If you don't work for airtran please stay out. Not that difficult sara lee. I also said what does the CONTRACT bring....not the company.....the contract ...ie work ruless, pay, scope...not destinations

1) Contractual right to merged operations within 18 months following any merger or acquisition of assets.

2) Pilots can refuse a downline draft (schedule change that gets you back to domicile more than 60 minutes after your original pairing ends).

3) Pilots can refuse a draft into a day off.

4) 10.5% Company retirement contribution (W-2 wages * 10.5%) plus 1% match on 401K, for a total 11.5% retirement fund contribution

 

[Just thinking]

#1-Ability to refuse in bound drafts due to personal hardship. (I understand that the junior assignment is seldom used at SWA)

Everything else is pretty much crap. Definitely not the "industry standard" that they proclaimed.

Beat me to it

Seems like a windfall for SWA. I'm not sure where you fly has anything to do with the contract???

 

[Bill Nelson]

Your retirement doesn't bring an advantage to SWA because most of us max out the government allowable limits as it is.

We too can turn down a JA event if you have personal hardships such as child care needs etc.

So pretty much your contract brings nothing.
