Today’s SWAPA Number is 45. That’s the number of years since the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association was formally recognized by the National Labor Relations Board on March 27, 1978. You’ve heard the expression that history repeats itself, so for the SWAPA anniversary, we wanted look back at some of the events that have happened at our Union and see what they tell us about what we’re experiencing today in 2023.

About four years ago, he started the “Southwest Pilots Then and Now,” Facebook Group with a tagline of "A bridge to the future by way of the past." More active than ever, this group has become a sort of a historical, cultural and informational page related to many aspects of our lives as Pilots.
