Ground Crew to Picket Southwest

[Tanker Clown]

So does that mean that SW pilots know not to kill the Golden Goose....or does it mean that the flight attendants have bigger stones than the pilots?

Good one RetardedDog. PM when you figure out who I am. A guy PM'd me saying you were trying to figure out who I am. I'll introduce myself to you in the crew lounge after I get hired.

To be quite honest with you...you put some funny $hit out here...I know..or hope you are not that stupid to believe it....as for introducing yourself...we can meet on the plane when I meet the other flight attendants you are flying with....

Your leadership wouldn't do that to you. Your morale is important to them because the customers see it in the employees.

Then quit telling us how great we are while continually showing us otherwise. Can't afford a cost of living increase? Please. Mr. Kelly has taken a 100% raise TWICE in the past two years and millions in stock GRANTS - not options.

Mr. Kelly tells us we don't deserve a raise, stalls contract talks for almost 3 years, takes his bonus', fires pilots without cause, reduces our flying and then gives our futures to Westjet and a 2 year old Mexican airline with 19 jets.

Why don't you point out to me all the great things I should be onboard with and I'll get right on it.

Mr. Kelly has found the tipping to point of many fine men and women at Southwest Airlines. Somewhere, sometime a person reaches the transition between caring and apathy. If you knew what you were talking about you'd see just how many individuals at Southwest are reaching theirs.

It's really very disappointing.

This is just business. Actions during negotiations is just part of the business. Both sides do respect that.

Its the people of SWA that makes this a great place to work. And our negotiations does not change that part.

That's not nice. Especially coming from a guy so close to the bottom right when you're on the edge of furloughs.

It has nothing to do with being nice, its an undeniable fact, your the Village Idiot!

Luckilly the honeymoon is over for about 3% of the plot group. These guys just want to burn the place down. If you talk to 97% of the pilots everyone is HAPPY! I think a company that has never furloughed anyone and that is decreasing capacity by atleast 5% in Jan and Feb and still no f word deserves a little bit of respect!.

Says the brand new FNG who paid for his job, and might not be able to recoup his PFT!

 

[Tanker Clown]

GuppyWN, Gary Kelly should get a raise. Look at how he's led your company through these unsettling times. If it weren't for his foresight, you would have lost a ton of money. He spear-headed the hedges. He still makes a lot less than Glenn Tilton. I think whatever they are paying him is a bargin.

If you want a raise, tie it to profits. I'm sure you wouldn't want to do that because you know the economy is in the crapper and SWA probably won't see a profit again until 2010.

Scope, you might be a bigger idiot than A$$ Clown. You guys should get together for some brain storming.

 

[Tanker Clown]

MILPILOT, shouldn't you be picking up your unemployment check?

 

[PCL_128]

GuppyWN, have they actually been firing people without cause? That's got to be a first in SWA history.

 

[Tanker Clown]

I'm sure they had a reason. Maybe people should do their job and follow the rules. Those folks don't tend to get fired "without cause."

There are people that have been let go or have been given an unpaid vacation for doing some really stupid things here. The problem has been with the union and the company both have made mistakes.

First of all the type has been paid for, second if they ever have to furlough in the first place and then go deep enough to reach me we will have a lot more serious problems.

If you feel like you have to use profanity to get your point across then I'm sorry, but you have to forget about that rejection letter we sent you and just move on.

I'm sure you and Milpilot17 know about going "deep enough.":laugh:

Profanity? FNG=Furloughed new guy!
Speaking of letters, when can you expect your (furlough) letter? I'm sure with all the growth at Volaris and Westjet you can apply and pay for a job there.

A fine example of an apparently prevailing attitude at WN (except for people like Gup) which implies a vast superiority above all other competitors.

as well as a fine example of many idiots here on FI
