20 (Negotiations Q&A, Kurt Heidemann)

Today's SWAPA Number is 20, as in 20 questions, because that's what we're doing today on the show with typical host, Kurt Heidemann, who also happens to be a part of the NC.We've been in negotiations for more than three years, and the SEP process ran for two years before that.

So today, we spent some time talking with Kurt about those why's.If you have any feedback for us at all, please drop us a line at comm@swapa.org or tap here to send us a text.Follow us online:Twitter - https://twitter.com/swapapilotsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/swapa737
