He isn't wrong. WAY too many of our pilots lack even a modicum of empathy towards our fellow aviators. Not even a notion of "but for the grace of god go I". They live in this Fantasyland of "it can never happen here", and "full pay till the last day."

"Keep Dean" is just a slogan on a bag tag but not a call to action for far too many of our pilots.

They are the one-airline wonders who have worked here and no place else. They've never endured furloughs or bankruptcies and are rather impressed with their prescient choice of airline. Not everyone thinks this way - but a vocal minority.

I don't want to lose my job either. I'm not so arrogant as to believe it can't happen here.

My unscientific poll is that 9 out of 10 quickly spiraled into a poo throwing contest directed at SWA (why would you want to fly for a Texas regional, the Guppy sucks, no retirements, etc). Pilots can be jerks no matter what uniform they wear.
