Don't Want To Work At Southwest Or Alaska If The Following Is True

Bottom line is that you had to be a complete idiot to be Making $400K loan for a 2,000 SF house with no money down while making $50K/year especially when the house was "worth" $200K 2 years ago. Can't prove your income? No problem, just sign here and promise me you're making that and we got a deal. Here's your money.

Stupid cuts both ways. And we (everyone but the bankers) end up having to pay.

How about a good mainline vs regionals thread? Something at least flight-related.

I hear that all pilots (incl. former) from XJ are dumber than a box of hair and Delta should never hire them. Is that true? Discuss.

What is silly is that Airtrannies are actually trying to complain about seniority. They are half a decade away from the soup line without the SWA deal. Take the money and STFU.

Some people are always looking to
Get ahead at the expense of others.
The American public doesn't want to
Fly with somebody that took a "short-
Cut" to the Left Seat.

Pay your dues, put in.your time,
Learn your profession and acquire
The seniority,on your own, to earn
Your Captain's Seat.

Some things just are not
For sale.Jackwagon.

You make my point. As soon as you have the qualifications and aptitude to get hired at SWA you can start earning your way into a SWA left seat. Not a moment before. The fact that your airline was vulnerable and cheap does not give you rights to fly a purple airplane around with our passengers.

Al Jazeera. "Enough said?" What, exactly, is enough said? Al Jazeera is a news network based in Doha, Qatar, and features both Arab and western news cast/hosts. Or are you just like the many thousands of ignorant Americans who hears an Arabic-phrase and instantly thinks "terrorists!" Take your paranoia elsewhere, al Jazeera is a news network and this 737 documentary is actually pretty good.

Yeah, give us all a break. Al Jazeera just loves the USA (sarcasm intended). What could their motivation have been to produce this documentary, with all the sinister sounding background music, are they safeguarding the public's safety? No, it's obviously intended as a shot at the US. The information presented is superficial and anecdotal at best. And the 3 crashes they made example of were presented in a very twisted way. Those planes broke up because they crashed (Hello!), they didn't crash because they broke up!!! And how many times can they get away with showing pictures of Embraers while talking about the 737? ZERO!!!

And as far as the original post is concerned, I doubt Soutwest or Alaska hire many fans of Al Jazeera.

Let's chalk it up to personal responsibility instead of blaming the boogeyman, bankers, rich people, etc. Bottom line is that you had to be a complete idiot to be taking $400K loan for a 2,000 SF house with no money down while making $50K/year especially when the house was "worth" $200K 2 years ago. Can't prove your income? No problem, just sign here and promise me you're making that and we got a deal. Here's your money. Now don't forget to get your credit card limits increased so you can outfit the house with everything pottery barn. After all, you only need to pay the minimum every month. When the house doubles in value in 3 years, you'll be rich.
It's all about "Free will." If it appears to be too good to be true, it probably is. Personal responsibility is apparently a foreign concept for many in this world.

Sad state we live in when no one can take responsibility for their own actions.

And the wall treat bankers still granting themselves $billions in bonuses- when do they get to be responsible?
This thread will be in the NAChat section soon enough as you guys continue to stick up for the immorally rich
