A release for self-help does not automatically mean strike. The union membership first has to vote to authorize a strike then union leadership needs to call for one. Self-help can include lots of other union actions (no more than x hrs of pay/credit/flying, temporary work stoppages (shut down for say 30 minutes per day), etc. lots of things that probably won't trigger a PEB.

That said, I'll believe we have a chance for release if SWA gets one. They've been without a contract for 4 years.

The company has crossed my personal threshold of demotivation. I personally feel very de-motivated to:
1) GS (unless it's GSWC)
2) Fly more than my awarded monthly hours
3) Use my outstanding leadership abilities to step out of my FOM or otherwise prescribed duties to lead this operation.
4) Use my lifetime of flying skill/knowledge to deviate from company provided plans to put an operation back on schedule.
5) Apply any discretion to when a write up should go in the book

I will certainly not take any steps to hurt the operation, I just don't feel motivated to proactively solve company problems...at least not until they value my contributions to the company success. A decent contract in the next few weeks will likely re-motivate me.
