It’s about how our pilot group needs to start finding some self worth and demand a contract that reflect the most productive pilot group in the industry. It’s relevant because how do you expect to get pilots onboard and keep them if SWA contact lacks in very aspects to our peers?
Have you read over the contract comparison and not just pay rates? I have friends and family at United. Anyone who says SWA contract is inferior doesn’t know squat:
1) our trips and duty rigs beat theres
2) our vacation pulls beat theres
3) our works rule TTGA/ELIT beat theres
4) our scope clause beats theres
5) our vacation value beats there’s
6) sick leave accrual beats there’s
7) reassignments beats there’s
8 min days off for reserves/line holders
9) we don’t have PBS
Go to the SWAPA website, negotiation tab, scroll down to contract comparison. My question for all the people talking about how we have it bad. How do you know we have it bad when you don’t even know what we have ?!? Posts like yours show that you don’t !! Maybe you should go to United ….
