But to sit there and say that based on the luck of timing their contract is better then ours cause they have more retirements is simply not true! Don’t get me wrong there is a lot of things we can improve in our contract. But to make it sound like some inferior POS is NOT TRUE. If I was starting our day 1 would SWA be my first choice ? Absolutely NOT!
In no particular order: Disability, Training, Pay Scale, per diem, profit share, reserve rules, vacation value is debatable, sick buyback, hotels, medicals, parking, uniforms. There's a seller's market and as usual SWA is slow to respond. How about all the grievances, hindsight, etc. Why has SWAPA been stonewalled every step of the way? Once again I'd rather not jump through the hoops of getting hired at another carrier. I'd rather fight to make this a better place.
