I will tell you that you have unified the SWA pilot group by turning down the proposal. We were arguing and having heated discussions prior to your MEC vote. Now we are becoming more and more focused. Many are now open to ALL options available to our pilot group. That is sad because those options that they now want SWAPA and management to explore are unpleasant. I too have begun to question whether this deal was really worth it.
Your pilot group already signed on and agreed to the options in the transition agreement. The SW pilots I have known have always been honorable people. I gather from your post you are saying that they are about to change that. It would be very sad if that were the case. I am going to hope your the minority and that most SW pilots will honor agreements they have made.
One other thing I think all SW pilots should keep in mind. When this goes before the arbitrator almost anything can be introduced. Even some of the posts on here might find their way into the record. Certainly any attempt to end run the transition agreement would be viewed in a negative light by the arbitrator. If SW is honest and above board they will do fine in the SLI arbitration. They have many compelling points to present. Fail to do that however and the arbitrator may decide to teach a ethics lesson.
