SOUTHWEST PILOTS ARE READY TO STRIKE

SOUTHWEST PILOTS HAVE VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY TO AUTHORIZE A STRIKE. WHEN CAN THIS
HAPPEN, AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU, OUR VALUED PASSENGERS AND FAMILY?

 






“YOU HAVE TO TREAT YOUR EMPLOYEES LIKE CUSTOMERS.” — HERB KELLEHER 

Southwest Pilots and their passengers can clearly see that Herb's ethos is
missing from Southwest Airlines today. Herb would be unimpressed with the state
of his legendary airline, which once set the bar for employee satisfaction and
was second to none when it came to customer service.  

While SWAPA hopes that Southwest Airlines leadership will hear our overwhelming
call to action, hope isn’t a strategy. We are prepared to act. But we know that
creates some concerns for you, so we’d like to address them. 


WHAT ABOUT MY FLIGHTS? 

A strike is not something any of us wants to happen. You don’t want your travel
interrupted; you deserve the best for your hard-earned travel dollars. And we
don’t want to shut down the airline that we love and that you have built a
relationship with over the years. 

However, Southwest Airlines has taken the same path in dealing with its
employees that it has taken with caring for you, its customers. Southwest
leadership has failed repeatedly over the last decade to sufficiently
upgrade our airline’s technology and operational processes. Those shortcomings
are now the burden of its front-line employees and, unfortunately, you too.
We’ve all seen it clearly in their multiple operational failures over the past
few years. It’s simply unacceptable.




WHEN WILL A STRIKE HAPPEN? 

The short answer is, we’re not sure. It could be late summer or early fall
depending on how the negotiation progresses in front of federal mediators. The
National Mediation Board (NMB) controls any release of the parties from
mediation prior to a strike. SWAPA is diligently following the process set out
in the Railway Labor Act (RLA) which includes airlines like ours. Under the RLA,
Southwest and SWAPA are legally bound to maintain the status quo of operations
while in federal mediation. But ultimately, SWAPA is committed to following the
Railway Labor Act to its natural conclusion, and that may include a strike. 

Our end goal is a new contract that will help our mutual interests as
stakeholders in Southwest Airlines. Pilots and our passengers will benefit from
scheduling processes that help rather than hinder the operation, and a contract
that attracts and retains the most experienced, qualified, and safest pilot
candidates.


WHY ARE PILOTS UNHAPPY? 

Southwest Airlines pilots have been in contract negotiations for nearly
three-and-a-half years with no meaningful progress. We have been in federal
mediation since September 2022. Our pilots have said loudly and clearly with the
recent Strike Authorization Vote that enough is enough.  

 * Our pilots have surrendered tens of thousands of days off against their will
   to cover an oversold schedule and a broken crew scheduling department.  
 * Our pilots have been forced to leave in record numbers to seek better career
   opportunities at our competitors. (You deserve to have the safest, most
   experienced pilot flying your family, don’t you?) 
 * At the start of this year, our managers pocketed millions in bonuses within
   days of cutting our employees’ profit-sharing by half due to the worst
   operational meltdown in the history of U.S. commercial aviation.  
 * Our pilots have seen zero raises in the wake of record inflation,
   deteriorating work conditions, and increasing cost of living away from home. 
 * Our pilots have been scheduled for increasingly longer duty days and shorter
   rest periods, resulting in record fatigue calls and consequent schedule
   disruptions. 

These are just a few of the conditions that have pushed the pilots of Southwest
Airlines to decide that a strike is a necessary option. Should the National
Mediation Board release our pilots to self-help, Southwest pilots will conduct a
strike.  

You deserve a better Southwest Airlines experience and so do we.  


ARE YOU FRUSTRATED WITH SOUTHWEST TOO?

Southwest know that it’s time to make things right.
