Is "Tranny" a four-letter word?

[SWA Bubba]

Just curious...

Is the term "tranny" a bad word? Neutral? A term of endearment or of derision? It's obviously short for Airtran, but could also be seen as implying trans-sexual, so who knows? Some of the people on the forum refer to SWA pilots as "corndogs" and that doesn't bother me (but maybe it's because I don't know where it came from).

So what say you, my Airtran bretheren? Good? Bad? Like it? Hate it? Proud of it? Want to shoot someone everytime you hear it? This is sort of an informal poll. Also, is it "tranny" or "trannie"? Thank you for your support.

NOTE to Kharma Police: Don't worry-we already know what you think. Word is, you've got "Trannies forever!" tattooed on your shizznitzel.

Yes, still bored on my overnight....

Hey is this your Murse?


Pathetic.


They will always be Tranny's.

 

[Kharma Police]

TRANNY!!!!!!, recognize!

Seriously, it doesn't bother me a bit. Most of us are going to leave the "a" logos on our bags. We are already have our own dap when we see each other.

 

[GuppyWN]

I use it as a term of endearment. Kind of like calling us Cowboy. I asked the question here before the announcement and was told it's cool.

I think we need the MEC to give this a thumbs up or down to know for sure.

Aaaaaaaaannnyway, I believe I was asking the Airtran folks.

By the way, Kharma, where exactly IS one's shizznitzel? I couldn't find it in my anatomy book. I asked my teenager, and he just gave me a funny look.

Citrus guys answer to three things:

1- AirTranz
2- DaTranny
3- Big little a

 

[scoreboardII]

So the tranny crowd will have the 'a" on their bags, sorta like the Morris guys wearing black ties. Not a bad thing, just makes it easier to figure out what your cockpit chat tactics need to be.

 

[mroadster]

Only the Atlanta passengers say airtranz, the pilots are very professional and are more educated than you might think. Tranny refers to some low life transexual similar to the Swa versions of a gay grannie Grande. Its very demeaning and innapropriate. The hired acquired statement is stupid considering the employees had nothing to do with the transaction. If you don't like it vote NO! Just say NO!

 

[hairball1173]

If you call me "tranny" its because I am a lesbo trapped in a mans body. Call me whatevery you want but in 30 months "tranny" will be gone and we will have to come up with new names and I don't think many go with Southwest.

Living the dream.

Really? Its from the old yellowish paint scheme. It made your airplanes look like corndogs.

It will live on. Morris guys can tell you that themselves....your a tranny forever...we will all still get along...hell the kernels are still kernels

It was me and they were all lousy lays with bad attitudes and foul mouths. Alas, what's (who's) done can't be undone.

A's on the bag for ACQUIRED, any way you slice it we will know who you are there will be no doubt who were hired and who were acquired

its going to be a steep learning curve for most of you and I see allot of push back and fit throwing coming our way, should make for some very quiet flights across the country in the cockpit I am sure

Please tranny's please vote this thing down........... please do ALPA proud and vote NO

Anyone who calls me Tranny in my face will be missing teeth. And I have the training to back that statement up. You wouldn't even know what happen when you wake up.
Does that clarify how I feel about the name?

I cant wait to take your dumb a$$ back to the gate......in fact you will be replaced as soon as I meet your greedy punk a$$ Jed.......

Please vote NO and see how fast GK and SWA puts you on the street you TRANNY PUNK

Unless you bid FO, you'll never have the pleasure of flying with me. But if you keep running your mouth, we'll dance.

 

[Fly-By-Cable]

I'm getting sick of smart a$$ remarks from SWA crews on late night radio frequencies in traffic pattern, at airport food courts, hotel vans, and lobby bars. It's like stealing 30+% of my seniority is not good enough for you, you have to do a little victory dance in the end zone too.
My patience is running thin and I will stick that football up yours if confronted by another SWA guy on layover.

 

[Sacha]

Tough guy. I can't think of a quicker way to be terminated than by what you are threatening....I'll bet when you are sitting in jail your first phone call will be to ALPA and their response will be "sorry, we don't represent Trannies" click....dial tone......
