Why Do People Bash Swa?

[SWA/FO]

SW's turn in the barrel is coming.

I give this place 2 more years.

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

CYA

I don't really bash them but going back they are the "original undercutters" in the industry. Way back in the 70's started working the 737 for way less and no pension. Remember in the 90's when guys were bailing from them for the big 3. The only reason they look good today is everyone has come down to their level.

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

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.

Uh, what about losses? I'm guessing that could scoot things along in 3yrs. Not saying it'll happen, but that 2010 statement ain't real thought out.

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.

OK - and what makes him/her a tool? For starting a thread? Gimme a break. I don't see anything derogatory toward the overly sensitive SWA folks...it's just a thread and a question.

Pipe, hopefully you realize I was not serious....I am sure the pilots that will fly this company in to the ground haven't had the grandparents born yet.
