Glad to see that y'all are paying attention and that someone actually knew about "pull together win together"....
Historically, oneflyer is correct about SWA and its unions. They've been a textbook example of cooperative management/labor relations for decades. Despite what happened with the TWU, I don't think that has changed when you look across all of the unions.
Why the TWU chose to play hardball was a combination of infighting within the flight attendant ranks more than anything else, plus the involvement of Jim Parker, who had a long history of negotiating contracts but probably should have stepped back from the talks when he was named CEO. Gary Kelly probably won't make the same mistake.
I'm sure AMFA will try to flex their muscle when the time comes, but the fact still remains that long-existing culture of cooperation at SWA didn't change just because the mechanic's union cards had a new logo on them.
