SWA can tout their hourly rate all they want. Personally, I already flew for the regionals and have no need to do it again. I have buds there, I know what the schedules are like and I don't think that I could physically sustain the 'regional' type flying for the rest of my life.

Nothing personal against SWA - some of my best buds are SWA pilots...but wasn't it SWA that hired a guy a couple of years ago that got canned on IOE for unprofessional behavior?
Face it, EVERYONE hires an occasional dweeb - there are enough dweebs high enough up in all the companys to ensure it. Fortunately the majority are great guys.

I truly hope we can all negotiate better contracts.

Delta got United plus one. Honestly, I'm surprised you don't know the story of United's summer of 2000.
Southwest's contract became amendable over a year ago. What is the current status of negotiations? Has your union leadership come forward with a proprosal? Has a strike preparation committee been formed? I'm curious as to why your pilot group isn't banging the drum to get the talks jumpstarted, or are you satisfied with what your current contract?

Just a suggestion, but you may want to expend more energy fixing your company before you worry about fixing mine. Once again, I hope you improve your contract and get what you want. Best wishes.
I'm not in the business of fixing companies, just interested in increasing pay and quality of life for this profession.
It's a real shame don't have the time in your busy life to answer a few simple questions, but do have the time to make derogatory comments.
Good luck to you, and don't worry, we'll do the heavy lifting.
