Southwest Pilots Plan Informational Picket

Would Be The First Ever For Pilots For The Airline

The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association says it plans informational picketing next week at two locations at Love Field Airport in Dallas.

The labor action is planned for Wednesday, February 3, from noon to 1400 local time.

According to a SWAPA media advisory, Southwest Airlines pilots have been without an acceptable contract since 2012.

After nearly four years in negotiations toward a new contract, SWAPA has decided to demonstrate their collective displeasure to management, the flying public, and Southwest shareholders. Four years, particularly during a time of record profits, is far too long for a company known for its "LUV" to not provide a worthy contract offer to its operational front line leaders – the pilots.

"After numerous sacrifices to help ensure the current financial success, it is time for Southwest Airlines management to finalize a contract with its professional pilots and move forward together toward a prosperous future," the union said in the release.

Pilots will set up pickets at Mockingbird Lane and Cedar Springs (across from Love Field Airport), and in front of Southwest Headquarters main lobby (inside gate).
