It's called Captialism! People don't start airlines to "Provide good pilot Jobs". You really believe that? It's a business that hopefully can compete and become profitable. They pay what the market will allow. They charge what the customer is willing to pay. That's what American Captialism in...

No! I don't think anyone is saying that at all. Most are referring to misbehaving kids in public and parents that just have no control over those kids.
I agree! I have many friends who are school teachers and they say the same thing. Parents aren't raising their kids they want the schools to raise their kids. A friend of mine called a parent at home to address a discipline problem they had with a student. The parent told the teacher its their...
There is no need for a kids section. How about parents be parents and raise their kids properly. When I was growing up, I knew how to behave in public. My parents had a pretty good rule for my brother and I, "don't show your ass in public"! In other words, act like you've been there before. We...
So management makes the decisions. They enter into the code-share agreement and ALPA is at fault? Please explain this logic. ALPA has not bought one airplane, made one code-share agreement but they are the bad guy? We won't throw stones at the million dollar executives who make the decisions and...

Troll565 what do you know? Please explain. Everyone would like to know more about your comments above. Are you saying that Falcon Air pilots are planning to fly Spirit work? Again please clarify your comments.
If AirTran goes on strike, only management knows what they will do during a strike. Management can prevent a strike by negotiating and giving the AirTran pilots a fair contract. The pilots have presented their full proposal. Management has had this proposal in their hands since March 2010. The...
I understand what you're getting at. ALPA doesn't hire pilots, Human Resources does the hiring. You may have pilots interviewing and making inputs, but the union doesn't make the decision on who gets hired. If Spirit decides to shut its doors, it is not ALPA's fault. The management at Spirit...
Sir, I will tell you it will not be another year! Even the mediator is becoming annoyed with AirTran managements stalling and childesh actions. The pilots at AirTran are mad as HELL! They are tired of the abuse by scheduling, the intimidation on the line and being scrutinized for just doing...

Because Southwest IS NOT interested in buying AirTran! Pilots for some reason think that these two companies would make a good fit. These two companies may merge, but it will not be with each other.
You are wrong! Many of the pilots hired at AirTran in the last 7 years were furloughed from American, United, US Airways, and ATA. Many of the guys that crossed the picket line at Eastern are long gone. There are a few but not as many as you may be thinking.
By the way, the majority of the...
