    Another Airtran/SWA cockpit thread

    JBall, sorry to hear that.....I've had a lot of SWA guys on my jumpseat, mainly ATL-LAS mostly...nothing but good conversations with them. It really says a lot about the guy if they are personally taking this out on you. No class whatsoever. If you decide to....PM me the flight and date and...

    Airtan Pilots

    Basically anything but OAK. Heck, it really doesn't matter...BWI, MDW, or even LAS. I think many of us here at AirTran have sat a lot of reserve in the last 5 years or so, including me. I'm off reserve now, but I can tell you it was a living h#ll back a few years ago. 10 days off a...

    Airtan Pilots

    CRJ, Just wondering how much the staffing changes at your bases over the year. Is it common for guys on the bottom to float around on reserve or is there more stability there then we are seeing? For example, can a reserve pilot move to a junior base and be safe from all of the "bumping"...

    How can I drink the Brown Kool-aid if I cant hold my food down

    I think the biggest thing for our junior captains is the fact that we will all sit on reserve for 10-15 years. I don't know how to do that if you don't want to commute. It sounds like the staffing levels change monthly at each base, so if you do pick a junior base to live in, you can get...

    Tranny ALPA MEC - Dragging their feet

    Thanks guys....not trying to be a smart@ass just trying to figure out the real deal.

    Tranny ALPA MEC - Dragging their feet

    These numbers you guys throw out there...just to add to that...I am an 8 year AirTran capt and will hit 180k this year. If the deal goes thru I will still be a captain, but on reserve for 10 years. What does a reserve captain make over there? Just wondering if I'll be seeing that 100k raise...

    SWAPA has a transition agreement

    Thanks, guys. Looking forward to flying with you all as well. Got some good friends over there, all great guys.

    SWAPA has a transition agreement

    Yeah, initially it really did. Wouldn't want to go through anything like that again....getting furloughed isn't fun. At the time UAL had the best contract in the industry. However, I am really grateful I had the chance to start over again at AirTran. Never took the recall....if I would...

    SWAPA has a transition agreement

    No, just a Ex-UAL now AirTran guy. There's actually quite a few of us furloughed guys here...UAL, TWA, USAir, ATA, Midwest, and about 30 retired Delta guys. I read this stuff and try to stay out of it. There is nothing I can do to control any of it, really. Just a pawn along for the ride...

    Integrating AAI into SWA

    Isn't the above just the legal stuff an airline has to include on the Annual Report to not get sued by the shareholders just in case?? I am curious if this same statement would be found on other airlines annual reports?? Similiarly, this seems like a blanket liability statement one sees at...

    What do RJET pilots think happens after RJET SLI?

    Not trying to change the subject....real quick can anyone tell me the number to call to list for a jumpseat on Republic for an off-line pilot? thx

    Airtran Pilots, Don't buy that new house yet..

    I just had to smile when I read this. I was called for a Southwest interview over 10 years ago....I respectfully called the lady back and politely declined. In hindsight, dumb move...and I didn't know if I would have been hired, anyway. The reality was I was about 6 months into my first year...

    Perspectives on an AirTran and SWA merger

    Sorry Chase, yeah, I'm an AirTran pilot. My take on it is a lot of f.o.'s from AirTran would welcome the move. As a junior captain so would I, as long as the integration is fair. As far as the top 1/3rd of the list, that is where there would be the most resistence in my opinion. One...

    Perspectives on an AirTran and SWA merger

    Chase, Here are some reasons I can think of that an Airtran/SWA link-up may happen in the future: 1. Out of the 20 top O/D markets in the U.S., Southwest is in 19 of them. The one city that they lack in that group is Atlanta. SWA could get into Atlanta in a BIG way.... 2. AirTran is big in...
