IAM/Southwest Airlines Network Control Planners Negotiations Update

Dear Sisters and Brothers:

Negotiations between the IAM and Southwest Airlines resumed on November 18, 2025. This session focused on Paid Time Off (PTO). 

The Company informed us that they will not be ready to respond to our proposal by the next scheduled negotiation dates of December 3 – 4, 2025. 

We are looking at future dates for rescheduling and will send a notification once those dates are established. 

Your Negotiation Committee appreciates your support and patience through this process. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to a Shop Steward, General Chair, or committee member. 

Sincerely and fraternally,

John M. Coveny, Jr.
President/Directing General Chair
Oralia “Lollie” Beecher
General Chair

Negotiation Committee:
