Actual footage posted on social media of SWA Mx removing the OEM cockpit sunshades on a new Max.

SWA removes the sun shades because then they would have to fix them if they break or pilots write them up. Keeps the cost down for Mx. They don’t care about skin cancer.

Remember: “Pilot Quality of life has no value to SWA”
This 🤬ing place….

I don’t understand how this isn’t an OSHA complaint.
OSHA has no authority over aircrew.

I demand lead lined cockpits to protect me from the exposure to ionizing radiation as well....

Pilots not getting proper rest and diet is a bigger killer.

And then they have posts on Swalife about skin cancer prevention.

I wonder how cost effective removal of the shades really is when many pilots have routine dermatology issues.

That is correct!

Exactly this. True statement (unfortunately).

This has served as a reminder to me just how much our disability needs to be improved.

I was out last year for knee surgery and depleted my sick bank. I need to have shoulder surgery now but can’t swing it until I build the sick bank back up to bridge to and supplement STD.

This really needs fixing.

if you get hit by a bus your family will be taken care of. If you die of a long illness your family is left desolate, and SWA doesn’t care.
