Honestly, it is scary and it should worry everyone...especially those few that love to bash SWA and find themselves in places like DAL, UAL, USAirways, etc, etc, etc. If it looks bad for us, then it must look rotten for you. Becareful what you wish for, SWA doing bad means everyone else is barely alive.
Is that the same B-scale that came to us courtesy of AA?
Tejas Jet,
I’ve been living in Dallas for two decades so I’m very familiar with what’s happening over at LUV and SWAPA.
The problem is LUV became too much of a political powerhouse to overcome (especially in Texas). You had both Hutchison and Cornyn in your back pocket.
We tried to stop you guys from screwing the rest of us, but unfortunately for the rest of us, APA was unsuccessful.
The problem with the action, or in some cases inaction, for Age 65 you all took was the adverse effect it has on the rest of the industry. It was completely short sighted and arrogant on SWAPA’s part. We are only now starting to pay the price.
All I can say to all the guys losing their jobs and moving backwards across our profession – is we tried and keep the faith.

Age 65 was a battle and crusade maintained in force over the last decade by a small group of Southwest pilots. SWAPA didn’t have the courage or the know how to put a stop to it before it got out of control. Now the rest of us are paying the price. Age 65 is screwing much of the industry and will for years to come. The blood is on your hands. Whose is the idiot – take a good look in the mirror.

SWApA had next to NOTHING to do with the actual change, although some of our guys like to take the credit.
You really need to get over it. That ship has sailed. Age 60 isn't ever coming back. All our careers have stagnated.
Does the phrase "Crying over spilled milk" sound familiar?
Dude did a SW pilot run off with you wife or something?
I guess you SWA-loathers with your midget sized mental capacity haven't figured it out, we are dropping 196 crappy short haul flights, adding 6 hi demand flights, and rejiggering all the rest to go for RASM.
In other words, more long haul, less short haul, fewer flights, same or more hours flown, higher RASM resulting in the same or higher pilot force requirements.
