I guess we have a different definition of an insult. Care to challenge what I said because if you read through the comparison, I am correct. I would also like to say that I am not a company apologist, far from it actually but I do think we need to start being realistic with our complaints of this TA. While not perfect it certainly is not the doom and gloom some people are making it out to be. I am just trying to insert some reason into the discussion and give credit where credit is due.

Dallas-based Southwest Airlines is topping the list as the largest airline in the world based on available seat
kilometers (ASKs). Throughout 2023, the low-cost airline has been a popular choice in the US domestic market despite its historical meltdown during this time last
year.
With more than 600 billion ASKs, Southwest reportedly surpassed the big three US carriers, succeeding its closest rival, American Airlines, by nearly 10%. The achievement was months in the making, as the airline recently provided details on how it was able to dig itself out of its operational catastrophe.

Respectfully, those items are just what the company said they want the most.
I have absolutely zero faith in anything this company says.
Acta Non Verba.
The covid issues proved the worth of this company's words.
Their actions spoke volumes. 1221, vax or fired, no MOU's while OAL's had multiple agreed MOUs, etc
If it is not written down black and white, they will take the issue to court/arbitration and argue "it's in the ball park".
Has arbitration ever worked out for a pilot group?

do they adhere to the contract now? Nope. Almost 200 open grievances prior to this TA lasting years.
