Talked the other day with a Southwest buddy of mine catching a jumpseat out of LAX on NK. He said the FO seemed pretty new to the company, and shortly into cruise the captain was asking him about where he had his apps out, and then spent the rest of the flight trying to convince the guy it was in his best interest to bail. He caught eyes a few times with the FO who was super uncomfortable, and when the captain tried to get my buddy into the discussion he tried to skip the topic to something else.

We aren’t going to see record turnout at LEC meetings or picket events when our own guys are out on the line making new hires second guess themselves.
