It needs to go into the CBA now while it’s still a no cost item. Right along with “all SWA flights will be flown with a minimum of TWO flight deck crew members who have at least an airline transport pilot certificate and are type rated in the aircraft”
Exactly right. I should mention that pay override for a middle is a protection. The language is window or aisle only.
When it looked like we were merging with nk. They have the window or aisle only provision but no middle seat protection language. We asked them. What’s your standing remedy when a pilot ends up in a middle? Better to just avoid that issue and get the protection.
