However, I find our Union seedy and corrupt. Between the double dipping of Mr. Utah and paying pilots $200k to keep up the web site is abhorrent. The pilots here are great except for the scandalous ones in SWAPA management.

WRONG green, nice try....:laugh:
kc81900 said:Your an idiot. Maybe that is why SWA is profitable they and management work together instead of taking the ALPA approach bleed them until it hurts then furlough. Cause we need our dues. Oh by the way I work for an alpa carrier and in my opinion ALPA sucks.

TexaSWA said:What work rule change is this that everyone keeps talking about. I know only of a temporary test where an extra day of flying is added to a small percentage of lines, and duty rigs are applied to split trips in open time. Both equate to more money for people who normally pick up an extra day.
Its not as if the extra day is flown for free. Alot of people pick up and extra day or two. Bid one of these lines and you wont have to.
Whats more, if we dont like it, we dont have to keep it.
Doesnt sound like a consession to me Green. Ask DAL, UAL and UAIR guys what a concession is, they will tell you.

7 posts there 7s3w7a....all have something in common, they are all negative, there is no way you work here at SWA?
2005 Scheduling Summit – Side Letter 31 Summary
The Company and the Association have constructed this Side Letter in such a manner as to not intrude
on our Section 6 negotiations which are scheduled to begin in April 2006. The test will give both parties
information which will be of value during the coming negotiations. The test has been designed to increase
pilot productivity with minimal changes in quality of life. For the purposes of this test, SWAPA and SWA
have defined productivity as the average actual block hours flown per active pilot. An active pilot is
defined as a pilot who flies greater than zero block hours during a given month. Due to the provisions of
this test, pilot staffing will be reduced by postponing several new hire classes. As a result, the block hours
flown by each pilot should increase by approximately one hour per month. At the completion of this test
period, manning and productivity are expected to return to current (pre-test) levels. The first part of this
document is a summary explanation of the provisions of the Side Letter followed by the actual Side Letter.

Why do you care what's going on, according to SWAFO there's no way you work for luv....lol
Run for office then. I value your opinion and input, and the whole pilot group might feel the same. However, this is not the place for this. Please (pretty pretty please) dessist.7S3W7A said:I guess there was no way Mr. Utah stole money right out of my pocket and yours and our union does nothing about it. I f-ing hate SWAPA.

7S3W7A said:It's a concession to the junior guys who are going to be stuck with the lines with less days off. The senior guys will bid more days off which allows them to cherry pick the best open time slots. Another stomp on the junior guys. The fact that you are blind to this amazes me.

TexaSWA said:It may not be a good deal in your opinion, but a consession? Please. There are many who welcome a few lines with an extra day/pay.
Wow a very intelligent and articulate response.7S3W7A said:Okay, Ike.
