With the profit sharing we had last year we had industry leading retirement compensation. OK...profit sharing isn't guaranteed. I said I'm playing devils advocate here

I don't know that our current health care costs/benefits are a major player in the conversation. Sure, they could be better, but I don't know anyone who's vote is contingent on this issue. I think our current care is pretty good(?)

Reserve could be improved, and IS being improved in this TA. But one thing I always liked about SWA is how FEW reserves we have; probably the lowest %-age in the industry. My opinion has always been that any improvements that require the company to increase the number of reserve lines isn't really an improvement.

Not sure what you mean about the "work less" category. Never heard this discussion before.

As far as your numbered items go:
1. Good question! Hopefully this is going away soon.
2. Good question! Hopefully this is going away soon
3. Not really sure, but it's only one trip a year so I never really thought of it as onerous.
