"Members Should Know If They Have a New Deal by Thurs" says Pilot Union
The Southwest Pilots Association had some news, telling membership that " members should know by Thursday (November 30) if they have a new deal after three and a half years of negotiations." Ahead of the news, whether good or bad, the union briefed members on the 3 possible outcomes that would follow: First, the Federal mediators from last year could set a new deadline and tell both sides to continue negotiations. Should they feel that SWAPA is not acting in good faith, it could suspend the process entirely. Lastly, if mediators feel the company is not acting in good faith, they could release both sides to a 30-day "cooling-off" period.
