Why did you make outrageous demands to SWA, knowing that your alternative was an alliance with Republic who would drag down your QOL and pay?

$3000/mo plus health insurance to furloughed guys,.. come on
Denver seat protection for 2 years?
Free type rating and "equitable integration"? (you are bankrupt, right)
ETC

FAPA was 'not too smart'. You had a gift and gave it up.

Have fun playing with Republic who are taking over Midwest routes and putting those pilots on the street. Some of you may have to move to MKE. So much for the DEN fence. What was your union thinking? You have the promise of a seperate airline, for now. That won't last very long. You'll get what your Union has decided that was best for them!

(This is not a personal attack on the rank and file crew members. Just an opinion on the short-sighted view of their union and their skewed representation of the facts to their membership.)
