SWA and SWAPA have agreed to staff at a level which allows for open time, open time which is paid at a PREMIUM. (imagine that sports fans)
The last I heard, SWAPA members are: well paid, secure, and happy. Why not follow their lead?
PS they dont furlough, nor do they often offer unpaid leaves because thet're overstaffed.
SB, don't forget that this brain-trust wanted to 'properly staff' so we could drop trips / use float. Odd that open time is trending toward zero, yet half of AUGUST is already RED or BLACK, and most of what is GREEN is 1 reserve away from BLACK. Much better than sticking with the 10% reserve coverage threshold. Then again, no one tracked the 10% requirement anyway. Oh yeah, I have another idea, let's throw the 10% requirement out, and let the company set the reserve coverage to whatever they want it to be. Yes, non NK folks, this actually happened.
I find it odd that an MEC that can tell you how many days / instances of JRM you have with stunning accuracy, couldn't tell us what the rolling 12 month reserve percentage was.
An MEC that has no problem freely distributing a list of all pilots that were JA'd, along with comments including "Tar and Feather". A report that is NOT REQUIRED. Yet has the arrogance to not publish the required FLIGHT PAY LOSS log.
B6 GUYS, THIS IS WHAT YOUR VOTING ON!
