Sadly Lewbronski has taken a leave of absence from us here. Last heard he has either won the lottery and quit or is being held hostage by SWAPA, possibly both. Regardless its been awhile since they have made any posts.

Money is not everything, WN has culture. What out place can you go work at that the CEO has turned every employee that he can against the pilots. What other airline does the CEO reference the pilots as plumbers?
When a pilot is fired they reference it as A CLEAN KILL……
Let’s also not forget. QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE PILOTS IS OF LITTLE VALUE TO THE COMPANY

If I was 10 yrs younger I’d have left for UAL. As a mid-40’s CA the economics aren’t there. They’ve hired so many young people you’ll likely never see WB CA with a good schedule. Best you can hope for is 757 CA or WB FO.
I’ll retire here top 100….I’m not going anywhere.

That's why we don't accept anything short of full retro. As one of the candidates wrote, make them still be feeling this retro check when we start negotiating our next contract.

Wasn't one of your "things I wish I had done differently" NOT leaving your original place of hire?

Many folks don't realize that a decades long career at SW is not even close to equalling that at a legacy in every measurable way.
I am constantly amazed by some of the questions newer (and not so) new folks ask about stuff that we don't have.
Their reactions often remind me of Betty Grissom's in The Right Stuff, after "the hatch just blew".
"No industry standard pay rates? No parking? No Uniforms?, No double time?, No long call?"
No, but at least we can work extra to make up for that stuff!
