Or do they save that treatment for Ferd?

Very rich people are on to SWA and their maltreatment of kittens though. Their days are coming to an end.The Jerk - Cat Juggling - YouTube

Because while we've all been waiting in line for 25R for the last half hour, here comes SWA launching early from B1. How do they get away with that? Don't give me this release time BS - **** that. (In all seriousness, I have no problem with SWA)

In my first squadron, our mascot was a viper (actually a boa constrictor). The snake got pretty big over time and mice wouldn't cut it anymore. Our snake managing Lt would only answer the ads that said kittens free to good home. He's a SW capt. True story, they kill kittens.
Pretty sure their center console has a kitten sacrificial alter. Its a good place to put your feet or a can of water if you have to jumpseat.
