@SouthwestAir Does the @SouthwestAir Labor Relations Team bring the same professionalism & preparation to Pilot Negotiations?
Because we’re two years post-amendable and only 3 sections AIP’d.

@swapapilots Welcome to @SouthwestAir. We look forward to addressing your squawks. Happy flying.

@LasitaShalev1 @POTUS That is great idea. We just need to know where all the money owed comes from?

[AMFA Local 18 @AMFALocal18]

@swapapilots Thank you, from the mechanics.

without it’s employees. Shareholders are important and so is the company in which they are invested. But, without employees no one will make a profit. A healthy union established by the employees ensures we all benefit from the services we provide.

[AMFA Local 18 @AMFALocal18]

Unions keep companies in check. Without collective bargaining any company will do whatever they can to prop up only shareholders and the company itself. There is no doubt the company would leave the employees behind. Which makes no sense as the company cannot survive

@grownupdan @banannawine @swapapilots @SouthwestAir How do you earn a living? I’m willing to bet that you can attribute what you earn on a union agreement between itself and the company it supports. Whether directly or indirectly collective bargaining agreements benefit everyone.

@MariusAviation Love that phrase. All cash and no class.

Southwest just released the flight schedule through the end of 2022. SWA's level of reserve manning will determine how dense and workable Pilot schedules will be in the 4th quarter of the year. Read more about scheduling trends in the summer schedule here: https://t.co/ycMqah53AT

@ClassicsPlanes Best and most badass civilian @Boeing aircraft ever built.

@KSU_Evan @banannawine @swapapilots @SouthwestAir The money I am able to pay my CPA for services rendered are funds derived from a CBA.

@AMFALocal18 @banannawine @swapapilots @SouthwestAir Union or not, we southwest fliers have missed connections and missed meetings in exchange for our loyalty. Let the blame fall where it should bc the customers ultimately pay the pilots and the suits. Not for long if somebody in corporate doesn't figure out how to count.

[AMFA Local 18 @AMFALocal18]

@JimBob37736935 @banannawine @swapapilots @SouthwestAir those loyal customers will hang in there with us.

[AMFA Local 18 @AMFALocal18]

@JimBob37736935 @banannawine @swapapilots @SouthwestAir It is breaking my heart to hear stories from neighbors who have always been loyal @SouthwestAir fliers. Now, their stories include canceled, delayed flights and they are looking at other airlines. SWA is going thru growing pains after taking on all those new gates. I hope all

@dougkempf Sorry, but that is one ugly airplane, not the livery, but the design. Especially, when sitting on the ground.

[AMFA Local 18 @AMFALocal18]

@AndythePandy_ I do not think you understand the logistics of deplaning using two doors. Most airports are not designed for this.

[AMFA Local 18 @AMFALocal18]

@ClassicsPlanes Great picture. The perspective is really confusing.

[Southwest Airlines Pilots Association @swapapilots]

Neither is selling more than 4,000 flights a day in June when you were only staffed for 3,800. But you do you @southwestair.
