I fully support a SAV, however, there are risks right now. It risks getting “lost” in the wave of bad news. It also can make the pilot’s look unsympathetic to the recovery plight of both SWA and our pax (I know that’s not true, but the entire premise of a SAV is perception).
Poopoo out.

The company would take the help and then continue to drag their feet on a new contract. My nephew is a dispatcher for SWA and that is exactly what has happened to their group after they voluntarily voted in pay cuts during COVID. I believe they are now entering their 5th year of stalled negotiations.

Can all of the union heads get together or is that against the rules?
Can they join forces and go offer to BJ to work together publicly to save the place after deals get done…or go on a media tour togetherif they don’t?
I don’t know what’s legal, but if I were BJ I’d grab hold of this moment with everything I had. Malcom Gladwell could add a chapter for this one…

this mess is relatively fresh in the mind of the traveling public. Hold one before spring break and get the headlines out there. If enough people read ‘Southwest pilots vote to authorize strike,’ they’ll recall the meltdown and wonder ‘wtf is going on at SWA?’ Their next thought will be to book their tickets on any other airline for spring break.
When revenue misses, the big time shareholders might start asking some pointed questions. Questions like “is the ill will of protracted negotiations a distraction we can afford right now?’ ‘Why are these contracts still open?,’ and ‘Do you like your job on the board?’
