I DID attempt to summarize some of the issues causing angst over the MOU, without putting much of my personal opinion in there.

But since you seem to think you know what I think about the MOU, here's my opinion.

I voted for the MOU. I think it will help the company during the current crisis. While I would not support the hindsight agreement since I felt it was a "convenience give" to the company, I did support the cargo MOU for a wide variety of issues. I have a large personal "trust deficit" with the company, over more than just the big stack of grievances, but I did not consider this a valid reason to vote against the cargo MOU.

Also, I did directly contact my base reps to express my support for the cargo MOU, just as I contacted them to express my opposition to the hindsight deal.

There, that's my opinion, as opposed to my previous summary of some of the issues surrounding the MOU. Now you can feel free to try to pick apart my opinion. Just don't make up stuff and claim that it's what I do or do not think.

All this back and forth bickering and yet no one is willing to tackle the true question at hand....is the Miata truly a sports car?

I doubt flying cargo only will ever become much . Not to much money to be made fly cargo in a passenger configured 737.

I apologize if you think I was picking your opinion apart. I did not mean to I just want to see every SWA pilot get through this in their current seat and spots. I hope we don’t see a second wave and I hope our economy doesn’t tank so all of us can get through this.

why wouldnt they take out the seats and put lighter freight in the cabin?

No floor tie-downs, re-do weight/balance, etc etc.

There has been a waiver approved to put cargo on the seats. I don't think a waiver to allow cargo in the overhead bins has gone through but I might have missed that one.
