The last ""etched-in-jello" plan was that the 737's would be here until 12/28 (about 6 of them). Now that, according to maintenance, has been moved up to 11/30. Just wondering for those dudes who were hoping for the 1 to 4 months off with pay ;)
So, on one hand we have an organization that "has the experience in dealing with [sic] management" solely capable of keeping Section 6 on the side of labor ... and on the other hand it's - "well, the local MEC sucked" it's not our fault.
There's 2% I'll never see a return on.
Since my whole life seems to be promulgated off of Airtran 2001 rates, voting "no" will still be a raise. So, no, I wont be voting 'yes' just because SWAPA says to ...

We all know that there isn't just one thing that makes an accident/incident. The "error chain" is something that is familiar to all of us. The problem here is, in the last 12 months, SWA as a company has broken A LOT of links in the chain. Someone at Dallas Love needs to sit down and stop...
At the time of the bid we had to go off the information at hand - and assume it was factual. That was that there would be two bases for the SWA 717: Atlanta and Tampa. We were told that there would not be SWA bases with both the 717 and 737, hence the 717 was the sole route to stay in...
