But wait....SWA has never furloughed, don't you want to help the company keep this fact true? SARCASM!!!!!
This is what makes SWAPA more vulnerable to this attack than the other majors. Their lists are populated with pilots who have gone through at least one furlough in their career and many realize that taking cuts didn't prevent company from correcting a severe overmanning situation.
SWA will try and leverage the "help us keep from furloughing y'all if you just take 30% pay cuts....etc
