A lot of this information is useful to many of us. Not everyone has the time nor the “know how” in dissecting this information.
As for the TFP figures, I’ll respectfully submit, that it is not just about TFP numbers. It’s a total compensation package that would enable and allow SWA to hire the best talent going forward. Wide bodies at our competitors are a real thing. Young bloods coming into this side of the business are at the very least, curious about flying these giants to fancy and far away places. I know I would!!
Our compensation has to be such that it entices new talent to choose flying a narrow body, possibly for the rest of their careers! Today, that’s going to take more than culture talk or will never furlough talk. It will probably also take more than industry leading “narrow body” compensation. Candidates will wonder, “I could make far more than any narrow body pay at XYZ airline!” I know I would…
Like our Union president stated in his latest podcast, “we’re not asking for the moon just for the sake of asking for the moon.” There could be real consequences or rewards, depending on the outcome.
