It is morally bankrupt to expect your gains to come on the backs of other pilot groups when SKW management is compelled to "match" or respond to what happens at other properties. If the skill set required to do this job is to be rewarded properly (i.e more than a meter maid or garbage man), all pilot groups are going to have to do some lifting.

The demeanor of the company will rest squarely on the backs of management and how they choose to respond to the pilots legal right to organize. Southwest is the most organized company in the industry and they seem to have pretty good relations and work well together. ALPA does not have to mean things get ugly unless JA wants it that way and if that happens then you know who you really work for.
