Leave SWA for AA or Delta?

[waveflyer]

Yeah, I don't like to give you attention, bc like a 13 year old you know you embellish more than any of us
Speaking of- 5 legs schtick - you really do need new material

Meanwhile- you have plenty of pilots who do 5 legs a. Day- you just view yourself as above them

Thanks Wave, I was mistaken. Red was on his Sixth leg that day doing intra Texas flying. I don't think there are any six leg days here. Thanks!

No?
I'm sure you do general
You just outsource it that's how little you respect domestic flying

Thanks to your 717s coming over, that outsourcing is decreasing, especially since 140 fewer RJs will result due to the latest contract. You should applaud that. The outsourcing is being fixed. Your PFT policy for new hires on the other hand, hasn't been changed. Please work on that.

You can say that again. Oh, wait....

You are seriously comparing a type rating (that's deductible) to DALPA outsourcing of almost 50% of their domestic feed over the past 25 yrs with no end in sight?

Not even close to the same Gen. How many Billions of dollars in wages has DALPA flushed away?

140 RJs. That's a drop in the bucket compared to the the total number. Rather embarrassing to the entire profession that DL had close to 1000 RJ airframes flying around.

As far as intra-Texas goes....I don't think I've ever done more than two consecutive Texas legs back to back. So plainly you have no clue about what you are talking about. I usually do two or three leg day and I'm home having a beer by the pool by 1pm on day three. Its a great schedule. And of course, no redeyes. Those blow.

Hi Red. 210 50 seaters will be parked, 70 new 76 seaters will be added, for a net loss of 140. If you don't think 140 RJs leaving is a lot, then you might be "Nuts!" (Think herb...)

It's great the 737 types are deductible, but they ain't free. It's too bad your airline still requires them for newhires. SWA can afford to pay for your training, but chooses not to. Just like Wave stated, fix the outsourcing problem, and t appears the DL pilots started with the last contract. Now it's your turn to stop something that hurts our profession. To say it doesn't is just wrong, and you can't justify it.

And one of those AT guys who initially went to Corndog school said he did 6 legs his first day on an intra Texas trip. They exist, and that sucks. I bet you LUV staying within Texas for 3 days and getting 18 total landings. Fantastic! Did GK say the redeyes would go away totally? I don't think so. And when I do an allnighter, there are either 3 or 4 pilots, meaning I get paid to nap. It's really great.

Some people can't seem to understand it the first time around... Come on guys, this isn't tough. This isn't VNAV or autothrottles for you guys, or ETOPS....

[waveflyer]

Pleases stop saying that you don't fly 6 legs a day, when the only reason you don't is because you outsourced it

Kinda like your company outsourced the type ratings? Not good for our profession. The RJ outsourcing is currently shrinking by the day, thanks to the last contract. You can't dent it, but your PFT deal requiring a type for newhires is still in effect. Work on it. Eliminate it. Do it. Do it.

[waveflyer]

Our company "outsourced type ratings"......?

That's cool little girl. Call it pft. Try and redefine the type as "outsourcing"-
There's just zero need to defend SWA to anybody at delta.

How many "delta" pilots do you guys have that qualify for food stamps on their 6 legs a day?

None. They weren't hired by DL and not on the seniority list. How many AT 737 pilots who are a part of the SWA seniority list make the same money per hour as their 737 counterparts flying the same type plane???? Answer that little girl.... Your perfect company has a couple big problems, the PFT deal for newhires, and the crazy deal with the AT 737 pilots on a B Scale.... Shame on you little girl...??....?

[waveflyer]

Such riveting conversation sellout

I'd love to continue, but it's date night, and even parents of young kids need to get it on now and then

Good night and good luck with all that insane outsourcing-

We should run that in the paper again- how many delta pilots are on food stamps bc their union won't let them on the list

I'll answer that for you, General.

The answer is "none." There are NO pilots on the SWA seniority list who make any different amount of money than any other on the list (with the same seat/seniority, that is).

AirTran guys who make the transition join the list when they get a SWA ID, and at that point, they're covered by our CBA and its payrates. While on the AirTran side of the partition, they are NOT on the SWA seniority list. Why I just pulled it up a few minutes ago to check. The SWA Seniority List is updated continually, is available on the company employee website whenever one wants, and grows each time a transition class is started.

On the other hand, there IS a different list that you can find that SWAPA has, that says where AirTran people will be on the SWA seniority list, when the time comes that they actually transition, but they're not on the SWA Seniority List until they do.

Satisfied yet? Probably not.
