So you’re saying SWA didn’t have a minimum service requirement for their early outs? Not sure if that’s brilliant or foolish.

So does anyone else think our management is immoral for paying to manufacture thousands of widget BLM pins for uniform wear while they issued furlough notices and announce pilot layoffs? Leave alone that they run the risk of pizzing off potential and current customers with this political crap...it’s just wrong to spend money on it in a cash strapped revenue restricted company all the while claiming we don’t have enough money to retain 1941 pilots.

I agree, just like the NRA thing, only magnified 100 times worse. And to spend money on this while you are going to do layoffs...despicable. I really hope the BOD takes some action over this..like Ed’s Head, cause we can’t afford to chase away customers that will surely happen once this goes mainstream...

I angrily wrote this same thing in the politics thread. It’s absurd. If 40,000 people get a pin it’s about $25K in cost. (quick estimate off a whole seller website). Like you said, in a time of money tightness we can fund this but will furlough, fly our planes lean on gas, and claim SILs are not enough to matter. This matter is not only divisive (because of the similarities to the BLM organization itself) but also fiscally irresponsible. You can’t say we need to save every cent and then make political feel good stunts when we are “fighting for our survival.”

On second thought the pins probably keep the proletariat appeased. A happy worker is an efficient worker. Ed is brilliant.

No. I was told to post here to reach a milestone. 20K is more important. Thanks for your post helping it out.

Cool. Well then, I went to the FA lounge and got myself a BLM pin. Because I think black lives actually do matter. And I’m proud the company chose to speak out on the correct side of what may very well be one of the most important civil rights issues of our generation. I mean, this doesn’t really seem like the place to talk about it, but apparently...
