nK,
Great question! One which would require some investigation on my part since I upgraded before Vjet/AT existed. That would require a compromise on my part.
If I thought it would prolong the positive work environment at SWA it might be worth considering. My sacrifice would be minimal at first glance. Given the posturing and rhetoric by both sides so far I seriously doubt the AT folks are willing to sacrifice anything (are you?) and certainly I must ask our #2 pilot who was hired in 1975 if a 1994ish should go ahead of him.
Are you the one who just became a lawyer? I "accused" FTB of being a lawyer a little while back.
