AirTran Airways MEC authorizes Strike Vote!

Good points. What did you think of Hoeksma refusing to deal with Leonard back in 2006-2007? Do you think Hoeksma realized that the final price for Midwest would climb so high (over $400 million)? In the end, the Northwest/TPG deal was finalized to the benefit of the MEH shareholder and detriment of the Midwest employees. I think it is very important to study history to make sure past mistakes are prevented in the future as much as possible.

In 2007 Leonard said that AAI had been talking to Midwest for three years. When asked what the main issue was he replied "ego". Some joker asked "whose ego" ? He chuckled and replied " theirs". I actually think he might have been telling the truth.

One thing is true; 'Little timmy' made out like a bandit. The rest is history.

I pick on you boys at Air Tranny for fun!

Truth is that your Airline isn't too bad. I ride on you guys a bunch. XM radio is pretty sweet and so far... the flights have been on time!

Please identify your FI persona next time you ask one of us for a free ride somewhere. If it's my flight, I'll be happy to personally deny your jumpseat request and escort you back up the jetway. Then you can tell me all about what you *think* a major airline is and then watch you backpeddle and try to talk your way out it.

If I were you, I wouldn't try testing the courtesy of anyone over at JetBlue after you get shut out by us; because according to your warped definition, they aren't a Major either.

It's no wonder our profession is in a death spiral if idiots like this are running around in pilot uniforms.

Not 100% accurate

and I have flown 121... with an airline >>> and no it wasn't what I define as a Major Airline.... not that it makes a bit of difference to me

Man you guys get spooled up over silly stuff! Who cares if we are a major, regional, commuter or fly for Pu$$y Galore's Flying Circus?!?! All that matters is on the 10th and the 25th of the month when we get paid.

Everyone knows that Majors get paid on the 5th and 20th.

Just kidding

Oh really? So you have actually flown with a 121 airline, huh? Do tell, which one would that be? What you forgot to put at the end of your sentence was, "...as a passenger going to grandma's house". Or was it on Microsoft Flight Sim?

Either way, you don't fly for a Major, and based on your inadequate knowledge of what defines a Major nor any credible reference point to substantiate your revisionist history of what constitutes a Major, I'd say your battery is about dead.

Majors generally command higher pay and better contracts. THAT is why this is a big deal. Management would love for you to think otherwise so they could get you to accept inferior everything.

I think you yourself just proved why Air Tran isn't a Major!!!

 

[Ty Webb]

This argument is older than your grandad's underwear. AirTran is the same size as Alaska or Jet Blue. Get a life. The only people that hang out in AirTran threads on F.I. and post this kind of stupidity are a small, sad group who got turned down for a job and want to take cheap shots at AirTran Pilots, who had nothing to do with your rejection letter . . . . unless we knew you personally, in which case we probably had a lot to do with it.

Ya know Punky...I could sit here all day and prove you wrong again and again just like I've been doing. It's getting quite redundant by now but....heck sure why not...one more time! Here we go:

According to one of your various interpretations (depending on day of the week or if it's THAT time of the month for you) of what a Major is, your latest classification is that AirTran is not a Major because it doesn't have Major airline pay.

Well isn't that special. Let's just do a little fact checking mmm-k.

You run along now and hop on your little skateboard and mosey on over to www.airlinepilotcentral.com

Once there, take a look at the posted Captain payscales for US Airways, America West, and United on B-737 equipment (all Majors because after all, they do make more than $1B/year) for years 8-12. You might want to bring a pencil. Then take a look at AirTran for the same metric. Guess who's paid the highest on like equipment? Hint: Begins with the letter "A".

Have a nice life flying your RJ scooter for the rest of your career troll.

You Eastern boys crack me up!

Again I must say that riding on Air Tran isn't so bad. I think your company makes an effort to do things right and better than the competition. Fares are cheap too.

I think the last count of ex-Eastern still here was approx. 20, but that number may even be lower now due to retirements and medical outs. That's out of 1700 pilots on property.

How many ex-Eastern do you have flying at the Fractional that you work for? Your company still continues to buy you tickets on AirTran for crew movement, that's why you apparently fly on us as much as you do...so thanks for the revenue.
