We should all pray to god this SWA thing happens. The TA we just signed will be around for about the next 12 years - if history repeats itself. The majority of pilots I spoke with didnt even read the contract and voted----thats the disturbing part. Our mec says in the roadshow "If it werent for the possible merger, I wouldnt be up here talking to you guys".......WTF.

So what are some of the highlights for those of us on the outside?

Highlights are......
1. Below Alaska pay
2. Below JB for Airbus
3. Reserves got raped (they can sit ready reserve in any AT city)
4. Signing bonus was an absolute insult (payed out in two payments)
5. Reserves lost a TON of pay (work rules)
6. No override for Mex, Carribean, Canada flying (not international?)
7. Premium pay 125% or 150% (at companys discretion), so that wont exist
8. We got one more hour of vacation pay!
9. Did I mention retro pay that I wouldnt give my dog?
