The company has already said why they prefer to break up the bids, so when you look at this one combined with last months in that context, pretty damn nice movement. Now that we have 2 month widebody FOs, guess all that’s left is 2 yr NB Capts. Probably won’t go that junior right now, but if not for the max debacle and all the capt seats those jets would generate, we’d be there imo.

Totally agree
Really though, how stupid can a Union be.? I'll go on record here to say that SWAPA will not prevail in their lawsuit against Boeing. Sheeesh, what maroooooons.

Glad I'm not the only one who finds that lawsuit stupid. Why doesn't SWAPA just sue DALALPA instead? After all, it's the DAL pilots who made all the extra money and over time this summer off the woes of the other US airlines that had grounded MAX fleets.

Better yet, I say UA 737 pilots sue our Bus and 756 brethren for all the extra money they made this summer covering for us! Yeah baby!

FACTS: All pilots at SWA fly the B737 aircraft. Boeing delivered a product with undisclosed defects. SWA pilots suffered financial damage due to Boeing’s negligence. SWAPA is seeking $10K per pilot in restitution.
Weather or not they prevail is less important than recognizing a union that’s looking to make its members financially whole.
Nice unity Joe.

Note: Since SW flies 737s exclusively their pilot group has a stronger case for damages than we do. But I'm not holding my breath in any case... Hopefully I can make any money back when 30+ Maxes come back on the line in very short order.

What company made it a requirement for no additional training to be required with the MaX order? Your lawsuit is a product of your own companies stupidity. Btw ual is just as just as guilty. Every US airline was giddy (Except DAL but I’m sure they were all too happy use the max for a better 320 price) at lower cost on a current type. Boeing caved.
Fun little side not SWA had an employees with in ranks that fully understood the short comings of the max.
