There are those out there who, unfortunately, will trust the company to do the right thing and not even look beyond the pay rates and the bonus calculator.
The devil is in the details. SWA is allowed to exceed the PDEW (pax daily each way) for 12 months prior to being in violation. They then have another 12 months to either reduce the PDEW, start flying it in our metal, or stop selling tickets. After that? Nothing.
So, theoretically, if I wanted to skirt the (weak) language, I would start selling tickets like gangbusters and 24 months later throttle back below the PDEW for a few months. Rinse and repeat in multiple destinations and for years to come. Lots of other "meet and confer" and "intent" language as well.
This TA is so harmful to my career as a super junior FO, I can't imagine anyone with more than 10 years left here voting for it.
On another note, look around your lounge and the ties that are being worn. I know in the HOU lounge, there are multiple (50 percent or more) airplane and flag ties, and it has been this way since the "black tie" campaign started. Those individuals are the ones we need to reach out to and educate on the harm that this TA could bring to our futures. Don't exclude, mock, or belittle them, but try to ask them questions on what they think about the TA and how it is going to play out for years to come. We need to win the hearts and minds of those guys in order to crush this thing with an overwhelming vote.
