Keep the plane instead swapping every leg, had four swaps in one day on numerous occasions. 16 days off a month on reserve vs 13 ( At least DAL is close in this regard). Flying Boeing instead of 40 yr old Douglas POS that can't even go direct, or climb with AI on. Substantially better domiciles. It's too bad SWA isn't mass hiring, the bottom at DAL and staffing would get interesting real quick.

I wish our illustrious MEC and contract negotiation team in ATL would be forced to read the SWA contract everyday for two years before the next round.
