Thanks for the update Shoe. You were smart to get that stuff clarified and settled before starting to do the flying. Redeyes are the pits, but almost all airlines do them. SWA discovered the advantages to Redeyes when they looked at AirTran's books, so they are the thing of the future. Hopefully, SWA will take all of AT's redeyes sooner than later.

I would hope there is no talk whatsoever of a concessionary contract. Who ever heard of a pilot group (or any union) accepting less pay or giving up work rules when the company is making a profit? Don't let GK bully you like he did us poor AT pilots! He shoved the B Scale and DOH -3 down our throats, not to mention the pay cut we have all taken. When SWA bought AT they told us (in a nice glossy brochure sent to our homes) that it was all about the money and the culture. Well GK destroyed the culture with the SLI and gave us a pay cut on 1 Jan. It would be a shame if we crossed the fence just to find lower pay rates on top of everything else that has happened.

Stand strong SWAPA. Don't let management bully you.
