Is this the HUGE Southwest announcement?

[General Lee]

The news here is that Gen Lee has no room to criticize a company that knows how to make money every quarter of every year since they were started.

Sounds like jealousy to me.... How's that pension plan working out for you, champ?

-You see, the concept is hard for this guy to understand, but successful companies don't have to give their executives "bankruptcy-proof" pensions right before they screw tens of thousands of employees and hundreds of thousands of stockholders!

Talk about jealousy. You seem to have it. How are our pensions? Well, I was paid quite a bit to make up for any short fall and have filled my 401Ks for the last two and upcoming year while having cash to boot, and even our retired pilots were almost made whole, along with the PBGC. Instead of you actually understanding the facts, you tend to skirt the truths and try to attack me personally, which is fine with me. I can take it, and dish it back. I don't want to and never have wanted to fly for Southwest. I continually say I think they have a well run airline, along with great pay and nice stews. I just would NOT want to fly their schedules, routes, or multiple leg days with 25 minute turns, all in one type aircraft for the rest of my life. That's it.

So, I posted this press release about new boarding procedures, and you attack me and my long gone pension? Niiiice. Looks like you are the dork here, and we all know it. Stay cool Jmoney.....?

How 'bout..........we've made money since Elvis was alive, even thru 9/11 which most airlines declared bankruptcy and raped and pillaged the vendors and employees. A time in which most major airlines lost more than they could ever concievably make for the next 50 years, we continued like the little train that could. Profiting every single quarter since the middle '70's. Is that better Mr. MC.

Well, about $88,000 went into my 401K for 2006 and 2007 (the max allowed), and another $44,000 will go into my 2008 allottment from the pension dump money. The rest of the actual cash went into other investments, including home improvement. The great part is that this year and next year I will still get the 11% owed to me by Delta each month (9% DC and 2% matching for the 401k), which is kinda like a "bonus." You see, they still have to pay that amount, and since my 401Ks are FULL for this year and next year, I get the 11% in the last check of each month. Also, my wife makes more money than I do, so we are doing just fine.

Folks if an airline decides to merge with another, PILOTS will be the last to know! The merger will be something out of the blue and totally unexpected. It is so funny how folks get on here and say they heard from so and so who is a check airman that A is going to buy B......NONSENSE!

USMC said, "...Do you homework." I did his homework for him. Good CRM right? I'm not bragging, I'm just stating the facts. There is a fine line between confidence and cockyness, but I dont see any problem with stating facts and being proud of my sucessful airline. Tough times could come, and I know we'll be prepared for them.
