It needs to be said first and foremost, that SWAPA finds this complaint baseless. The removal of the 717 fleet type from Southwest's single-fleet operation was a known consideration* throughout the pilot integration negotiations and process. The Seniority Integration Agreement was negotiated with the Company and AirTran ALPA with the full understanding that the 717 aircraft may not be in the Company's future plans. Direct public quotes from Gary Kelly asserted just that. While we do not fault AirTran ALPA pilots for filing this claim, we are confident that the members of the Dispute Resolution Committee will find that this complaint does not fit within the outlined process of the Dispute Resolution Agreement.
