I feel your pain my friend, though...
I recently attended OBAP and a very wise Pilot from a major called it 'Pilot Tax' you just gotta do it. You gotta put your face out there to differentiate yourself from the other apps.
In my humble opinion, SWA wants to weed out the entitled attitude because their strength is their culture.
Imagine being on a blind date and you had to decide if you were going to spend the next 25-30 years just from the info on that date.
Would you go by strictly her stats on paper or would a 5 minute conversation at Starbucks save you a ton of asspain?!
To put it in perspective: what if you heard this from a girl: "I've paid my dues on the daiting websites for ten years (never posted pics) and I never got a marriage proposal! But this other girl put it out there went on dates and is now in a serious relationship?!"
I know it sounds like tough love, but this is written for someone who is really interested in being part of a great culture and wants to contribute to the team everyday to keep it that way!
Good luck to anyone reading this...
The lost decade is OVER!!

. Especially guys like me in their forties that have worked and worked and upgraded and got the PIC and standards captain and check airman....oh wait. Now you need to go to a job fair. but that's it! No more hoops! Until the next hoop comes out which usually rewards the less experienced. Peter Principle..
