You get what you vote for. Maybe they’ll finally vote in some real leadership.

Imagine how much better the hotel van rides will be when we separate from the FA's. Quiet and peaceful.

Maybe in contract 2030 we can negotiate for separate van rides. Your dream scenario isn't happening anytime soon

Last trip, had timely contract transportation to a separate hotel for the pilots. Same thing next morning, met the FAs on the plane. It was a massive increase in QOL beginning and ending our day. I just can’t believe how many of us are indifferent to this. SS4M, yeah right.

Isn’t this the truth. I have made the mistake more times than I care to admit and sat in the back of some the war wagons only to have a very sore back at the hotel.

This is the LUV way... Dont fix anything, just wear ear buds and sit on a hemorrhoid pillow.

TWU556 was able to produce a TA with DL +16% compensation according to SWAPA.

What do you think the odds are the pilots get a chance to vote on DL +16%, let alone vote it down

SWA Dispatchers are the industry leaders in compensation, as is SWA MX.

Yet theres an entire thread on TWU556 being incompetent and corrupt.
