The New Southwest?

Firstthird and F-16TJ, I thought your responses were intelligent and made sense. You both seem like you have your heads screwed on straight.

I started all this flamebait because SWA FO and some of his cronies were getting out of control on this board. I guess I'm becoming as bad as them now.

His responses to my flamebait haven't been nearly as thoughtful as yours. Maybe subconsciously I do have a little bit of a sour grape mentality, who knows. Good luck with your career.

I guess in 20 years we'll know how everything worked out.

One other thing that is not meant to be flamebait, just a point of discussion. As an outside observer, SWA's culture does seem to have changed in since 9/11. You guys are no longer the elvis-dressing underdog. I'm not sure what your personality is now, but it is different. Maybe its because of your growth or maybe its because Herb is gone.

TJ-
Good response, many of the reasons you stated are why I consider myself fortunate to have this opportunity as well. I guess fighter guys and heavy guys have more in common than we thought!
See you in class next week.....

Its SWA/FO... why all the concern about what I type? I don't pick fights, I just finish them. HERB is still involved with us here at Southwest.

As a long-term fan of SWA, I have secretly believed and hoped that 'Operation SWA/FO' is a fancy strategy to make the SWA Pilot group look bad. Anybody who dislikes SWA/FO is not necessarily an enemy of the SWA Pilot group.

thanks for your support Vic. The SWA pilot group is made up of over 5000 individuals, you think maybe there might be some different personalities mixed in there? I'm not running for office..

Another reason you (SWA/FO) are #1.

Personally, I like that SWA/FO is such a huge proponent of the company and consistently stands up against all of the disenchanted naysayers (Slick). If you're looking for a basis on which to judge the SWA pilot group, how about looking at their productivity and professionalism on the job? It shouldn't be too hard for the most narrow-minded of you to find that those numbers speak for themselves. I applaud a dude that continues to have strong responses on behalf of the company he loves to work for. Keep it up bud! Peace.

I support you on the line every day, my friend. This is not the battlefield.

Ah he's alright...I have several friends over there and they aren't anything like SWA/FO .......he just really LUVS SWA and like the kool aid (its okay)....let him...... his actions(if even offensive) shouldn't let anyone stereotype all 5000 SWA pilots MOST are great guys......but we all know there is that 2% everywhere....

 

[SWA/FO]

but we all know there is that 2% everywhere....

I thought it was 10%?

 

[Deacon]

I thought it was 10%?

10% sounds high even at SWA......I usually give the benefit of the doubt to the other 8%.but 2% definately the a**holes everywhere
