Well, shoelu, that explains a lot. (Not the least of which is wondering why anyone would pay dues to SWAPA.)

You also validated GK's fears/concerns. He told our MC (through a proxy) that he wasn't going to let YOU turn Southwest Airlines into the next USAir. Now I get it. Thank you.

SWAPA isn't afraid of arbitration because you KNOW the boss won't let it go that far.

Wow. Light bulb partially illuminated now.
