SWA Will Raise The Bar
In my opinion an agreement at SWA is imminent.
No one should doubt they will use the UPS rates, pension, vacation, etc. to lead the industry.
Remember their hour is 54 minutes. So add 11% to their new 737 rate and that will be our new minimum on the 737.
How refreshing to see management foot dragging work in our favor.
Long overdue.
United--No concessions
UPS--No concessions
Allegiant--No concessions
FedEx--No concessions
Delta--?

The BIG question is will our NC team insist and demand that we get an "industry leading" agreement out of management. We have already been told that management needs have been "addressed". What does this mean? Concessions?? Even if we lead in pay rates but give up work rules in the area of sick leave/LCA trip pulls/PS/vacation it will be a failure IMO... I hope my concerns are unfounded...

I look for Captain Dickson to live up to his promise.
"Industry leading pay, work rules and benefits."
No word games. Every pilot at Delta is smart enough to know what industry leading is.

What about a me too clause like United negotiated? If SWA doesn't have a deal first we jump to a ratio of their rates when they do if they are higher.

I agree with this. Although to be "industry leading" in the areas of work rules, vacation, scope and retirement they woul have to be Big, BIG gains to our PWA... Unfortunately our opener asked for only minuscule gains in those areas if they were addressed at all...
