Why don’t you SWA mechanics just be honest?
Seniority only kicks in when there is a bid (opening) or layoffs.
Since SWA will never layoff anyone, why make it an issue?
What your real angst is that AT mechanics and FA’s will get a great bump in pay & benefits “AND YOU GET NOTHING!” so to equalize your ‘non-benefit’ you use the seniority ‘hammer’ to make yourselves feel better.
Just remember that not too long ago SWA were lepers to the legacies.
SWA undercut everyone in the industry and gained remarkable market share that helped drive the legacies into BK (now we are equalized… LOL ).
True, SWA beat everyone into submission. You have given the legacies many firsts, First to fly point to point (dropping the hub/spoke system), First to have a single airplane type, First to fly new aircraft with a ‘honeymoon’ maintenance period, First to outsource overhaul, First to outsource maintenance to a foreign country.
Yea, you are my heroes (not).
One would think that giving SWA history; you would be more understanding and accepting of people that are where you have been, but that little green eyed monster creeps in everywhere.
Some people will be arrogant as well as some will be understanding.
Now you are a legacy. SWA set a bar that every company has now met or exceeded.
Get ready for competition; they may eat your lunch.
Just remember, whatever you think, you are an employee.
