same. Never even landed there or LBB in 6 years.
I don’t understand the desire of some to bash another pilot’s airline. Maybe it’s from being a mil dude and having squadron buddies everywhere.
They’ve all got similar gripes and we all make similar cash to fund our poor life choices. A buddy just bid to the 78 and isn’t sure he’s going to stick with it. Crossing timezones is wearing on him already. It sounded pretty glamorous compared to schlepping the people of Walmart around the Midwest but he’s got his gripes with it. The grass is only greener because it’s well fertilized.
I suspect after working for people willing to pave the path to four stars with the rotting corpses of everyone they’ve used along the way, I’ve just come to realize the corporate overlords who run our companies would replace us with a monkey and a banana dispenser if they thought it would boost the share price and they could get away with it. Any pilot is a very small cog in a big mean machine. That machine has no loyalty to you so I don’t understand any loyalty to it.
Whatever the reason, very little of my personality is wrapped up in being a swa pilot. I show up and do my thing and they pay me. It’s a completely transactional relationship and that’s perfectly fine.
I suspect that’s probably the case for most normal human beings employed at almost any airline.

I get it, we are all shotgun married to our brides due to seniority and some humans feel the need to make themselves feel better about their current situations by dissing others. It just seems so stinking pervasive on this forum. It's pretty annoying.
Like Zard, I am just here for the Hamiltons. Trust me, none of you guys are that great. I have met you.
