So, like, this guy got free training from the airline instead of free
training from the FAA?

What am I missing here? He saved us a few tax dollars?

A couple of things that you are missing. This person was not in a
position that required this training and it is inapropriate to recieve
gifts from a company you are charged with overseeing. Thats SWA for
ya.


Why is SWA being blamed for someone at FAA violating their ethical
rules?


Because giving gifts of value to government employees who are responsible
for oversight of the giver is generally illegal in the US.
