What I worry about more than anything else is letting those aircraft on the property. Whether it’s with us(I don’t support it) or a CPA(I don’t support that either), they can easily move metal around at the expense of the higher paying airplane. You will never fly 175 for $343TFP. Thats not going to happen. You may fly it for whatever the standard rates are. No different than a widebody pay rate that is standard in the industry. What I would support is restrictions on how much they are allowed to fly. Whether it’s a ASM’s, block hours,etc. Maybe even a ratio. I just think pandora box opens up. Whether it falls under one part of section 1 of pay or the other of scope, to me they are both the same. If history is a guide, we will be back in federal mediation at some point and if SWAPA passes a document across the table that agrees to let SWA pilots do the flying and the company agrees just on that one provision alone, under mediation, it will be hard it take it off the table.

They'll have an incentive to operate more airplanes for collectively less money. Almost as bad for us as outsourcing our work to skywest. I'm glad I'm not on the bottom of the list. Some of you appear to be itching to give money back to the company.

I know it’s a small amount, but I support y’all getting the match! Every bit counts, and I can’t thank SWAPA enough for the per diem increases we get because of y’all.
