SWA has a big wake-up call coming if they think were accepting anything other than industry leading. It's that or a NO. Period.....
We/SWAPA are ready to do what must be done to acheive this. That is all.

WN mgmt really shot themselves in the foot not going for a deal right after COVID flying came back. But that’s great for us. They could have locked in a contract well before delta and inflation kicked in. But they chose not to.

So now they will pay us more in the contract, retro, AND pay useless Harrison Ford or whoever that law firm is a lot of $$$$ too!

Carl’s arrogance screwed him and the company. Their games have gotten very expensive and there’s cheap way out now.

I like how the tone of his emails changed completely, from condescending and arrogant to now only “factual” statements. He’s done.

I actually had a glimmer of hope when he wasn't the one sending the emails anymore. Too bad that didn't last.

Carl was recently telling a CP meeting in DAL that SWAPA let pilot’s’ expectations get too high and now they’re trying to reel them in.

Our expectations are high because the other airlines got better contracts, we’re more productive than the pilots at any other airline and there’s never been a better time to get everything we want, no matter how large or small.

Our expectations are realistic based on economic conditions.

They’re the ones who stalled and delayed and let the market favor heavily toward employees. They screwed up and should’ve signed right after we turned the corner on Rona. But they didn’t, and now we expect Delta/United + and will strike if we don’t get it.

It’s not personal, it’s business. (Ok, maybe a little personal because he’s a self serving traitor and I want to see him fired).

GK made the whole stink about how there's a market rate for plumbers. He can't get all aggrieved when the market rate goes way up due to a plumber shortage.
