Southwest Questions

[Tanker Clown]

It's probably tough for Capt with 2 alimonies, child support, airplane, 2 houses, and a boat to give up on picking up open time. It seems like those guys would sell out a junior guy to maintian their lifestyle. Which decision do think a Capt would make: Take a 10% cut in block hours and sell the yacht, or screw the newhire, furlough him and the Capt can still pick up open time?

SWA is going to talk furlough to get the pilots to drop thier request for a cost of living raise.
They are going to get their 5 year pay freeze which will drop SWA pilot pay back below the legacies, just as the CEO who thinks SWA pilots are overpaid desires.
They will get to renig on an agreed upon section of the codeshare TA before the contract is even vetted to the masses so they can outsource SWA flying to third parties via code share agreements to all the places they don't want to invest in, yet want to reap the revenue.
You read it here first.
Interesting times...




Or I could be wrong.

That said, it looks like with the January cutbacks that furloughs are possible if people don't take enough military leave ect.

My buddy just got called this morning for an October interview. I doubt we are on the verge of furloughing anyone. You are a dip********************!

Furlough until you hire; Hire until you furlough.

Furlough until you hire; Hire until you furlough.

I hope we furlough for the simple fact that it means there is ZERO chance of you working here.
