What are you referring to? They all stated that there will be no scope concessions.
Was the general vibe more SWA+ in all areas, or just a few percent followed by partial COLA all rolled into a lie and called a "raise over the life of"?
It was more along the lines of we have the ability to get what we as a pilot group want. SWA+ is not a bar many are setting. Many know that is too low if you include many of the incentive based compensation programs that have been talked about. On hourly, the reps have not been briefed on the survey, that will occur next week at the MEC meeting in ATL. Expect follow on polling to tighten the data within any demographic that needs more input.
Overall the meeting was well attended, pilots were demanding SCOPE, PAY and WORK RULE changes. The mood was no where near a status quo raise. A few reps asked for input wrt to a position they though we should take, and they got that input yesterday.
I was quite happy to see, in my estimation over 60 pilots there.
