Things might get better but the business trajectory isn’t looking great right now and our leadership is questionable for many reasons other than us feeling like they’re stalling on the contract (which is actually not that questionable from their perspective, just standard airline management/Ford Harrison tactics).

Read the comments any time SWA has an advertisement. Most post are very negative towards SWA. How HQ is blind to this is beyond me .

We have been doing this for at least the last year. It's network planning 101 stuff that we should have been doing all along to better utilize resources. Instead of letting demand drive our network, we have just published a sun-fri schedule that looks exactly the same every day in every city. Nobody is showing up at the airport to buy a ticket for the 4 o clock flight to Dallas anymore.

Listen to today’s SWAPA Number podcast. It is absolutely infuriating how little the company is willing to do to mitigate record high fatigue calls. And with regard to leg change override, their solution to costing the SWAPA proposal was to pick 9 reroutes and use them as a representative sample as opposed to SWAPA costing which used 5200 reroutes! Which is more likely to provide more accurate costing?! They only want to restore days off that are lost to JA if it’s a “true JA” (new pairing assigned on day off) because if it’s an RON JA you probably only deadhead home on the day off and they don’t consider that to be work!?! Seriously?!
If they believe they’ll reach a ratifiable deal with this kind of intransigence, I believe they’re seriously underestimating this pilot group.
THERE IS MORE TO A CBA THAN PAYRATES.
