It seems like everyone posting about "just want to know if SWA will furlough" is actually hoping it will happen, What the F*ck?? No one in this post has asked like they care other than to see SWA burn.
The next one of you chuckleheads (that supposedly works at a 121 carrier) that points-out rising fuel, bad economy, etc., better wake-up. You might hate SWA, the pilots, the culture (CO or UAL is great if you forget about the "other hired pilots"), or poolies, but we are all in a lot of trouble if they start furloughing.
If SWA starts to go down, anyone with a low number at ANY 121 carrier is screwed. People like to point-out "hedging", but at least SWA didn't hedge their employees (and anyone could make some cute post about how they cheated, MX saved them, blah, blah, blah,). The posting people that want to "educate, or cut people off from Kool-Aid" have either never worked at a 121 carrier, or were lucky enough to be WAAAAYYYY senior when that went down. Either they are not real 121 pilots, or they are posers. I've seen a furlough, flowback, terminated flowthrough, etc., but I've never wished a fellow aviator would lose their job.
