I really do not understand your thought process, the SLI approved by the AAI pilots did not have any AAI pilots holding Captain seats at SWA, how can you be displaced from a seat that you cant even hold? Drink the wine and have the Dog explain the intricate nomenclature of a contract.

The dog said you are looking at it from your perspective that the agreement was fair, but ignores any other perspective but your own. He said you are missing the fact that the flying the AirTran pilots brought to the merger was their flying and any flying a SWA pilot does that was previously flown by an AirTran pilot is displacing the AirTran pilot from HIS flying.
Smart dog!
 
I own the HK P2000SK and love it for carry. Also own Glocks, but I feel more comfortable carrying the HK chambered due to its heavy (first) trigger pull. Plus, it's never ever had any kind of malfunction with any ammo.


Did you get it with the LEM trigger ?
 
Love the Glocks, but the 26/27 are too small. Try the 19/23; they're the exact same width, but hold more rounds and are easier to handle (esp. in the .40). For summer carry with shorts & a t-shirt, there are any number of single-stack 9mm models that'll do the trick.

Did not do the LEM trigger. My goal with SA/DA is the heaviness of that first pull. I believe you lose that with the LEM. I consider the heavy first pull a good alternative to an actual safety. Probably like most of you, I'm not a big fan of safeties on handguns.

Thanks Bubbba

I have both the 19 and 23
I. Use them for shooting IDPA. I just like something small for everyday carry .
The 19 and 23 would show to much if I used for everyday carry .
 
The sentiment of the statement is centered on the fact that neither you nor Dan have the slightest idea about the culture at SWA or what it means to an actual employee of the airline you both seem so happy to denigrate at every opportunity. I would never attempt to pontificate about what is what at your beloved Hawaiian because I'm smart enough to realize I don't have the slightest clue about what is or is or is not happening at an airline I don't actually work for.

The outsiders looking in only have the opportunity to make judgements about the wholly unique situation facing these two pilot groups from the perspective of the endless banal musings of the usual suspects (me included) pushing their agenda through bits and pieces of the entire puzzle. Outsiders are not privy to internal union communications or internal company info. Outsiders aren't listening to daily communications from Gary Kelly or Bob Jordan. Outsiders are not getting more than a tiny fraction of the entire picture. So please forgive me when I choose to wholly disregard the opinions of those that I know to be not entirely informed on the issues at hand.
Take everything you just posted and apply it to SWA pilots telling Air Tran pilots what a better place SWA is and how happy they should be to now be SWA pilots. You (SWA pilots) did not work at Air Tran and have no clue to what it was like to work there (just like I am supposedly making a judgment about SWA).

I am not knocking SWA, I am knocking SWA pilots with such narrow vision they can not conceive some pilots would rather stay at their own airline than be SWA pilots. I also realize that this only applies to a few SWA pilots and not the vast majority. But those few are the vocal ones.
