Well, you never worked for the airline I did, and frankly I would not put my faith in ANY airline management out there, including SWA.

Every time negotiations come up, all the company has to do is to put a proposal across the table that they want more control over the program and you either acquiesce or pay for it ... again.

In addition, unless you actually have a pilot involved with PBS that has access to the code, and can read and really understand what the program is actually doing, you are relying on their "good faith".

Just because a management is "benevolent" today, doesn't automatically mean tomorrow they will be the same.
