Depends how far the Company wants to take it. RLA is against the pilots today - you don't have nearly the leverage you once had.

All the best to everyone at Southwest.
You guys (SWAPA) kept the entire profession from falling into an even deeper abyss post-911 by raising the bar while the rest of us were lowering the bar and falling on our collective a$$es. Thank you very much.
Perhaps emphasizing taxi speeds for safety would be beneficial? Anyone know the top speed of a 'brisk walk'?

I've never understood the carry it mentality either. Who cares if it's a light or a screw, put it in the damn book and let MX figure it out. It's usually deferrable anyway so it's not like the little stuff throws off the on-time. I wouldn't want to make it easy for the company to detect a "change" in how I treat my aircraft.

Are you aware how many jobs we outsource here at SWA?
ZERO. We NEVER have, and we NEVER will.
