Wrong! swa's prices KILLED the industry.

Oh goody, more inane drivel from the idiot king. It's called business and SWA is winning. Get over not getting hired, if you were a decent person you MIGHT have passed the interview, you are not and you FAILED. Get over it!!

Sorry...nice try!

A lot of us in the 90's weren't going to front SWA its training costs when the best paying and largest airlines were hiring instead. So the hate isn't from not being hired....I sure would be pi$$ed though if I had to get a type to interview and couldn't fit the Herb Turd mold.....

SWA IS winning (for now)....re-read my statement above.....what goes around, comes around!!

One thing I've learned in this business: don't count on any aircraft until you are plugging your headset into it.

Actually getting the type has absolutely nothing with SWA's training. Where I got my type wasn't even close to using SWA's training or procedures. And my type didn't cost me a dime.

Can you tell us when this is gonna happen? People have been making that prediction....oh....since 1971. Actually since 1968 when even Braniff, Continental and Texas International keeping SWA in court for 3 years didn't keep SWA from getting off the ground.

You rememebr that, don't you?

On June 17th, 1971, Kelleher argued in front of the Texas Supreme Court because Braniff and Texas International had filed yet one more court brief to keep SWA from making their first flight. Kelleher won the court decision, and as you no doubt remember,the next morning, SWA made their first flight from DAL-SAT.

I can remember a FA telling me that SWA would never make it in the Northeast because they "couldn't fly in snow". See, that FA made a prediction too....based on.... ?

Is your prediction based on the same information that FA had or is it based on....wishing....and....hoping...and even praying ?

????? What us giving everyone jumpseat when they did not have one to give back? Us letting multiple j/s on even thought we did not get it in return?

For helping w/ wheelchairs, a lost kid? Please tell me about your (what comes around goes around)? I have a saying for you my brother. KARMA IS A BITCH........................

Aww gee thanks Slaquer....the industry is SO much better because of you SWA guys!!! (that's what you wanted to hear right?) Thanks for the the Jumpseat, you guys rock! (Another thing you wanted to hear right?)

BTW, Your welcome when you get a zed next to nothing fare to Europe like your SWA OAK Chief Pilot who passed on his card "in case we need anything".....kind gesture, glad to have him, but I wouldn't have brought it up until an arrogant A-hole like yourself starts schooling me on Karma...BITCH!

Thanks to you I can get to 68 cities in the US....and I can....aww nevermind, you guys are still the coolest leather wearing aces of the base!!

Get over yourself hero....tap your fellow pilot in your 737 on the shoulder and ask him if he bought a type...you'd be the exception that didn't!!

Look at Delta 15-20 years ago....we were the Family airline, we were the most employee friendly, we WERE the highest paid....it goes around man...you are the guys mahogany row gun for....good luck in the future....

Your brown stain just appeared around Boston and LGA, Let's see how things work out there for ya....kinda like the mx and fat guys....you can't hide from it!!

Lumberg, you are one bitter mofo. Get over it, you'll get another shot.


With all the complaining, arguing, bickering, etc atc, about how crappy the industry is, I've yet to see anyone do anything to change it. So b1tch and moan all you want, it's not gonna change a dam thing.
