Please let's not air our thoughts here. I am totally against any concessions. We as SWA pilots don't need to voice our thoughts on this public forum.

Management reads all the forums. I haven't read anyone saying to do anything illegal. I'm also totally against any concessions. But no one should be talking about what they'd be willing to give up in exchange for this or that on any of the forums or talking about any kind of stuff that would get us in trouble legally as a union. Unless what comes down the pike is an out of cycle pay raise with a nice signing bonus and fixes to our disability with no concessions of any sort, I'm a NO.

Why not? I'm a hard pass on that offer and I'm not concerned who finds out.

I’m in the furlough zone and it would be devastating financially to get furloughed after big paycut to come here and offers from other stable places and I’m a big NO.

What will be curious is if we furlough how many ppl leave when things inevitably pick back up. I came here for job security and if I get furloughed I’d entertain other places again despite being here a number of years. Other places will still have retirements and quicker upgrade will be low even if they come back smaller. If job security is gone, we’re left with 10 plus year upgrade. Now I know the company will replace any that leave but I think retention will drop

Agree 100%. Thats exactly what happened post 9/11. Only about a dozen out of my class of 30 went back.

As it turns out, they were the smart ones... but who knew? Just like you, I left the place in the rear view and looked for greener grass. Who knew it would just be green spray paint over the same crappy grass. lol

well if one thing 2020 has taught us is that anything can happen. I’m not saying I would go as I do love it here and my QOL is high. There’s an assumption the big three will furlough at some point every 5-10 years, but SWA seemed immune to it to some extent and so that was my biggest reason for coming here. Now if thats gone the CONs will seem bigger, lack of international, 737 for life, 10 plus year upgrade. Will be interesting

I could see this going a few ways.

NO vote
- “unforeseen circumstances” such as an increase in pax traffic or revenue negates the need to furlough.
- status quo (for now) and a small percentage furloughed mostly to save face. But for some twisted reason we still have green bars

YES vote
- no furloughs of course and to celebrate they will have the biggest deck (pronounced by a Kiwi) party you’ve seen.

I see what you did there... just as long as it was treated with Schaeffer’s deck sealant.
