A poorly researched article;
- The author has apparently missed the fact that Southwest is one of the most heavily unionized carriers in North America. Why would any well educated investor, or industry insider consider the premise of the article valid given the obvious lack of research ?
- The author relies on a metric that focuses on revenue per employee. Not a valid metric within the industry; unless the authors purpose is to drive down employee wages. RASK vs CASK are the industry standard. However inconvenient that may be.
Perhaps WestJets management have become desperate enough to use the media to negotiate in public ? I can understand their fear given the obvious schism in leadership direction and focus.
