I don't condone it, but what about people picking up OVER the 21st... like a 3 day the 19th-21st etc.

On the bright side. It’s going to be the biggest pilot picket turnout in history.

The swapa open time report is more accurate regarding what was flown voluntarily vs was was assigned…

In CWA some JAs are actually voluntary

how is that any different? You had the free time and chose not to stand with your fellow pilots.

At my regional we had guys on the street and still had guys picking up open time. There are none so blind as those that will not see.

Forgive me but picking up open time and our scheduling flexibility has always been what differentiated SWA from everywhere else. Frankly it’s why our W2s are more than our peers with higher dollars per hour. I don’t see how this has anything to do with the message our picket will send to the company tomorrow. So guys haven’t changed their behavior all of a sudden. How’s that offensive to anyone here?

Solidarity 101 man...


And "Our w2s" are NOT higher than the competition.. unless you consider the competition Frontier or Spirit.

Several of the open time awards are guys who are here at the picket and working afterwards or waiving front end deadheads etc. don’t paint too broadly without researching.
