Could one of the Airtran guys verify the merger committee members that approved the SLI as these guys.

Airtran numbers:
333
752
953
960
1096

Only two captains, three f/os.

I don't work there, but what's the deal with these people? If there are 3 FOs on that committee, how could they like that deal? No upgrades in sight for decades? Geniuses blinded by money with no QOL for years? How many more questions can I ask? Good question?


OYS?

We only have four members.

Are all the FO's on the MC within the targeted FO pay bump?

Gup

 

[Ty Webb]

1 Senior CA
1 Junior CA
2 Senior FO's

The 5th person you are referring to is likely the Chairman of the Contract Negotiations Committee. He is an FO.

He is not part of the Merger Committee, but part of the Transition Committee, which handles the details of how we would transition from our CBA to the SWAPA CBA. For example, work rules, benefits, etc.

Yes.

And Ty is right on the committee composition.

 

[j41driver]

If you're talking about the FO longevity adjustment, only 1 of the FO's on the MC are on that list.

I believe that if SWAPA can convince this group that is a fair deal, then I believe they can convince the arbitrators. Also, the f/o longevity issues proves that the deal is about the money.

Would you not agree with the fact that the reason Gary continues to throw money at the aip is due to the fact that he thinks it's a good deal for him, his shareholders, his employees and swa culture? This deal cost Swa a fortune. An arbitrated one could potentially cost him less pending how elects to handle it. It also could end up costing him vastly more.

I should add there are some significant cost savings in the aip and that is my point on it potentially costing him more post arbitration. Examples are aircraft training events or costs associated with waivers to scope.

Just think how much of that money he will make back when he sells the 717's if this goes to arbitration?

and in turn how much of that $$$ will go straight into a variety of attorney's drug dealers bank accounts.

But via arbitration, they will get the money (eventually), and the seniority that is fair, something that many don't want them to have. The bottom 650 essentially stapled? COME ON NOW. No upgrade for AT FOs until guys junior to them upgrade? NO WAY. GK wants this deal done, and so does Wall Street. So, he will pay everyone the same if he wants equal work. Where is that famous Southwest CULTURE?????

This of course is another threat from Billy.
