Negative. I emailed Richard Anderson last summer, specifically about bringing our pay up to at least equal SWA. It took him about a month to respond. But his response clearly indicated that he thinks our current compensation is just fine and that, all things considered (claim, note, shared rewards, profit sharing, merger equity, etc.), we already exceed SWA.

Our CEO doesn't think we need anything like the increases it would take to bring our W2's up to SWA pilots W2's. Our union won't even acknowledge the extent of the difference in compensation. I don't think I'm going to hold my breath that we will see a SWA like contract by mid next year. I'd love to see it. But without anyone even trying to achieve it and a CEO who thinks we're already there, I don't think it's going to just magically happen.
