I haven't read your ta scope, so don't take this as a commentary on its merit.
Did SWA fly to Iceland, Hawaii, Canada, or Mexico when these Codeshares were implemented? Did they have aircraft capable of going to Iceland or Hawaii? Did any of these Codeshares end because SWA pilots demanded it? The Skywest RJs were operated on a pro rata(at risk/no guaranteed profit) contract, so I that's not a test of scope IMO because it was likely a loss for Skywest.
My point being, SWA pilots have never faced the same pressure as Legacy pilots. Please don't take this as an insult, but it's a fact.
