SWA. "warriors"

[dojetdriver]

+1...

+2.

ANYBODY calling themselves a warrior while NOT engaged in armed conflict with the potential for severe bodily injury/death is about as ghey as a French horn.

Does 3 years of deployments to the Middle East and a couple hundred hours of combat time allow me to use the term warrior now that I work for SWA? You guys need to seriously chill. No one is trivializing our military in any way. War & warrior is used throughout our culture and language. Get a grip.

Absolutely it does!!!!

Yet there are MANY that serve that would consider it weak to label those a "warrior" when ALL they are is a cog in a giant corporate machine that in no way what so ever puts them in harms way.

Make sense?

 

[dragontamer]

Nope, not really. I'm pretty proud of being a "cog" as I was proud of serving in my former life.

Peace out.

Then my maid is a warrior.

I played cardgame "War" a lot with my Grandma, and now I am doing it with my kids. Am I a bad person?

Good to see the LUV dic factor come out again after taking a few weeks off.

Get the phuk over yourselves. The term "warrior" is used all the time in motivational terms. Did any of you play highschool football? Thank you for your service, and I mean that sincerely.

Wow so when your not on the UAL/forums bitching about UAL your slaming SWA. Is it true UAL is closing the DEN base?

It is, and it is disgusting, deeming, cheapens the true intent of the word.

Why not "valued employee", or "hard workers" or "supreme allied members of the Borg".

But warrior? YGBSM.

Disagree, go look at the definition and show us where it says "and also applies to civilians who do a good job".

I agree with GK... except if one thing happens...

If Delta and United pilots get nice raises. They only lost pensions and took 40% pay cuts last time. You would think they would get a nice bump this time around.

When you guys showed up with your W-2 forms at the table thinking it was going to last forever most of us knew better. And I will say that your W-2 forms had nothing to do with the out come of this SLI.

JT, let it go. It is over.

Ah sure bro. We will say YOU ARE correct and it's true UAL is closing Den. It can only be due to LUV 'warriors' since they destroy everything in their path.

Completely agreed-just as wearing an American flag tie cheapens the symbol. You'll never see a president, congressman, or senator wearing one. Although you will find kid Rock wearing one on his head.

I'm sorry if this sounds like flame, but does Gary Kelly really refer to you guys as warriors? Do you guys buy that crap or roll your eyes?

Herb called us warriors, Gary calls us cost units.
