Yea, we suck. If anybody trys to sell me on skyrocketing fuel prices or we didn't cook the books right and a 4% increase in pay is a win in 2012 I will barf.

I just read that too. That is a nice welcome package. Time to step it up without excuses.

Ditto. We have a lot of work to do. This needs to be circulated to the membership prior to any votes, so we have a frame of reference of what's rational in our industry.

This should be a starting point.

Hourly payrate is NOT the only thing that matters. I like the part where the average days off is 17/month, and a 3 day is worth 19.5 hours.

^^^^^Yep. If SWA can do it, we sure as hell can do it.

Woah!

Apparently, at some point in the last 10 years the Southwest kool-aid has been turned into Don Perignon.

.......While we have been fed Ripple and Colt 45.

That explains the hangover...



We've now got a baby we can't get rid of, what was once cool is no longer and we're missing stuff and still bleeding...
