If the company is “transparent” with SWAPA about the cost savings they are looking for, they will get plenty of viable options from SWAPA to help reduce costs. I’m sure another round of EXTO/VSP would satisfy the savings if they would quantify we need x number of pilots for x number of months...

Start trimming the fat at the GO and offer more ETO across the board.

Whatever. You get the point. Plumber, engineer, attorney, etc. Fixed hourly cost for their services.

I think people would be weary to go on exto if offered again given the change in hourly late clause no one noticed before

Correct. They begged pilots to take a 40% paycut to save jobs, and then called them suckers while demanding 10% more.

Not a single pilot would bid exto if offered again.
