I love that idea, and I’d add, “Including in wide body career compensation and retirement.”

But the chances of SWAPA doing that are about as good as the chances of it snowing on Waikiki Beach tomorrow. Why? Because they'd have to really get to work and get uncomfortable.

They'd have to read, and stuff. They'd have to understand RLA case law beyond what they were taught by their NMB instructors at the Pepperdine course they often brag about having attended (fox guarding the henhouse). They'd have to really push the company. They'd have to risk scaring some of our pearl-clutching culture luvers. They'd have to challenge their own mythology about what they've been programmed to believe about the RLA and collective bargaining.
