Not sure why anyone would be surprised that our new CEO would finally take advantage of the limited scope that the pilots signed away 6 years ago.
It's coming for sure. Surprised it took this long. Look for more broad asks in the first TA.

The job’s responsibilities specifically include “meet[ing] monthly with Southwest Airlines Pilots Association (SWAPA) for an in-depth discussion on all areas of Southwest’s Airline Partnership work.” Coming to an agreement with the airline’s pilots will be crucial. Pilots will see any partnership as outsourcing flying that ‘belongs to them’ and the airline knows it will need to sell its pilots on the idea that any partnership will allow them to grow the flying done by their airline.

Just a wag, but wouldn't surprise me if the company is trying to get their ducks in a row in the event that the Max 7 will need a separate type and potentially a separate bid category in the event that the feds decide a pilot can’t fly both the -7 with EICAS, and the core fleet without.

Don't know if you’ve been following it but in the last Trump Onmibus bill there was a provision associated with un-grounding the Max. If the Max 7 and Max 9 could not be certified by December 31st of this year, Boeing would be required to incorporate EICAS into the flight deck before they can be certified. (Should’ve been done on the NG much less the Max. Only a few decades too late) Anyhow, Boeing is trying to get congress to amend the law to buy them more time, but it’s not looking good.
