Now, I'm not saying that all SWA guys are spoiled, nor am I saying it's even a large (or even small) minority...but those aren't the guys posting in this thread....
It's for the guys who:
Were football/soccer/lacross/whatever jocks in high school
Went to State U and went OCS, slid through UPT and got their first choice on the dream sheet, did their 10, and went right to SWA
-or-
Slid out of whatever puppy mill they went to right into the right seat of a jet, hit the timing right, upgraded in 12 months, and onto SWA in 3 years.
Bascially, it's the guys (or gals) that have always been the "bright stars" and have never been told "no" in their whole career. Now that there's been a speedbump, oh boy, it ain't fair!
Well, life is like that. Just deal.
