idk I'm seeing more and more other work groups with our ready to strike bag tags and SAV YES badges. If anything they're doing more to unite us all

How friendly they stay with us will hinge entirely on whether they continue to get paid or not. At least that was my experience when on an extended strike.

Exactly my expectation too.

When SWAPA is released to self help they don’t have to do a system wide strike. They can do CHAOS and since that isn’t system wide all the employees get paid and the pilots doing the flights that aren’t CHAOS also get paid

Plus it would be more fun than a traditional strike. For example, today no planes fly in PHX & MDW. Can you phantom the chaos? 😂

This would give BJ an emotional breakdown. He hide for 5 days due to weather in DEN and MDW .

Obviously nobody knows what they're planning but I hope it's nothing like this. Way too easy for people to get caught up in performing struck work (I didn't get the email saying we weren't flying 700s today!), unintentionally or otherwise.

Much better for everybody, company included, to just rip the bandaid off.

It sucks! 4 days 14 legs, 12:30 overnight, typically schedule is modified at some point, lack of food early AND late. It goes on. Do not come here unless you have to. I have 17 months to go.
