TWU550 is aware of a technology issue impacting Southwest Airlines. Our members are working diligently to ensure the safety & operational control of the airline. This is, once again, a failure of leadership to address the real issues: a lack of planning, foresight, and vision.
It is SWAPA’s responsibility to ask the Pilot group to consider the best interests of @SouthwestAir and to vote against the re-election of the 12 members of the SWA Board of Directors (BOD) on May 17th. -Tom swapa.org/news/2023/acco…
"Herb would have been here." -Senator Maria Cantwell, Chair of Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation SWAPA is proud to represent the more than 10,000 pilots of @SouthwestAir, and today, we showed up. #wheresbob
The TWU 550 Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Tentative Agreement 2 has been approved and ratified by a vote of our Membership. Voting breakdown was as follows: YES: 75.86% NO: 24.14%
PRESS RELEASE (Jan. 23, 2023) Southwest Airlines Dispatchers, represented by TWU 550, reach Tentative Agreement on new labor contract with Southwest Airlines.
Expanded statement from TWU Local 550 President, Brian Brown:
"Dispatchers have a joint responsibility, along with the flight crew, for the safety and operational control of flights under their guidance." Read the full letter from Chairs @RepPeterDeFazio and @RepRickLarsen to @FAANews below. transportation.house.gov/news/press-rel…
Our Informational Picket at Dallas Love Field this morning went off without a hitch! Thank you to all who participated and to all who support our efforts!
131 at final count.
131 at final count.
Appreciable RETROACTIVE PAY means far more than just recovering delayed compensation. It’s the only balancing pressure RLA Labor has against companies’ foot-dragging on improved contracts.
Today is the day! TWU 550 Dispatchers will conduct Informational Picketing at the Dallas-Love Field terminal from 10am to 12pm! Join us! twu550contractnow.com @swapapilots @TWU556 @TWUlocal555 @SWAmatspec @wfaa @NBCDFW @CBSDFW @FOX4 @TXA21 @transportworker
Day 1,316 since entering Section 6. This week has been a week full of ups and downs at the table. Today, we wrapped the session after discussions on open topics. Company asked to have the break until meeting again to compile their next proposal. We return to the table Dec. 6-8.
Pilot unity @united Airlines Flight Training Center. It’s time for United to invest in pilots! #WeAreAlpa #UnitedPilots #1U #ContractFirstUnitedNext
Day 1,314 sine the opening of Section 6 negotiations. The Company completely wasted our time today. We go again tomorrow. Hopefully, Company negotiators will come to the table with a reasonable offer that does not undervalue the work of our Membership.
Flight attendants for @AmericanAir and dispatchers for @SouthwestAir are the latest to head to airports to picket slow contract negotiations @APFAunity @TWU550 dallasnews.com/business/airli…

Southwest, is that you? Ignoring other responsibilities like fixing IT systems? Or maybe ignoring settling multiple labor contracts? Attrition is only gonna get worse. With @swapapilots voting on a Strike Authorization in 9 days, will be a rough summer!!

Vote Yes – because it’s in your own best interest. Vote Yes – because it's in the best interest of Southwest Airlines. Vote Yes – because it's good for your airline career. Please vote, and vote yes in the SAV.
Your pilots have asked you to come to the negotiation table for over three years to address these significant technology issues, and you still haven’t listened. Now it’s time you start listening to our customers, or soon we won’t have many left.
As we're sure you are all aware, @SouthwestAir had yet another technology meltdown today, causing the nationwide grounding of all of our flights…or, as we call it, ‘Tuesday.’
The @SouthwestAir triple crown today?: We have the Most cancellations, Most DOT complaints, Most Major contracts past amenable date…THE NEW TRIPLE CROWN!!
