No offense, but that's like living in a land with unicorns and rainbows. No way, no how would I trust the company OR the union on that provision.
No.concessions.

 

RJS,
Please re-read my post. You are attributing to me personally a viewpoint that I never said I espoused, ie-you are calling me a pull up the ladder kind of guy, screw those below me, and having voted for TA2 and the 108 TFP comparison to legacies lie.
I don't know you and you don't know me so please don't confer onto me me personally things that were never said by me to be my personal beliefs. My post simply states what I believe -- that if it comes time to vote for a reduction in line guarantee that as a group most people will vote in their own financial self interest and that a vote like that would not pass.
As for me personally, I have over 11 years to go in this industry but I could retire tomorrow and live a very comfortable life financially due to 30+ years of living well below my means and investing long term. So, depending on the fine details of the scenario presented I would probably vote YES to a TEMPORARY reduction in line guarantee to keep everyone at SWA employed.

 

we were never going to get back pay or a B-fund either.....

If they need help, I’m willing to help. But it won’t be free. If they’re not willing to repay us what is contractually owed, then I’ll take my chances.

 

I would vote for a pay cut to keep the status qou I got about 4000 below me no furloughs or downgrades etc. Most guys I asked said they would, say that 80% said they would. But I don’t think you will see the company offer it.

 

I find this appalling. The sad part is that so many think like you.

I am glad that I can bring that out in you !

 

You're right, I did jump the gun and I apologize. I normally enjoy reading your posts so this one really struck me as out of character.

 

I’m in the furlough zone and no amount of cuts can save 90% down in revenue. I’d rather come back to a ok paying job, we are already behind year 1-5 than other carriers.

 

I'd vote for a reduction in guarantee. It's a self correcting concession. As soon as the customers come back it's meaningless. This would be my 4th career furlough if it gets to me. I don't wanna do it again.

Same here and I agree. It's self correcting.
The good news is that pax counts are trending in the right direction, Covid vax News is all good today, and the industry appears poised to make a recovery. Hopefully we can continue a smart, phased reopening and start complaining about meaningless crap again soon.
