Carl, The problem is that this rumor comes up again and again. In one case I was at the meeting where it was supposed to have happen. Never happened or anything close. Despite this being a ongoing rumor not once has anyone posted something to take it anywhere above a rumor level. Why? Kind of strange. There is certainly nothing wrong with posting items from a public meeting. Its done all the time on the other board. Guys will take notes and post everything they can remember. Not once in those notes has anyone posted anything about we can't achieve SWA.
Here is what I want to see to even begin to believe this is more then a rumor.
I went to the Council XX meeting on the XX Sept. The Captains reps XXXXX XXXXXXX stated that he was not in favor and did not feel we can achieve SWA payrates.

Carl, Why has the above never happened?

This rumor is much like the other rumor posted over and over again.
DALPA is in secret negotiations to give away 100 seat scope for a 25, 30, 40, 50, or 60 percent raise. Been posted over and over since DPA started up. Never been a single discussion with the company on the issue. Not to mention that anyone who stopped to look at the cost of the pay raises compared to the cost savings of running the airplanes at DCI would quickly realize how stupid the rumor is.

Hey, 5 leg days to a 9.04 hour overnight to a 5:40am wheels up next morning is not acceptable. That's very regional of us. That I want to see changed in the next contract.

Remember that every time you make a change in the contract it has unintended effects. We worked for and got a 8 hours behind the door rule in the current contract. The rule however leads to more 30 hour layovers on domestic trips and overall low time trips. I don't advocate one over the other just that you keep in mind that for every action there is a reaction. We can get longer layovers but it may come at the risk of lower time trips.

9 hours a long overnight? Good luck getting 8 hours behind the door with that one. Doubt SWA has many such short overnights.

Is there an option on Icrew for opting to not get automated calls at 4:30AM for an Inverse Assignment worth 2hrs with a report in 30 mins when you're a commuter?

Under PCS
"Standing Request Qualifiers"
"Rotation Parameters"
Check the box at the bottom & enter the times.

Haven't been called inside those times since.

Laying over in downtown ATL, and Dragon Con is going on. Holy crap! That's all I am going to say.
