The kool aid must taste good. Being senior must help. Tell your ra ra tale to the guys that will get screwed in the next couple of years. You can't suck up $600,000,000.00 a year without giving a black eye to someone in the company. How proud will you be when you have to sacrifice a group to the fuel Gods? I really wish nothing but the best. I have more than a few friends there. Time will tell. You have to admit that someone is about to take a severe pounding. We'll see when things go down, who is willing to take the hit. Hugs and kisses while you can stomach it.HA !!! Unlike others, SWA's management didn't talk furloughs, or look for pay/benefit cuts as other have.
Seems that is the first place all the others go. SWA will work this out internally, and unlike Ferris, lorenzo, Wolf, Goodwin, Tilton, Mullin, Allen, Carty, Shugrue, Siegel, Steenland, Arpey, Creighton and others, you will see that the management here will not be out to screw the employees while they run away with millions in bonus money paid for by their employees.
The mood around here is not one of gloom and doom ( as much as some would like it to be). Yesterday's party was as crowded as ever with employees and their guests enjoying themselves, and there wasn't any crying in the beer, as we all had lots of fun.
Remember, SWA has in their past, slowed and even stopped growth. From January 2002-January 2004, SWA only hired 300+ pilots. We still showed profits...employees were still hired ( albeit, slower) and the morale was still high.
The weekly deck parties continued, as did the Annual Awards Banquet, as did the Hangar parties that we have a couple of times a year.
As much as some would like to see it here, I really don't think that you will see the same type of "destruction" at SWA that we've seen in the rest of the industry.
