For employees, a more profitable airline results in higher pay.
Is Smizek aware of this?

Even though the airline is greatly profitable with an estimated only 20% of synergies completed.....he keeps stone walling...pi$$ing and moaning about no options but a cost neutral contract...or perhaps concessions with the Delta +1 contract...(select sections only). Profit sharing is for a company whose management VALUES it's employees and know that they are imperative to the production, and or delivery of it products or services. With this current crop of management,(it is a revolving door), labor....and specifically pilots, are a fu#&ing nuisance.
The RLA, as out dated as it is.....exist to protect from the likes of our current management. I wonder how often the very topic of the RLA comes up between Gary Kelly and the SWA pilots?
