I'm ready to bring this place to it's knees in the form of a strike for our contract AND to keep from ruining my seniority for the rest of my career by fighting as hard as possible to keep that from happening.
When did any SWA pilot’s seniority EVER suffer from any mergers/buyouts that SWA has entered into? Seriously, give me one example, because the last one the average relative seniority gain was 8% for SWAPA pilots and the loss for the losing side was an average of 22%.
I love flying with FOs that are like, “I really hope we don’t merge with anyone”. They obviously are clueless about SWAPA past merger history. If they were educated on it they’d be praying that we bought someone. I’m sure they’d get to enjoy some of those sweet “captured” captain seats.
Pulleeez. Spare me the bologna and let’s keep the facts straight. “Ruining” my seniority. That’s 🤬 rich…..
