Hey, I'm not saying he hasn't changed, only saying what I have been told SINCE he has been here in Dallas as he moved up the corp ladder. I did here from one of his fellow workers from Hou. that he did in fact make a very strong worded phrase after taking his first relm position in Dallas. That phrase was, "were here to take the airline back" now where that came from and why I have no clue personally, but we hear they were saying Sokol was too close with the mechanics and would cater to them. Another phrase he was heard saying is, "no longer will the mechanics run to the upper corner office". I am told that reference is also a jab towards Sokol. So take it all as you will, but his latest memo out speaks volumes. Yes he was directed to put a memo out, but the writings are his words. Think about it.

Completely agree with you. So who's the new guys from AK? I may know who you are talking about but I may have not known he was from AK. Just another example of hiring outside of SWA for these positions, what gives? If it continues it will not be good in the long run, or the short run for that matter.
At this point, doing my time and getting out ASAP, that's for sure.

I just hope We are smarter that's all. Everyday new rules.
I don't need to think about it. I know what he is capable of first hand.
Trust me, the NWA fiasco will not happen here.
As do we here in Dallas. Won't be long...

I find it kinda funny, Landon Nitchke demands 100% compliance, the mechanics give it to him and he declares it an operational emergency.

With the moves that are happening now, it seems that they don’t want the culture or old attitude to be salvageable even after a new cba is reached. More and more the attitudes are here to stay. It sucks, because this place was different, and now it’ll just be like all the others. And no one in upper management seems to care....

And worst case scenario , we could strike and they would be lined up out the door, to welcome our great benefits, with a new union .
Well there we have it, Dallas is now the 5th city under the "State of Operational Emergency" Don't know what triggered it, I can only assume it has to do with more a/c removed from service. More info to come. Same memo sent out to the Dallas folks that were sent to the 4 other cities.

Read the statement Mike put out in SWA life there is an injunction coming against AMFA, SWA is building their case. When you state your maintenance program has not changed, and the task cards have not. Lightning strikes, and pilot write ups are uncontrollable. However when you do the same task cards and you normally have 20 airplanes a day out of service, and then you go to 60 after negotiations not going well that is a job action. We need to watch our backs. Some idiot took a picture of the out of service screen and shared it with the media. So now that feature is blocked in OTCS. This is not a game.
