This is more than likely the playbook SWA is following and more than likely will continue to follow until this thing is done. The way I see it, is that it will give the Airtan pilots plenty of ammo for a very large class action lawsuit.
1. ALPA MEC votes down the SLI knowing it is not fair and equitable. GK annouces the following Monday that the sky is falling in regards to the economy and plans to fly SW metal in and out of ATL on Airtran routes.
2. Mediation does not produce results and some 717s are parked or sold and furloughs are announced on the Airtran side.
3. After months of waiting the Arbitrated list is put out with seniority gains for Airtran pilots. SWAPA is furious and GK will not have his culture ruined so he continues the separte operations of the two companies. Over the next year and a half Airtran aircraft are slowly sold or parked and Airtan as we know it no longer exists.
I believe if this evidence was to go to court it would show that SWA never intended to give the pilots of Airtran a fair shake. Now i'm not talking about the finacial package that was presented to us i'm talking about a fair and equitable seniority agreement.
