Watch for the company to try to add this language to the new contract....

Yup. The 10% red herring was nothing compared to the damage to our careers that the Force Majeur clause could do.

Guaranteed. We had a few Capts get Premium in MCO...... Surprising there were no straight awards.

On this week’s Airlines Confidential podcast they interviewed Doug Parker. He mentioned during the interview that his greatest influence was Herb Kelleher. Fascinating interview.
Im usually a reluctant fan of Airlines Confidential because mostly it’s the “Abolish the ATP Rule” show. All Ben Baldanza whining about the ATP rule all the time. But I admittedly did enjoy this interview.

I took screenshots a couple of times for the day. There are two CAs and two FOs that picked up but had their trips changed. Can't let those four slip by.

Nicely done. Admittedly there might have been some that picked up to fly and then attend the picket or picket and then go fly in the evening.

SWA considers your unscheduled night away from home and the day off you spend deadheading home to not really being work.

Listen to the latest SWAPA Number podcast around the 23:00 mark.
