The big question is does this agreement provide for the bypass pay to the senior RSW FO *AND* the (eventual) captain seat or just the cash? The letter from SWAPA says: "This ratio ensures that Captain seats created by the transition of AirTran aircraft occurs as envisioned in Side Letter 10. " I'm lead to believe from the letter language that it's both.

We now know the senior RSWFO's get the cash "if they fail to achieve this ratio by December 31, 2014." Do they get priority access to the seat too? How will this occur? It sounds to me by increasing the RSW upgrade numbers in Dallas this year at the continued expense of AirTran Pilots - taking a school house training / transition slot and turning it into a RSW upgrade slot.

I'm sorry but how can SW continue to screw the AT pilots and want me to smile, chat and be your buddy on the hotel van. It doesn't work that way and unlike what the RSW pilots say, they have a controlling hand in what is happening. I don't buy the statement that GK created this.

Anyone have the grievance settlement language?
