SWAPA early open

Is it true SWAPA has notified management of their intent to reopen formal contract negotiations six months early (March 2020)?

Yes. SWAPA also invited the company to meet in January for a sneak peak at the completely re-written contract proposal, to which the company accepted.

Sounds to me the company realizes how much they need the pilots’ help to restore public confidence in the Max...

Settle in for five years of negotiations, especially with a complete rewrite. That’s fine, but this contract better be knocked out of the park as it’s hard to imagine that airline pilots will have a better negotiating environment than the one we’re setting up for.

P.S. I will strike...

It doesn't matter if you get released or not. That's outside of your control. What's in your control is the willingness to do it. And that's the important part.

It's this dumb assed mentality that allows management to win.

If we are at a standstill, we will. Whack, I’ll stand next to you. But not awkwardly close.

Mmmm... May be a more labor friendly administration, or with Spirit and Frontier and JetBlue and Moxy the NMB might just say, ‘well why the h€|| not?”
