You may believe in the brotherhood of aviators, but the corporate types have their own agendas. Only a fool woukd believe otherwise.

And rightfully so. You don't go into a highly competitive market with unicorns and rainbows, afraid of hurting someone's feelings. If folks got butthurt over this, oh well. If it takes this for them to get fired up, they were already in a bad place.

The corporate types are “in it to win it”. That’s their job.

I didn’t mean to single you out SlimBob. More of a general observation on these boards. It’s a nasty industry...I get that

Of course this is expected out of corporate types. Seeing pilots gleeful at another pilots expense is something different. Like I said, it makes me cringe. I’m pretty sure I’m not ‘fired up’ or ‘butthurt’ as you say....just a general observation. Do you wanna enlighten me some more Boomer? And this wasn’t directed at anyone at Southwest. FYI

Boomer...Wasn't referring to you at all. It was more towards those that got all fired up when MGMT put up the fish in the crew lounge. Southwest wanted to go in there and change the market. Nobody I've talked to wanted or wants to see job losses. Period.

Of course they are... So consider those of us at SWA either lucky, smart, or both in decision to come here.

How’d that prediction work out. You’ve suddenly disappeared from APC. You must be busy updating your apps for the Big Three.

I hope it pays off in the long run.

Ok, now you can hammer me with the doom and gloom.
You should check the list in the middle of the night.
