These all seem like things to make it easier to fly us like a regional and max us out to the most extent possible. Why wouldn't they want that?

I'd take three 25 hour four days every single month. Drop 29/7, increase daily guarantee, and make them build efficient trips.
We also fought really hard for Red/green so if they want it to go away, that's fine, I expect a $100/hr raise or I'll just keep Contract and drop every single middle day and have them pay me $130,000 a year to fly 150hrs a year, fuggggg em

If you are interested in having certain aspects of the contract negotiated for you, reach out to your rep and tell them.

I'll tell why guys are going to SWA, I have a friend over there and he showed me his schedule, three 3 day trips with a credit of 80 trips. Second year f/o makes in the 120's per hour and with the dc they make more than a 5 year capt here. New hires at SWA can choose their base right out of training except for atl and mdw I think. There has been a big uptick in resignations since November and that comes from the most reliable source.

He is in for one heck of a work load increase going from Airbus CA to SWA FO. Every time I sit in a SWA j/s im amazed at the "busy work" that the antiquated 737s have for the FOs.

What I heard when BF said (BF...hehehehe-Peter Griffin laugh) was that our current contracts work rules were negotiated 10-12 years ago. As in the 2003 CBA.
Also I was glad to see BF's yearly email to the company...good for him.
