Gary Kelly Ain't Waitin' for the DOJ!!

This AAI thing is the worst thing to happen to a SW pilot's career since SW started........ See, luck has everything to do with it. I got lucky to get hired at a stable company. The AAI guys got lucky enough to be bought by a stable company. I was unlucky enough to be at the stable company that bought AAI.

So you're Even Steven.

wow, what a troll!!!!!! Just ask the former PanAm, Eastern, Branif and the countless others how lucky they felt to get on with their "dream" ailrline.
It goes without saying that you have to be a professional with perseverance to get by in this industry but when it’s all over said and done, no one survives without luck and timing. We are blue collar workers, slave to other people’s decision making and the flow of the economy.

For everyone else, sorry to state the obvious….

I'm not sure where your animosity is coming from, and I'm not sure why I even bother responding to you...

But....

You've obviously not been around this industry too long. It appears that you are one of the delusional "The best of the best of the best" kind of guys.

You're saying that the guys that got turned down by SW are somehow "inferior" to those that got hired? Every person at the interview was qualified to be there. At that point, you're interview skills are the only thing that mattered, and that has very little to do with anything we do in the cockpit. I can name a bunch of great guys that got turned down here, and also name a bunch of complete aholes that got hired. It all comes down to the luck of the draw. If you believe otherwise, then I feel sorry for you.

There is little rhyme or reason for who gets hired where. I guess the many 500 hour wonders that UAL hired when I couldn't even get an interview were "better" than I? Even though I was vastly more experienced and qualified, I couldn't even get an interview until I hit 7k hours.

I certainly wasn't "good enough" to even interview at DAL (thank God!) since I only have an AS degree, 5 type ratings (current and qualified in the 737) and 10k hours plus (at the time) notwithstanding.

This industry is a crap shoot. No one knows the outcome until they retire.

You stupid POS........

Well said and applies to all airlines. Isn't it interesting that the few who think they are the "best" usually end up being some of the weakest.

Really? What have I typed that isn't true?

Do you actually think you're "better" than a guy that got turned down? You got lucky and beat the odds. Period.

Lemme guess........ WN is your first and only airline, right?

LOL... Says the guy calling another professional "stupid POS". Do you really think you're "better" than anyone else? How does that translate into keeping the industry down?

Talk about "critical" thinking......

Emptying the lav doesn't count for those 15 years btw, neither does FTeen time.

Nor flight instructing or flying canceled checks . . . not germaine to this discussion. You obviously don't have 15 years in as an airline pilot, or you wouldn't be making such stupid, sweeping statements.

What is wrong with tripowers critical thinking skills? He made a very coherent and accurate point. Anyone that thinks he is better because of the airline he flies for has delusions of grandeur to say the least. I think his point is very clear and spot on. If you think you are "better" because you fly for SWA you are only fooling yourself.

I completely agree.

You obviously don't have 15 years in as an airline pilot, or you wouldn't be making such stupid, sweeping statements.

You're right, I have over 24 years as a scheduled 121 airline pilot and 2 years in the 135 world.

What "sweeping and stupid statements" have I made?
