Have you guys heard what management is pulling here at Southwest? As much as I'd love a killer contract for you all to leap frog I don't think that's happening for quite some time. Our TA1 was pitiful and the company came to the negotiation table with an offer less than TA1. It will be a long fight if we expect to get anything close to industry standard.

We (SWA) are not even close to another TA. Sept. 1 with be 4 years since the amenable date and we are as far apart as ever. In our last meeting with management they told us they completely disagree with our expectations of the career value of a pilot at SWA. Our CEO says "thousands of pilots are lined up at the door to work here" so pay must not be an issue. IMO only the mediator can move us forward. We've been hoping you guys will lift us up, not vice versa!

New SWA TA Will Set The Bar Higher
This is critical information.
In my opinion, the Southwest pilots will soon have a new TA.
I believe the 737 captain rate will be $280 per hour.
Their hour is :54 minutes.
Therefore you need to add 11% to get an equivalent for our contract.
$280 X 11% = $311.
Once they have a new TA $311 per hour for a 737 captain will be the rate all our hourly rates will be based off of.
Time is on our side.
Patient for the right deal.

Saltshaker,
I read it correctly the first time. $216 is their currently converted hourly rate on APC, he anticipates $311 as the new converted hourly rate. I'm talking apples to apples (converted hourly rates) and I believe my math is corrrect.
