Interesting that you should say this. Believe it or not, we had... (have?) this kind of relationship with management at DAL. I have talked to several fNWA pilots that are floored that there are not more grievances outstanding at DAL. It seems that filing grievances was a weekly event over there... relax... I'm kidding. Anyway, like ya'll, our MEC apparently was able to deal with conflict well before they went nuclear. Uh oh... I am starting to sound like a dalpa cheerleader.. but I DO realize that sometimes this is a better way to operate, and I appreciate that. Your system isn't all that unique. What is unique over at SWA is that you haven't divertet from Herb's original plan... yet. What is unique over there is the fact that you haven't furloughed... yet. Hopefully you never will, but we once said that at DAL. I'll let you ingest that however you want, but nothing lasts forever. The Patriots were 16-0 one year until they met Eli and the Giants.
