Stop the divisive SWA AAI stuff

[JT12345]

Get over the merger and get over yourselves. Move on and stop the negative %$&^%&. Stop giving the haters on here reasons to comment like the typical suspects. They will do anything to bring us down because they went through hell for about 10 years and can't get over it themselves.

Life is not always about you.

I hope you guys get over your terrible merger integration, and the ridiculous idea that almost all of the AT Capts had to go to the right seat, even though AT brought 737s to the merger. Good luck.

Ah, nothing quells merger quarrels like another merger... took DAL to merge with NWA to put the red/green show to bed, looks like AA will finally steamroll the McCoys and Hatfields into submission. Just go out and scoop someone up - like Hawaiian.

Oh boy. Don't do that.

Actually, most people have.

However, we can always count on dumbasses like the General to trot it out as a punchline, or to deflect away from other topics when he has nothing actually related to address or rebut. Case in point, and as predictable as tomorrow's sunrise, his immediate response above. Was anyone surprised? Doubt it.

AT brought over pilots and flight attendants, the planes were acquired during the purchase as an asset and as such can be used by SWA as required, there should be no imagined stipulation that because the flight crew used these planes at AT that they would have any dabs on them at SWA -

Face it Bubba, every AT 737 Capt is upset, and not just at ALPA. The SLI would have been different in arbitration, and that's why you're still happy. There is NO way zero guys would be given a Capt seat when the second company brings planes to the party, and Seperate pay rates on the same plane for 3 years (B-scale) even though bag fees were still charged on the AT side was pretty low. I can't believe your union allowed that.... Try to refute any of that. You can't. And Bubba, I know plenty of AT pilots here in ATL.

Huh? Whaaaat? Ever been to arbitration? I guess not. The process agreement called for arbitration IF the two sides couldn't agree on the SLI the first time. I wonder what happened after that point? Hmmm. Hence upset AT pilots.


Maybe you need to review how arbitration works over here, in the United States.

If you feel this way, you should have spoke up a long time ago . I had no idea that things should have gone different in your opinion .


I am guessing your holding back how you feel about USAir and AWA .


I am off to do 13 legs into LBB today . I sure hope Pizza Hut is open so I can run and get something to eat on my 7 minute turns .

Ahahahaha! Good, enjoy it, and get the "Supreme Personal Pan Pizza", you can afford it, you did great in your SLI.. I go to Europe later this week, and it's gonna be fantastic.

Looks like you've already forgotten your own position that "if you've never tried it, your opinion is worthless," that you championed several days ago.
You've never been at Southwest OR AirTran, so your opinion on their respective merits, and what may or not have been fair, "is worthless." You've never actually read our process agreement, let alone understand all the points involved, so once again your opinion on it is similarly "worthless." Quod erat demonstrandum. Certainly even such a simpleton such as yourself can see you're arguing against your own words here.

And no, not every FAT 737 captain is upset. Certainly there's some who post on this board, but inferring that was a universal trait, would be the same as inferring every Delta pilot was a blubbering buffoon like yourself. I'm pretty sure that's not true. So far, I've flown with only two FAT 737 captains (one who was even senior to me on the overall list), and both were happy as hell to be here. As have been every other FAT guy/gal I've flown with so far.

I've already refuted (several times) your ignorant "B-scale" argument, but I guess you don't read any actual posts other than your own, because you keep forgetting, and then saying nobody refutes you. If you'd like another explanation, let me know. This time, I'll type slower and use smaller words so you might actually understand.

And like I pointed out the first time--it's pot-stirring know-nothings like yourself who keep bringing all this up. And it's always with gross exaggerations, and BS absurdities or outright lies that don't follow the argument that your pretend they do.

Bubba

P.S. BTW, posting on SWA-AAI issues so stupidly as you do, has to make one think that your posts on other subjects must be equally as stupid, ill-informed, and malicious.

Who cares, old ALPA policy was pilots went with the planes, in the seats. Of course that was the old ALPA, before they sold out. You've got to remember southwest doesn't have a union, just an association.

Fortunately, Maru, you wannabe-scab has-been, nobody here cares about your opinion on anything, especially unions.

Jes' sayin'.

Well that escalated quickly...

It's over. There's nothing any of us can do about this. Moving along, nothing more to see here. All that matters now is that we grow like crazy and hope the check on the 5th and 20th never bounces.

Uhhhhhhh Bubba, I've been through a merger integration. Soooooo, I've got that experience. Just because it wasn't with SWA/AT doesn't mean I don't know what is going on. This ain't East Berlin, and I know AT pilots, and even some Corndogs.

As far as you saying NOT all AT 737 Capts were upset, that is ludicrous. That actually is humorous that you would say something so loony. So, guys in the left seat would WANT to go to the right seat, willingly? Huh? You must be DEN based, smoking dope. First off, arbitration (which every other airline used and respectable pilots adhered to) would have kept them in their seats, they brought the planes, they get to stay. Second, any reputable union would have gotten same rates for same planes (DL and NWA 757/767s got the same pay, a big increase for the NWA pilots). You guys did neither! You didn't help or further our collective pilot group, you set it back. Thanks.

To say you know AT 737 Capts who aren't upset about losing their seat to go to the right seat is laughable. It wouldn't have happened in arbitration, and you know it.
