You can always tell who hasn’t been in this industry for long from statesments like these. All these big shiny airlines over the last many decades have been headed in the wrong direction, or made it there, and have always worked against the pilot unions when it comes to new contracts. Just because they got a shiny new AIP doesn’t mean the airline or execs have a heart… it’s just the price of doing business.

If you haven’t been paying attention over the last 2 decades, this brave new world of corporate America led by Ivy League elites doesn’t give a crap about its employees or a moral foundation. The legacies and LLCs have been just another crony corporate scheme for the elites to put their mark on and governments to subsidize for a LOOOOOOOOOONG time now. SWA may have had a bit of a different corporate philosophy back in the day under HK, but that’s long gone and it’s just joining the party since GK to become another big corporation model that only cares about the bottom line for Wall Street. If you think the big 3 are much better at having a heart and giving its employees the best life possible without a fight and a few bankruptcies, you need to do some research on the recent history of this industry.

But yes, please leave so my seniority gets better as we fight to get our share out of the hide here.
