Taking the high road - SWATRAN debate

[elcid]

Catfish,

I'm not making excuses, but swafo was an abused child and probably didn't mean it the way it came across... I hope. Okay, I don't know him actually. Either way, there's always going to be a pot stirrer on an anonymous forum. For everyone's sake I think we are better off not stirring the pot though. Pour a glass of scotch, listen to some tunes and chill (kick the dog, whatever). It'll all be over soon and we can tell our FOs about it years from now when its all ancient history.

Thought he was talking about OYS jumping in the fray(at 18 minutes). SWFO is just abused by his wife, just entertainment here for him.

[elcid]

Good point. See, I told you he didn't mean it that way!

 

[SWA/FO]

So you guys think streamlined Non-Rev travel on Air Tran and Southwest is bad news? Example: You are a Tranny with a Family you will be able to list and non-rev on Southwest. Or Second example: You are a Southwest employee with Family and want to non-rev on Air Tran = NOW YOU CAN!

Sorry you guys are looking for some hidden message here. There isn't one.

First off, not many "trannies" have families , many FL pilots do though. Second, you guys are already seeing immediate benefits with the carribean and mexico, what do we get, austin, el paso, and brownsville?

 

[SWA/FO]

and brownsville?

Not Brownville.... You get tons more options for getting places. Exciting news!!

 

[ATLplt]

Luv beat me to it...

Don't forget Harlingen. Simply gorgeous this time of year.

It is good news for those that live in each other's cities and mutual jump seaters. Hopefully if you are pass riding you'll still stop up front and say hi. Don't get used to the bidness class though.

How about you appreciate the job security you just inherited, this is an immediate benefit right off the bat. GK Stated that AT's Caribbean frequency is weak and is going to get a boost because of our route structure and passengers. Don't knock our cities, and it is Hrl not Bro dumb azzz. I am sure you will luv the Europe and Latin America that mainline SWA will bring to you too!

Don't be an idiot plz!

Amazing. The best domestic route system in the country and the easiest to non-rev on. Nothing but bitchin! Cultural poison.

Exactly.

Enjoy the Caribbean. Looking forward to Lubbock.

You're welcome.

I guess if you can't have a positive attitude, you might as well have a negative one!

This is great news, I'm sure we can all appreciate the added options we give each other combined.

This is right. Can't wait till Latin America and Europe.

 

[waveflyer]

Exactly.

You're welcome.

Almost every pilot who focused on swa as a goal, did so prioritizing a better company, people, culture, money, and schedule over exotic locations. I gave up a legacy, and so did many pilots here. There are regionals with a lot more vacation and international spots than AT- so please stop that particular one. You sound like GL.

What's interesting is it looks like we'll get all the spots too.
I'm looking forward to it, but a great company is always better.

At least you'll have a Gazzilion flights aday to get to LBB, can one of the air tran guys please post your carribean "international" schedule once and for all!

Wait until the two airlines combine and the 16 billion passengers that fly on SW try getting on the vast Air Tran "international" network...you want be nonreving anywhere...

Good luck,
KBB

(yes, the numbers are intentionally exaggerated to put emphasis on the grand "international" network that we are looking forward to nonreving on! Besides, I buy ID 90's or tickets on American, Usairways or Delta...just easier with their minut amount of international flights, their are normally seats!)

You've been sounding like a Branch Davidian for a long time Wave. Nobody reads it anymore. I preferred the workout tips and healthy living advice.

My "extended family" lives in Lubbock. I'm disgusted at the prejudice implied by your post.



Edited: to add a smiley for Wave. I was worried that he may not get the joke. I was also worried that we'd be subjected to his Legacy airline history and belief system for the hundredth time... Again.

Please. You have an ALPA leader posting on this board w/ a signature telling Swapa to 'go f^ck themselves'-arguing to be above CJ- sorry I don't appreciate that.:-/

If your family lives in lbb, then the appropriate last words are "thank you"

The whole "CJ" thing is getting creepy and dogmatic Wave. The rest I agree with.
