At ALPA first, then as an independent consultant, then leading the FAA, and now as an employee (at SWA).

It's textbook management tactics.
Claim your costs are already too high.
Use public tactics to undermine the union/Negotiating Committee.
Have other employee groups sign on to cooperation so if the one group doesn't concede to management's offer they can enlist social pressure from the other employee groups.
Yay!! SWA is finally acting like a big, old, traditional airline!
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Taking hostages would be a huge departure from SWA SOP. I suppose anything is possible but in no way do I think we are anywhere near that at this point. Many (not just pilots) are becoming disillusioned by managements stance with all labor groups currently in section 6 but drastic moves like that would solidify labors resolve on all fronts.
