I hope I'm wrong. Good luck to you and your brothers there at SWA.
If we do....it’ll be after every other airline cuts up to half their seniority list and tosses them on their butts.

Domestic only airlines with single fleets are much better prepared to weather this than the multi-fleet legacies who rely on int’l money to survive.

With our financials....I’m more comfortable than I’d be at my seniority at Delta, Murican or United.

SWA has the added benefit of Boeing storing their new planes for free. Actually, they are paying SWA to store them.

And basically paying for Max sim training. Plus going to reimburse for lost income once the planes are all back. Hopefully enough to keep us in the black for the year.

You may have noticed that Boeing is in a bit of financial stress due to the virus panic. Their money was probably a sure thing before March. Less so now.

They’ll be worse off if we refuse delivery for violating terms of the agreement.

I’m sure Gary would be willing to help in exchange for deep discounts on future hulls.

Reimburse for lost income, well then SWA will have to reimburse BA for avoided losses.....

BA already paid for lost revenue in 2019. It was already said they’d pay lost revenue for 2020 once the planes were back online.

Part of the purchase agreement stated that if add’l training were required BA would pay for the training and SWA would get a $1m/hull discount.

SWA doesn’t owe BA ****.
