Altiplano,
I totally agree with you and wangfunk in this matter( Not paying for a TR), But Southwest as being the leading LCC (even if they believed so) isnt much of their concern, they're not going there anyway, and for sure they wont be seating beside you in that small cockpit of yours to be harass and ostracize.
So, unless you are a Spaceship out of this World pilot, then you are exactly just like the rest of us....SUCKERS
Too bad we dont have the money to afford a TR when we started, but this Newbees have, so what to do.
