I wonder how long this one will take to "disappear".....SWA bashing! YEAH BABY!

[jonjuan]

The more I hear from her, the more I really respect her......Yes, she knows that she didn't get hired at WN, but then again, many good folks didn't, either. So she's a little bitter-simply a good woman scorned. I am sure General Lee was pissed he didn't feel the luv either.

Coming from a puddle pirate? I am sure you entire family is proud of your "service to your country."

Talk about uncalled for! How about an apology for this one?

 

[vetteracer]

You have got to be kidding.

Im sorry to break this to you..But it really isnt all about you.

Dont complain about YOUR personal choices that dont happen to work out for you.
Your choice of where you live and when you deviate from your scheduled trips are problems created by you.

Grow up and move along.

AMEN. It's SWA fault when your life is not on schedule ?? They should leave a seat open on every plane just in case you need one, even for a time not marked on your ticket ??

You show up late, can't make your flight, dog dies, you work late, etc etc, IS NOT ANYBODIES FAULT BUT YOURS? You bought a ticket for a certian space in time. If you are not there, then it is your problem.

OK, OK, I DO apologize for that. After looking at it again, not meant (except for the puddle pirate comment). Thanks for serving.

I know the original intent of this thread has long since been ignored, but what the heck, I'll try to lead it back.

I've been deadheading out of ONT for years on company business. With Southwest, America West/USAirways, Delta, Alaska, Ted, and American competing against each other, I've always found fares that would equal or beat the company positioning allowance for the trip.

Very rarely could I not find a seat out of ONT. As for SWA being the reason for this because of low fares, I have recently found that Delta or American have fares equal to or less than SWA.

Of course, if I was based in ONT, it would only be a 45 minute drive home. I can only dream...

Um....I think you (and half the people that responded to this post) missed my point but that's ok....I am used to it.

Ok.....I will try to explain because everyone seems to think I "can't find a seat out of ONT". I DON'T LIVE IN ONT. I AM BASED IN ONT. I DON'T LIVE IN A CITY SERVED BY SWA! Therefore, since all my commercial DHs are scheduled out of ONT (a city served by SWA) and a lot of my trips start in cities served by SWA, the company index is so low (this is based on the walk up refundable fare) that I can't get a flight out of where I live (since it is not served by SWA) for under the index. Therefore, I am forced to j/s to get to work instead of using a positive space ticket.

1. No, I am not going to pay the difference because the difference is usually $300-$500!

2. I can't move to ONT because then my fiancee would have to commute and it would not be fair to him.

3. MY POINT IS: If SWA fares were up WHERE THEY SHOULD BE, I would not have this problem.

4. No, contrary to popular belief....it is not "all about me", it's about the frigging fares being so low that it's ridiculous. You SWAers can bash me all you want but the fact of the matter is is that if your company raised fares, SWA could make more money, you all could be paid better too! So, stop with the "capt. megadeth posted a SWA bash thread so we all have to get our panties in a bunch....oh no!" AND LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE!

5. Vetterracer.....once again....missed my point completely.

6. If you don't work for SWA, I don't think you should be bashing me either....everyone knows if SWA raised fares, other airlines could too and maybe your airlines would make more money.

7. FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME! I AM NOT BITTER THAT I DIDN'T GET HIRED BY SWA! I don't think I could handle all the koolaid....I would drown. I have many many reasons for my disdain and this is just another one of the many.

8. FlyBoeingJets gets it.....why don't all of you? (I love you too man!)

Wow.

#6. is interesting. My company buys tickets for me every trip, to and from home. They usually try to go with the lowest ticket since they buy a ton of em. I never fly WN. Ever.

I could be wrong here, but, I don't think WN's main concern is to see how many other airline management teams they can help make money for. Infact, I bet they are trying to do just the opposite.

The above post shows that you know nothing about the concept of SWA. Southwest believes in people flying who normally wouldn't be able to fly. Does "A symbol of freedom" ring a bell? It's about people being able to go places without breaking the bank.

Southwest has raised their fares, including the past week on certain flights. I'm glad SWA doesn't price like the majors. If you want to pay the higer fares you think should be in place then go ahead. No one is telling you you have to fly on SWA.

Besides, if it's that big of a deal why don't you drive to LAX or SNA? That would cost you less than the $300 to $500 you claim it would cost to pay the differnce to make it work.

Some people want it all handed to them on a silver platter.

It's ok.....I understand that some people (obviously you) just don't get it. I wonder if you would just think it's no big deal if you were in the situation.

I think it's great SWA tries to give the freedom to fly to everybody by offering the lowest fares.....can you just let me vent a little here people? Geeez!

I don't get it? Obviously a lot of people don't get it. I don't have much sympathy for people who act and sound like spoiled brats.

First off she did not even apply at SWA. Next, do you really think she regrets being hired at UPS? Lastly, i agree with the silk stockings comment.
