And sorry SWA, but you guys don't make the cut either.

Looks like CAL and SWA will just have to keep telling their employees how great they are as it appears most believe it. Do CAL and SWA pilots get to take those banners home and put them up on their walls or does Larry and Gary come over each night and tuck you in?

Hopefully in 2009, the awards will cost CAL and SWA less and they can again afford to buy one.

Who cares?!?!?!

Only those who posted all those stickers on the doors and jetways of the planes. And those who put up all those 5 by 10 banners in the hallways. And the companies who plastered it all over their inflight magazines continuously, spoke about it on their commercials, bought bill boards bragging about it continually, printed it on their napkins. And repeatedly claimed they were the greatest places on Earth to work. SWA went so far as to write a book call NUTS. And CAL wrote one called from Worse to First.

And all their little goose stepping employees chanted the slogans.

JD Power and Associates. Fortune 100 Best Places to Work. Those awards are purchased. Sold as employee moral. And it works because the employees who thought they worked for those companies bragged about how great it was without any sense of reality.

So you are saying that CAL and SWA are not good companies to work for?
 
Still missing your point. There is only one airline in the list and it isn't even a passenger airline. No passenger airline made it. Can you elaborate?
 
I know SWA pulled themselves out of these magazine/poll "contests" several years ago because it involved taking time filling out paperwork, giving tours, getting interviewed, etc etc and they felt it would be a better use of employees' time not to help a magazine create a sensation article. Anytime one of these magazine or poll outfits calls SWA headquarters, SWA basicly tells them to take a hike, they have an airline to run.
