This is a horrible decision by Southwest. Volaris is an unproven entity, no safety or service record. Notably this agreement does not take effect for 2 years. Most likely it never will and this announcement is just a ploy in the 2+ year pilot contract negotiations. Southwest is outsourcing American jobs in favor of a low rent foreign operator. I fully expect Southwest management to come back to the pilots and ask for wage and benefit reductions if Southwest will drop this sham of an agreement. The fabled trust and spirit of Southwest is being eroded daily by idiotic decisions like this. Southwest is traded under the stock symbol LUV. It should be changed to JAA -- Just Another Airline. Shame on you!!!
