Mediation Board to appoint a federal mediator. If no agreement is reached in mediation, the National Mediation
Board may determine an impasse exists and offer binding arbitration to the parties. If either party rejects binding
arbitration, a 30-day “cooling off” period begins. At the end of this 30-day period, the parties may engage in
“self-help,” unless a Presidential Emergency Board is established to investigate and report on the dispute. The
appointment of a Presidential Emergency Board maintains the “status quo” for an additional 60 days. If the
parties do not reach agreement during this period, the parties may then engage in “self-help.” “Self-help”
includes, among other things, a strike by the union or the airline’s imposition of any or all of its proposed
amendments and the hiring of new employees to replace any striking workers. Following the AirTran acquisition,
the various Company labor groups were covered by 18 different collective-bargaining agreements (“CBAs”). As
noted in the table below, AirTran Employees in certain labor groups have transitioned to Southwest Employees
under a single contract. The following table sets forth the Company’s Employee groups and the status of the
