Southwest slam clicks- c'mon captains....

[twepilot]

Hard to tell right now, upper 76xxx or lower 77xxx. But really its anyone's guess. If he is correct and they go past 2015 then yes Ty would re upgrade quickly. I am sure he will still bitch about it though.

How do those number equate to AirTran partition numbers?

so if 600 planes RON, then Southwest crews, one might boast, consume around 3600 beers every night while on the job ( if everybody takes the advice and drinks 3)...sounds like a great Ad campaign

To have someone with much less invested crow about their gains

The guys riding the bottom of the AT list since being hired in 2010 have worked harder than you've EVER had to.

Vested, invested, whatever.

Be happy for them and their raise.

Around an April/May 2001 hire at Airtran.

I lobbied hard for FO's to get the majority of gains in our last contract. Keep your judgements to yourself.

The senior SWA FO is a good gig...and has been lucrative in the past...

And yet, you bash them as being selfish dbags if they are happy at SWA!

How nice that you, funnyman, a junior FO, are enjoying your new existence, with no regard as to the seniority loss and pay cuts that the other half of our plilot group experienced, so you could enjoy your newfound happiness. Enjoy, but do the rest of us the favor of not being a complete dbag, many of us lost a lot while you enjoy your gains.

And for the record, many on both sides experienced major setbacks, you are in no way unique in that respect. Perhaps it's just that you enjoy complaining about it more than most.

 

[madjack]

Loss of any seniority, even if it is a means to better career...is a QOL set back....the AAI guys did not ask for this...but with that'd said, their loss is more than offset by the displacement of many SWA pilots, especially out east, and the top 3-500 at AAI will NOT lose their seat...

Dude, FYI I've never been on the Ty Webb hate train. I was simply responding to this:

because it was a ********************ty thing to read, being in that demographic. The bottom really freaking sucks right now. Peace, bro.

Edit: You throw around the dbag moniker at one of your co's, and then tell another one (me) to shut his mouth. You should take your own advice, CAPTAIN.

Those are very broad numbers Jack. I think 150 would be the absolute maximum to not lose their seat, with 300 total in 2015. It would be nice to get them off the FO list - Atlanta will look like the AirTran Captain list, except they'll all be FOs.

I'm well outside any of the numbers that you mentioned, which is nice

There you go . Do as I say. Not as I do .

Had a southwest crew buy my crews drinks in Buffalo because they got a better deals. Great group of guys and girls.

 

[waveflyer]

Damn Ty,
Tankerhead just old school pwned good ole Ty
I've heard so many stories of air tran cappy's being less than generous and less than cool flaunting their money to $$struggling FOs that I think there was a culture there that really doesn't want to hear captains bitch now.
Karma I guess

I had that experience a good 4-5 times at various places in my early career before I flew here. I had to overtip an ABQ bartender to let me grab a SWA crew tab in an attempt to pay that back- it's fun to compete for the bill like that- just a cost of doing business
So, I love hearing that^^^
And I really don't want to lose that
