M&A airtran apps at SWA ??? like frontier

[MDP727]

Southwest should offer the same deal Airtran offered the ATA guys when Airtran almost bought ATA. You guys keep flying in MDW for the first six months until we can get aircraft and pilots to replace you there.

You are truly delusional aren't you? RAH become extinct without the purchase of F9...Ha ha ha ha. If the F9 purchase didn't go down Republic would have bought Compass and secured more Delta flying. Straight from BB's mouth

Put the meth pipe down big boy, Remind me how many companies came to the table to finance your rear out of BK? (crickets)...... Thats right, just Republic.

If you're a female, 5'7" and blond, I might have a little crush on you and I already told you what a Eunuch is....but just incase you forgot
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eunuch

Now please educate yourself so you can't claim ignorance

Learn how to spell and re-read then we will talk. Idiot.
You will never get it......Just like you will never get hired by a "REAL" airline. You will always be a "bottom" feeder.

Btw, we "allowed" you to keep your job. If RAH did not purchase F9, RAH would be extinct. ((Kinda like people going to the grocery store to buy food to live))<--I dont expect a moran like you to understand this, so keep on thinking what you think.

Idiot.

Yeah, but our contract opens up again in one year. We're going to ask for a million bucks an hour. So now the gap is even wider.

My point is that we both know that AT is never gonna get that new contract, so that is meaningless...

Sw is buying AT because together it will be a much stronger airline.

The only way to go is relative seniority.

AirTran has faster upgrades and more future growth. Their new contract
would certainly have narrowed the "pay gap" with SW.

OK gang chill out. I am still for both companies. I hope all sides are happy once this thing is done and we don't end up in arbitration or worse, hating each other. We did not do this, we are just out flying planes and drinking beers. I was just asking the question if it would make a difference. cya on the line

Uh, as everyone was that got thrown into this same situation.............there will be plenty more to come.

They have a new contract? No they dont. It doesnt mean a darn thing until it is done. Who gives a rats behind about their upgrades. Our FO's make more NOW, under our CURRENT contract. Not to mention better bennies and QOL. OOOO a fourth stripe. Way to go big boys. I pay bills with money not stripes on my shoulder.

Now I hope it is fair for BOTH pilot groups. But trannies are crack smokin if they think relative would be fair. How many FO's at both companies are excited? Or all pilots at both? What do you think the lack of excitement for SWA pilots is due to? How about the grins on Tranny pilots? Hypocrites! It needs to be fair for both groups and we all need to be as equally pissed off. Then we will know it was done right.

I can tell you that none of the AT pilots want to scr3w SWA guys. On the contrary, who wants to go fly with guys who are p!ssed at you? AT pilots are excited and cautiously optimistic for the future of the combined company. Line pukes won't decide this, and I for one like to enjoy flying so I don't want the majority of SWA pilots feeling hosed. I'm sure the SLI will have it's detractors but hopefully they'll be split evenly among both groups which should mean it's fair. We should all turn it down a notch and let the reps do their jobs.

Hope that you can sell Airtran on DOH
Because arbitration will probably result
In relative seniority.

You still keep your pay, seat and
Domicile. What's your beef?
Your upgrade probably will be quicker as a result of the anticipated growth after the merger.


Growth after the merger.

what is a peep

Apparently, SW is accepting applications from small marshmellow chickens.

Hey Carl...It's OK to say 'screw' AND 'pissed'.

 

[starchkr]

Nindiri...thank you. It's actually pretty sad to see a grownup (well i'm assuming he is) try to use phraseology from the 2009 High School playbook.

Popeye...dude, you need help! Is it really that hard to see what Animaltale is trying to tell you?! I noticed it before he even pointed it out! God help us all if the likes of you ever try to advance themselves in the industry.

 

[Bob_Sacamano]

You will get relative seniority...at your current payrates. :laugh:

Going to Arbitration=would be my guess !!

AT is getting what 50 airplanes in next 5-6 years. Which I am sure will now be 800's.
SW will be doing some Intl stuff. Will have 32 gates in ATL, only LAS has more. worlds busiest airport. DCA slots now, alot more LGAs

AT FO expectations are upgrade at 6-7 years (was 2-3 years but no longer)
SW FO " " " at 9-10 years

It is not like anyone is going to gain thousands of numbers one way or the other.
AT FO is not going on top of SW CPT. AT Cpts will most likely hold their seats.

So fight it out b/w FOs.. If you do DL/NW, versus ratios different ways...you are within couple hundred numbers of where you will be..Just play with some numbers to see where you would be... 7/2 4/1 (if they keep the 800 top SWA guys that were there before 1993.) Your relative seniority would not change. Makes most sense to me...but I am near the bottom so no dog in the fight here.

Thanks, guy.

I give up on Popeye. My guess is that he is young and inexperienced. One day he will get it.
