Why Do People Bash Swa?

[labbats]

It's nice to share a van with such happy crews, but it gets annoying when every time they sign on they ask for shortcuts. Just change your call sign to AnyShortcuts###.

Just curious why some people bash SWA, List your reason.

Wait about 3 years animal tail, when they take over DIA you will probably be in line bashing your new company.

SW's turn in the barrel is coming.

What does that mean?

They taxi toooooo fast. I almost got hit by them several years ago! Road on their jumpseat one time from Hobby to MSY and Captain flew through a thunderstorm during cruise flight instead of around it, and I mean a THUNDERSTORM. We were hailed on and moderate to severe turbulence. He turns to me and says, and I quote, "What do they expect for $49.00"! Sat in the back on a flight into El Paso, landed during a dust storm, unbelievable turb. Captain gets on PA after landing and informs us the winds were gusting to 60 knots. 60 Knots? Was he crazy! I've deviated around huge cells and have watched them fly straight through them. I hope some of this type of flying has disappeared there but I fly with copilots that have spouses who fly for Southwest and they say that unfortunately a lot of guys haven't changed their way of thinking, on time seems to be the only thing that matters.

Well HMMMM!

I love how some of you folks love to point how how we have degraded the profession and, oh yes, fly through thunderstorms. In my five years here I have NEVER flown through a thunderstorm nor have I ever even been asked to. I am not sorry for our successful business plan and you can analyze it however you want. I am damn glad to be here instead of anywhere else.

CAL73CAP I apologize for your bad experience but you must have had an isolated incident. Kind of like landing at the WRONG airport in CRP. I know that's bad for me to say it but if you shoot it our way it's gonna come back!

Yep, the LUV only lasts until you say something remotely bad or against Southwest. Then you guys just become plain out mean spirited. Two wrongs don't make a right. I don't think Herb would approve.

For me it's that darned Shamoo paint scheme on one of their jets. Twenty years ago when I went to Sea World that fat bastard ate my sister and had the nerve to splash the rest of my family as he was doing it. Umm, hello Sea World and SWA... it's called a "killer whale" for a reason. Let's not make his image into stuffed animals and toys all while misleading the general public. That's how people die.

After that incident I will bash anybody or anything that celebrates that friggin whale!

Well then Capt, why don't you try the high road and (for once) choose NOT to pile on to the latest SWA bashfest? After all, two wrongs don't make a right....right?

 

[propjob27]

At FedEX, we fly through typhoons, and we're the highest paid airline pilots in this country. Didn't you homos see Castaway??

If ain't broke, don't fix it. Let 'em fly through whatever they want at SWA. Just keep the payscale up there....

WILSON!!! WILSON!!!

I think Tom Hanks is an advisor for SWA now. Saw them removing a box from cargo with a stop watch in it at SNA last week.

Perhaps a better thread might be why is Animal Tale such a tool? Was he born that way? Did he suffer a head injury at birth? Yeah that sounds more fun if not more useful.

Right! Which is why I didn't say anything bad about SWA on this thread.
