So the fact they hurled themselves into the surrender abyss is reason for us to do it? OK.
I was initially a kinda yes, but swung to a hard no. Especially after united's turd. Someone has to hold the bar a little higher in this industry. SWA had a good start. The "pro" paper I thought was contrived and weak. The "con" not much better. Who writes this stuff?
Anyway, if it passes I fear we'll never get on a plus side on voluntary measures again. This is all we are going to get if we agree. WE shouldn't settle for this piece of junk. Further, I don't see this working quite the way the "pros" are stating it will.
When are they going to code the ULC's? Next summer? Never? It is after all at the klompany's discretion - who puts that stuff in a contract? That is dumb. No, you've got 30 days from the time of passage to have the ULC coded. If you don't you get whatever teeth are required to force you to do it - as written.
I don't think its going to be that easy to pull down either. I'm back to the rip the band aid off camp again - let them furlough and see what number they are actually going to do. If it goes deep and I end up in the furlough bucket again, so be it. Rather be there than give away pieces of the PWA to a kompany who is absolutely not letting a crisis go to waste.
