You act as if there is no correlation between management actions and safety and that is dangerously inaccurate.
We currently don't have any reasonable way to curtail managements actions or reactions that directly affects safety. We NEED that help for so many more reasons than just the paycheck.
The airlines are safe. The employees are not comfortable but there is no evidence that there is a safety issue. SWA makes money because they work their employees to the bone. They are conditioned to do it and the legacies need to step up to match it or else they will go away.
Even SWA is at risk. The lowest common denominator is the company that can get its employees to do the most work for the least wages. It is only a matter of time before someone comes along as a real threat to SWA. Whoever they are the pilots will work more and for less money. And, most likely it will be staffed by ex-legacy pilots who are happy to have a job.
