Working under the OLD contract was VERY different than under the new one.
The new contract is VERY different...pay...schedules...etc.
The new working conditions are somewhat different than they were years ago.
Having said that, SWA ROCKS !!! There are only 3 airlines that I "would have" left for my current position at NJA...SWA, UPS or FEDEX...in that order. Why not now ? Because of age (over 40) and commuting...it sucks.
As for the "commuting" argument above, you are COMMUTING when it is on YOUR TIME and YOUR DIME. When you airline from home, on the company's TIME and DIME, it's just part of your duty day
Congrats on the SWA job
