Not a SWA expert but heard the legend that Herb Kelleher once told his pilots to organize because he was tired of trying to cat wrangle the lot of them every day. "Pick your reps and send them to me please" kind of thing.

I think most pilots never really cared either way about a FA drive as its clearly their decision. But playing high stakes poker with the operation as some kind of philosophical prime directive may mean its time to remove that as a variable? Whatever, its up to them.
