Wow, your hatred for anything SWA comes through even when we are pulling in the same direction.

That heavy enough for you?

If you think a new contract will be gained through s-l-o-w taxiing and other various subtle violations of status quo, then we will have to agree to disagree. Was it effective at the Tran? Didn't seem so from the outside looking in. The company would love nothing more than to hammer a few guys who decide to conduct their own wildcat job actions. There's a time for self-help (and punishing those who actually pay our salaries, a.k.a the passengers) but we're not there yet. I agree there are still too many that have not picked up what JW has been laying down, but the sea-change in overall pilot sentiment around here over the last 7 mos has been far greater than anyting I have seen in my 15 years here. Time is (still) on our side.
