It may be coming, but now, SWA is going to have to give back some serious compensation. We gave at the office, if they want virtual basing, they will have to buy it from us.

I for one living in base, say no. I see no benefit to me, and see lots of pitfalls to me.
 
I live in base too -
But I like the idea of these mini domiciles
 
They can generate, for comparison's sake, sample pairings for the month, with a certain number of pairings starting and ending in the mini bases, and a reduction of lines in current bases.

Then, if both sides sign off on it, there cold be a trial period, with a snap-back to the old way, if necessary.
 
Funny coming from a USAir pilot


USAir =. Underwater Seating Available.


You can do better. Lame.

SWA = Sliding Wintertime Arrivals.

SWA = Some Wheelbarrow Airplanes.

SWA = Somewhere West of Airport.
 
How is the ipad test going? Last I heard, everyone was supposed to have them and be using them as EFB's this month. Any update on the progress?
 
Just like right of return, SWApA doesn't want mini domiciles, so there won't be any. It might thin out the Premium time at the regular bases, and Lord knows, we can't punish the 1%ers like that!

As for the iPads, I think 700 folks are still "testing" them. The rest of us are waiting for the rollout in April.

FltOps selected the IPAd Air and the pilots have to buy it by April 15th, SWA will reimburse the cost. The date for full use of the IPAD is May 1st.

The company has already provided a link for purchase. The minimum is the ipad air, 32g, wi-fi + 4g. 4g is required to provide GPS function. You can upgrade the memory if you want, but at your own cost.

Does any body recommend upgrading the memory?
