I'm getting a lanyard for my ID that says "I don't talk politics at work."

It's gonna be a long 3 months.

Really? That's pretty funny. How does it go over?

If anyone wonders exactly how much SWA wants to avoid furloughs and/or layoffs, VSP and EXTO is apparently a $1.7Bn expense, per mid-year business update from GK. So, that's how much.

Ooo!! I love it when politics come up.

Perfect time to deliver my rehearsed, somewhat passive aggressive speech on why I have neither the time nor interest in the subject.

The reaction is similar to a child being told there will be no Christmas.

I almost feel bad. Almost.

most guys laugh. My politics probably align with, and are even more radically that way, than 90% of the guys on our seniority list. It's just so damn boring talking about things that outside voting every two years we've got zero influence over.

i'd rather talk about cars I can't afford, women the captain can't afford, and the stuff we like to do when we aren't at work.
