compete with SWA
SS, if you meant SouthWest Airlines for SWA , most pilots would be very happy with that. Their pilots are the best paid in the US by a good margin and they have have never taken a pay cut. A good number of South West employees are very wealthy due to their shares.
I will say that any pilot in North America that went to the media, identified themselves as a pilot employee and said their operator has safety issues, or anything else for that matter, they would be fired.
