Not saying its right or wrong but what are the strategic advantages for SW if a deal isn't done? What are the disadvantages?
I think this is a good conversation to have and am genuinely curious.
I'm talking about the company not about what's better/worse for the pilots.

If GK is asking us to go ask for money, chances are we need it to save jobs. #KeepDean

I guess if Gary is asking then they dont see the industry returning to more normal by next summer and they are trying survive. Otherwise I'd argue it may be better for no one to get a bailout and SW could use its cash and credit rating to wait out the others.
however, not having a bailout might force others into bankruptcy and that would be worse for SW due to the cost advantages going forward for those in bankruptcy.
sw could also not take the bailout if they see the industry returning by next summer, force the others to take the bailout so they cant declare bankruptcy, then sw uses their cash and credit to be aggressive etc.

Our no government money battle plan probably looks something like United's. The race to zero cash burn will start in October if cares 2 doesn't pass.

I dont have the numbers to figure that one out.
itd be interesting if that was the case. Personally I think there are still too few pax to go around even with one major gone.

Yes, and Gary does too. Otherwise he wouldn’t be asking for more money. Why do you think he is lobbying so hard?
Did you fill out your call to action?
