Nobody cares about that. It is irrelevant. They are worried now. If they weren't.. why has it been three years since SWAPA signed a contract? Where's the love? hmmmmmm?
Compete. If you're so good.
Oh... and FWIW... thanks for the 717s. You'll be seeing them again at DAL.
(Apologies to the Airtran guys)
Convenient of you to mention SWA not being able to bend their employee groups over like Delta did you guys in bankruptcy. Doubt anyone there wishes they had that opportunity. That said, perhaps the SWA guys have their goals set a little higher than 4/8/3/3, or whatever pitiful raise the majority bit on at DL. There's plenty of "love" between the employees and management, but labor contracts with a billion+ dollar price tag don't come easy or quickly.
If your definition of love is jumping all over a mediocre contract TA, then I'd prefer not to have any. I think most non-Delta pilots would agree.
