You mean eroding by offering unlimited jumpseats to pilots and F/A's, by trying to have 20-22 days off a month, by not having a union, by having the EMB pilots on the same seniority list?
Or do you mean by having B-scales, treating express/RJ drivers like crap, by aggreing to give up pensions and allowing scabs into ALPA?
Honestly, I do not think it will be approved, so cool your jets. As far as being a tool, well, make that a capitalist tool, that wants max days off, while still making good money. SWA has one of the highest productivities out there, but like one of their pilots told me, they work hard and when they are off, they play hard. One leg out, one leg back all during normal hours sure sounds better than 16 hours of duty, 8 hrs of flying with 7-8 legs.
Start at 8 in the morning, fly to LGB arrive at 3 pm EST, an hour turn, leave at 4pm EST, be home by 9 EST. 13 hrs of duty, 11 hours of flying, 2 legs, 2 landings. I'll take it!
I prefer to be home and having 20-22 days off a month sounds like a good deal to me. Can almost do it now, due to int'l rules.
