My guess is that SWA doesnt care too much whether we feel deceived or misled, or that some ill feelings were born of all this. I think they dont care because they know if they were to schedule another screen/job fair/pony ride, many hopefuls would do the very same thing again....That should tell much about this company and how it has changed since the great Herb passed on. Howser out.

That event wasn't for wannabes. It was meant as signal to those with signs in DAL around their necks. The message was "you are replaceable".
The problem is the message also said "...this company is not the same company that hired you..." Long after the new deal is inked, and it will be at some point, the message that will linger will be the latter one.
One thing you learn in this industry is that regardless of what management says, your real allies are your coworkers, not management. It seems like SWA pilots for years thought they were "different" than the rest of the industry. The fact APA and ALPA pilots were picketing alongside SWAPA pilots should show that we are all pretty much in the same business now.
