Well, let's see, it's either SWA or Republic or TPG. I'm going with SWA. I heard this rumor, but didn't think much of it at the time. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
 
I heard its from a company based at Love Field Dallas that wants an immediate Mexico and Carribean footprint. Not sure who it is though. Lots of LUV....
 
I've been the same rumor of that little airline in Texas.

Immediate international. ETOPS. I like it.

But.......... I'll believe it when I see in on the ramp or in the bank.

Gup
 
I think in one day wn will be buying air tran, Alaska and sun country. Then republic will default on frontier and get that too. I've flown with guys who've been absolutely convinced each is right around the corner
 
Hopefully you treat those guys with respect this time, and don't just demand a staple. I don't think DOH would ever apply here, but a full staple is ridiculous. But, I wouldn't doubt your union will demand it, and expect everyone to bend over for you.

And, this would obviously be a swipe also at DL (NWA) in MSP, which isn't really a bad thing for us. If it meant adding more mainline planes back to MSP (to cover for CRJs or CR9s now) to compete, then it is not a bad thing at all.

And one more thing, if this means the Sun Country guys FINALLY get to go to LBB, then I bet they would be jumping up and down. Heck, maybe a staple would be worth it then........

A smaller pilot group would be easier for the Borg to steamroll.

Hopefully that international scope works out...

If im not mistaken, Sun Country is non union. Integration would be a non-event.

In your mind General, was the SWAPA staple any less reasonable than the relative seniority plus 36k per year indefinitely for every guy on furlough that FAPA wanted? Would that have been a fair deal if DAL were buying them?

The two sides were not given enough time to work this out. We might have been able to come to a compromise had Stemmler and the other FAPA guys shown up for the final day of negotiations. They did not, and did not return calls. Did you know that?
