Well codesharing wasn't SWA's style either, now it is. Keep your options open.

I just want to see my future employer with a strong balance sheet when this economic disaster passes.
I wouldn't trust SWAPA leadership or SWAPA to accomplish much. I don't see much spine in the leadership, and kool-aide drinkers run very deep among some pilots that unity doesn't seem likely.
I want to see SWA strong also, but looking at history, what Major airline has come out stronger from codesharing.
