What do the SWA guys lose by not making a deal with FAPA?

[FDJ2]

Yes they do.

Gup,

I don't think relative should be supported, or DOH. Personally, I would start at the half way point in the SWA seniority list, and then throw one F9 guy in, and then 5 or so SWA guys. Something like that. Give some of the senior F9 guys some credit for longevity. You can then staple the Lynx guys, and then that would give some more protection. There you go.


Bye Bye---General Lee

That sounds pretty sensible to me. Use a formula that rewards longevity but does not give away Capt slots. Keep the Dash pilots at the very bottom. Hey, 40+ airplanes (probably many more than 40) would be on the way to replace the buses anyway.

I am sure SWA management is fuming right now. Why would they agree to pay something like $60M more than Republic unless they really wanted/needed F9 and the DEN hub for growth? But I guess the SWA pilots should decide everything from a strategic point of view with or without SWA management. If this deal caves that arrogance will be a HUGE STRATEGIC BLUNDER because Republic (despite their low pay which I disagree with) will want to grow F9.

Maybe all you SWA Top Gun pilots should watch this video and realize your glory days are long over:

Yes they do.

what percent? how do you own growth or passengers?

Through your collective bargaining agreement.
