Im surprised they didnt tell FL pilots they've got to repay SWA for their 737 types and 717 types. Payroll deduct.
Exactly. I recommend people read the book, "7 habits of highly effective people".
If one hasn't, to summarize one of the steadfast points in the book, one must always take care of their "production" & "production control". (P/PC equation.)
To take the analogy from the book, they use the "Goose and the Golden Egg tale". The "Golden Egg" = "product" = "award winning customer service". The "Goose" = "production control" = "happy employees". Without one, the newly merged "SouthTran" will never have the other. Gary K. is literally killing the "Golden Egg producing Goose" by bringing a labor group into the mix with the animosity that the FL guys will carry with them.
Gary's myopia to ensure the culture remains intact will be his Achilles heal.
Fly safe,
