I really like how efficiently the 737-800 could carry a load a long ways. The LCD PFD and ND were fantasic as well.
HOW BOUT THEM APPLES??

The arguement for SWA's shortcall and greater days off should not be done in a vacume. If the arguement is FOR the whole SWA contract, there goes along with it other "benefits" like premium pay out of some open time, higher credit for days, fewer plane changes, reserve access to open time, etc. SWA PAYS for efficiency.
There is no arguement FOR 14 days of shortcall without the rest of the package - including their scope clause.
As has been pointed out, DAL reserve can be pretty painful if the category is shortmanned. If you haven't experienced that, you will at some point if you are on reserve. DAL can make it so you get NO days on the lake except your laundry days between trip pieces while you dont break guarantee.

that's a good point, it has to be all of the above if at all.
And if that happens, then the scope clause has to come with it. It's a nonstarter if it doesn't. And I don't mean a take back or % reduction in DCI, I mean SWA scope.
0 outsourcing.
so while yes we would be incredibly overstaffed with the new rules, maybe the new flying would take care of that to the positive.

I do not think I would like to give up this particular part of the contract in order to get SWA scope... I will have to think on it a little more, but on first blush, it seems too ripe for abuse by skeds. I definitely want nothing to do with 14 SC days. That is too high a price.
Be reasonable. I'll start posting Gator football pictures if you don't rethink your position!!
