Pilots are to blame not alpa. There is no unity anymore, just a bunch of individual contractors that would sell their first born for a premium pay trip. We stab each other in the back for a few extra dollars. We carry picket signs on our day off and think that management cares. We are self...
The only problem is Swapa has zero leverage, and the company knows it. This pilot group doesn't have the resolve to do what it takes to get a contract. And now, in mediation (a huge mistake) our hands are tied. If this proposal is turned down you won't see a contract for a Long time. SWA mgmt...
The problem with unions is the pilots who are elected. It doesn't take long for them to settle in and get used to being home every night, expensive dinners on my dime, never work holidays, when they do travel they stay in better hotels. Some pick up trips on the side and make a killing. It...
Yes, that's the problem. Those nasty auto throttles. You know this new fangled technology that ALL the other airlines use is wrong. Why when I'm on mission status I never use auto throttles, no computer can fly as good as me. Did you notice my ring, I was at the zoo from 80 to 84. When we get...
"Maintain 250 knots"..... I can see the confusion there. Hopefully ATL tracon can find a way of saying that so it's a little clearer. Btw did I tell you I made 300 g's last year and I have two boats. Look at my academy ring, my flight suit is on the wall at the training center. You can't look...
Are you trying to tell me how to fly karma? Well back at the academy we were gods gift to aviation, those guys in Atlanta just don't understand how perfect we are.
Well then bubba, since you guys have it all figured out. I'll leave you to it. Good luck, you're going to need it. If you ever figure out that ONE thing you and your fellow bubbas need to do, be sure to let your union know.
Bubba, I'm just showing you that you are facing an entirely different management. You and SWAPA are like Wyle e coyote, you guys are standing on the train tracks with no idea that the train is Comming. The biggest problem is you senior guys are your own worst enemy. The company knows it, that...
Woody, SWAPA has no idea how to deal with hostile mgmt. the lead NC is an idiot. And from what I have seen, this maybe the worst union In my four airlines.
Woody, don't count on any retro.... The SWAPA proposal eliminates all FATs from retro pay.
I believe you had to be "on property before2012".
But you already won the lottery so you don't need it.
Bubba, your management did not care where we fell on the list, but SWAPA did. SWAPA went to mgmt for help that's why we were threatened. An arbitrated list would have looked alot different and everybody knows it. No merger outside of the AA/TWA and SWA/AT deal put 20 year captains in the right...
