That guy
They probably were thinking it was like the old Colgan when the Colgans were in charge and it was a tight knit family run airline. Didn't need a union, everyone was on a personal level with the Colgans and the upgrade time was quick.
That, and it seemed that Colgan placed a lot of pilots from "that" era at SWA. SWA seemed to like our guys, our guys seemed to like swa.
I won't say things were super nice or smooth, but it was a whole hell of a lot better back then.
