They are in serious trouble if they don’t leap-frog in the industry with this next pilot contract. And they’re not going to jeopardize the business over this. The contract WN pilots expect will arrive and this too shall pass. Then they’ll continue to enjoy their superior structural benefits for many years.
I fixed it for you above. You definitely can’t say they have been lately, quite the opposite. Is it a long lasting change? Only time will tell, but me thinks things have changed for good. Southwest mgmt is clearly headed in the opposite direction, and not somewhere i’d personally want to dip my toes in. To each their own though…
