Not SWA. Not even remotely close.

Or just hire the best pilots that you can get along with for four days in a metal tube.

It’s almost as if the actual flying is more trainable than attitude, cultural fit, empathy, and personal values.

The most technically proficient pilot doesn’t necessarily make the best contribution to the organization.

It certainly doesn't help these days. I guess today's white male needs to pay for years of discrimination. That'll show all those people from the 60s who are now dead.

Wasn't a pilot during the lost decade, so I think you have me classified wrong. Still doesn't make me shake my head when I see people get passed over for having "too much experience"
