With the last podcast. It sounds like SWAPA is happy to help with reeling them in, to a degree.

Sadly, I believe this. However, swapa had no part in influencing my expectations. I have arrived at my expectations as an individual with no assistance from swapa. In fact, I personally see both swapa and swa as obstacles to my expectations. While I also expect swapa to try tampering things down, it will have no influence on me at all. I’m not backing down.

I was shown a FB post which alleged that company inflight supervisors are boarding aircraft between flights in order to trumpet the flight attendant TA. If this happens on one of my flights, I will ask them to get off my airplane.

If they is true take a video of it. It’s possibly illegal as it’s a violation of NLRB section 7/8a1. Get it on video and let the money rain down upon you…..

Two more reasons to avoi this place. Appearantly DAL CP are calling guys that say not nice things about SWA on our union forum. A scumbag pilot in our ranks has taken screen shots and gave then to the CP. Another is the fact that our HDQ CP thinks its ok for crews to stay at hotels with no running ater. They were told the hotel made arrangements for them to shower nextdoor. In 3 showers for 12 of them. No water to flush toilets or brush teeth for 4+ hours. SWA is ok with this solution. Of course our already agreed to language in the new contract. Wont prevent us from staying at these lousy 135 frieght type hotels.

Sounds like there should have been either 12 fatigue calls or 12 hotel rooms expensed to the CP at another hotel.
