Anyhow, had we been in mediation longer right now, the chances of us actually being released sometime in the next six months would also be higher. That would've allowed us to more effectively capitalize on the meltdown if there was a realistic possibility that we might be released sometime fairly soon. I doubt that management would want to follow up this debacle in quick succession with another debacle in the form of a real chance that pilots might shut the place down for any length of time.
I hope that SWAPA doesn't commit any more similar major unforced errors this contract cycle like, say, putting out a milquetoast Alaska-esque or Delta-esque TA after a SAV and before a release from mediation.

Well they entertained a holiday pay MOU, so there's that. I thought we all said no more until we get a contract. This is exactly what we were thinking would happen and they entertained bailing them out again. Smh

They entertained it with Contract 2020 asks being incorporated. Just doing due diligence. I have no problem with that…

With a mediator watching you think SWAPA should have turned their backs?

Im pretty sure the majority said no MOUs till we get a contract. That should be it, full stop!
this is how we get flight plan 2020 - a billion.
seriously why do we shoot ourselves in the foot?

I agree that a SAV should occur in the coming days. We need to as a pilot group highlight that we do not stand for this disaster. Publicly, we would show our disapproval for what just occurred, stand with our passengers, while subtly reminding management of what a strike could cause on its operation. It would also make it more difficult for them to sweep this away under the rug and out of media reporting.
I think the irony of all this is that management brought onto itself the equivalent of a strike all on its own. I really hope they open their eyes to what an epic failure this last week was, and continues to be.
