Why Do People Bash Swa?

[SWA/FO]

umm, you mean morons because they are in the top 300 at UAL plus they are 747 or 777 capts and have been Capt since the late 80's.

Yeah, those guys with NO A plan or B plan. The same guys that make less money then a 737 Captain at Southwest, even though they fly the heavy stuff. The same guys downsizing, selling their boats and airplanes.... yeah those guys. It was a nice ride, looks like "they raised a smart kid.....pause....not"

YPF I hate to break it to you but we won't be bankrupt by 09. When I was in class we had breakfast with the company leadership. One classmate asked how much cash SWA had. The answer was enough to go 5 yrs without a profit. That would mean we can make it until at least 2010 if we start failing tomorrow.

Now I don't care who you are, thats funny. I'd like to have a few with that classmate at Mr. C's....

...All the while blaming Southwest Airlines Co. instead of blaming their own miserable management for making pathetic descisions. :smash::uzi:

Why do people bash swa on this board? The same reason they bash Delta, etc. etc. They are a bunch of jealous AHoles! The inmaturity on this board is amazing! What is more amazing is that it will suck you into doing the same. In closing, SWA is a kick a$$ airline, everyone loves it, most would kill to work there, and they know in their hearts that they would never have a chance (no college, no class etc..) I hope that makes sense, because little here does!

Sorry, what was this thread about? United's ramp workers were out cow tipping and saw a spaceship?

Dude, don't knock that stuff it is real!!

 

[bailey3083]

Well, since we are starting meaningless threads, should I order 3 steak soft tacos or a burrito supreme and a chalupa?

Need an answer quick -- I am typing this on my treo and I am third in line.

PLEASE HELP!!!

CHALUPA! CHALUPA! CHALUPA!

 

[bailey3083]

Not to worry dudes, I went with the tacos but threw in a MEXIMELT because I was feelin' kinda saucy.

Damn dude wrong answer. LOL

I don't think the is any way to quantify the damage SWA has done to this industry. For instance thousands of vendors have lost their jobs simply because service has been stripped from domestic inflight to compete with SWA. They are the Walmart of aviation. Yes their employee's make good money, but everyone else around has suffered. Look at airport financial records if you don't believe me. When SWA takes over, sales in the airport plummet.

You must have never been to Midway.

Midway's always bustling when I'm there. Potbelly's rocks!

Not that I hate SWA but I can give you a few things that bother me.
I have a friend who just got his rejection letter. I've flown with this guy for the past year and I've got to say that he is one of the best I've seen out there flying skills and knowlege wise. He is also one of the most honest persons I've known, very easy to get along with etc.
Now there's something wrong with SWA's screening processes if they can't see that this person is what any company is looking for!!!!
On the other hand, I've seen so many tools get hired!!

 

[PHXFLYR]

Mega I have said it before and I will say it again....go change your pad....

I guess we all now see why it's the Naval Aviators that are referred to as "officers AND gentlemen" and not the Air Force. Shhheesh..lighten up Francis.

Thanks for the advice PHX. I put it right next to the kitty litter box and the cat covered it up.

 

[Bavarian Chef]

CHALUPA! CHALUPA! CHALUPA!

Only on Tuesdays and only when they are out of the BURRITO SUPREMES!


What are these jagnuts talkin' about again? The air force sucks? Hell, I could have told y'all that.

Flare to land, squat to pee. Oh wait, that's what I do now...

Tanking is a manly profession, as long as you are the "plugger" and not the receiver.

Thanks for passing all that gas...

The way I see it, whether you're pitching or catching you're in the game.

 

[jonjuan]

My father and his buds that were furloughed in the early 80's from UAL never even considered going there.

"That's pride F%^ing with you."

Well you may know more about that than me. What's more gay though, tankers or being a tweet IP, or possibly listing both in your profile?



For the life of me, I cannot remember what this thread was about. Or what flightinfo was about for that matter. Aren't they all just one, long and stoopid thread?

 

[Murphy]

Hey wait a second Bavarian. I was a tanker and tweet IP in a former life. Don't make me put on my wife's pink visor hat and come out of my computer chair and bust on you.
