I want to correct this, or add to it. It is now 65 and below since they took seats out of the 70 seat jets and added a first class.
Also, according to some, at one point we owned none of it, so let be careful how we argue this.
As for SWA+10, I think we will open above that and do not see this pilot group voting in a TA that does anything except what you state above; SWA+10%
That is all personal opinion - I'm not an elected rep, and they will be determining what our priorities are after reviewing the results of 12000 pilots input via the survey. I have absolutely zero doubt that our opener will reflect the will of the 12000 pilots because I believe in our elected reps. The ones I vote for, and the ones each pilot votes for. They control the agenda, they control the timeline, and they will control the opener.
They do and that is why it is imperative that the pilot group hold them accountable.
