    The SWAPA Ride Report: Red-Eye CQT Pulls, VA Shift Strategies & The China Airlines Partnership

    In this week’s extended episode, Communications Committee Chair Matt McCants explains the new expectations for red-eye pairings when it comes to QOL TR pulls during a CQT month. He also goes deep on all things vacation shifting and how shifts have performed since being implemented last year. What is the average increase in pay per pilot vacation week? How does shifting put a new spin on month to month vacation weeks? Maybe there’s TFP on the table for you to pick up.  He also adds key context and backstory to the announcement of the China Airlines partnership. What’s changed behind the scenes to finally kick airline partnerships into gear? What’s the connection between your CBA’s Section 1 language and the Company’s push for low-cost revenue?  And most importantly, what does this mean to you as a Southwest Pilot?

    The SWAPA Ride Report: ICYMI, Coming Soon, and Contract Q&A

    In this week’s episode, Communications Committee Chair Matt McCants points back to highlights in the bevvy of information we covered in the BOD meeting recap and teases the upcoming deep dive with the SAC. Also in this episode: a heads-up on the SWAPA Constitution modernization, and a call to action for those interested in serving as a representative in this fall’s elections—these reps will help shape the platform for our next contract. What happens if your flight is delayed while on your overnight—can you stay at the hotel longer? Does it affect your pay?  Is an early call from Scheduling during a delay an interruption of rest? What’s the difference between LIMO-only duty periods and CX pairings? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s Contract Q&A.

  5. 1,200 (Professional Standards, Jon Ross)

    ١٥ مايو

    1,200 (Professional Standards, Jon Ross)

    Today's SWAPA Number is 1200. That's the number of cases that Professional Standards has worked in the last 12 months. That's about 100 per month or about three a day. Those are high numbers and well within our control, but we'd much rather see that number of cases go here than over to company channels. So today we sit down for our annual chat with Professional Standards chair, Captain Jon Ross, to update the membership on a must-listen episode about how pilots need to be as familiar with Professional Standards as they are with any other part of the Company or SWAPA.
