Seniority is everything. 99% of the pilot group was opposed to the SWA offer. The senior guys had the most to lose, so even if they had a disproportionate say in the matter, which they didn't, they didn't have a worthwhile reason to take the SWA offer.
There was no windfall, just a seniority integration pig with some pay lipstick.
