a few things not to do during your gate PA:

From the SWA guys I've talked to lately, that's exactly what has happened. They're overstaffed, and the opportunity for premium pay has dropped substantially.

Much like Delta when open time drops SW pilots start grabbing what they can at straight rates instead of 1.5 rates. The huge difference between SW and Delta is they have no cap so you can pick up to FAR limits at straight rates. That leads to rushing every flight to keep block hours down and allow for more trips for pay under their system.

Odd that an overstaffed airline would be in the midst of hiring.

Hey guys, just verify for me that vacation counts towards the green slip trigger.
