AirTran Strike Vote...98 percent say YES!
I dont have time to read through all the threads but my recommendation to the AirTran guys is do your homework. Southwest is a stand up company and will treat you right in time. Re-Read, it takes time to work stuff out. Work with them and dont expect instant rewards/pay increases! Research how... -

Meteorite over midwest
I was in Lake Delton Wisconsin on the ground and we are in a campground on and off for the spring/summer. I went to lay down in our add-a-room Wednesday evening (beautiful sleeping temps) at about 10pm. I was looking out the windows (Western exposure) and about 1005 seen what appeared to be... -

Passenger lights firecrackers in NWA cabin, injuries reported
Yep and this flight originated in Amsterdam. They are the ones that didnt do security screening correctly and now all the whole US has to pay for it. :mad:Totally amazing that after all this time from 911 the BS just keeps getting deeper. :puke: I am waiting for a female passenger to try to... -

American Airlines crash in Jamaica
I used to use the rain repellent all the time, it worked extremely well when it wasnt all gummed up. So well that after you had a good coating of it on the window you didnt need the wipers any more. Its amazing how many Pilots didnt want to use it at all. I know guys that used to carry RainX... -

SWA letters to
Southwest takes "safety" very serious and its there #1 Mission Statement. Since your stirring the pot and obviously have a bone to pick with them, what airline do you fly for, Northwest? I would put Southwests safety record up against your airlines any day! -

Another Naked Passenger
FedEx has lost its pass privileges on SWA before for extended periods of time due to bad non rev behavior. Take a truck driver, add alcohol and there ya go! -

F9 to be pay protected at WN rates?
I have 3 words that are good review on how to correctly or incorrectly integrate yourself with a potential acquiring airline. 1. Muse 2. TranStar 3. Morris. -

Retiring NWA Captain Sums It Up
Great post and right on target. It shows you have been in the aviation grinder for quite a while now. I hope you enjoy your new job and enjoy being home every night with your family. You earned it and will come to love that life style. It's ashamed that we as Pilots let all this BS take over... -

W.Times editorial: Obama secretly ends FFDO program?
The tax payers literally save MILLIONS per year with this program. It cost $1500 per FFDO to run him/her through the course. For every FFDO that steps up to the plate to defend his airline the traveling public and his country ("FOR FREE MIND YOU AND ON HIS OWN DIME AND OWN TIME OFF!") from the... -

American 149 - Toilet Diversion
Many years ago I flew 135 Charter out of O'hare. We flew all the Chicago news crews at the time when a hot story broke. We got the call and launched 4 planes and all raced over to I believe it was either Columbus or Cincinnati. A DC-9 was there smoking on the runway and the top half of the... -

Branson offers Sully a Job!
Many years ago I flew corporate jets for a guy that had more money than God. I would think potentially working for Branson would be in the same category. Bow-ing to his every whim and laughing at his stupid jokes. Passssssssssss, having senority and a line every month rules! -

WX Radar to avoid Birdstrike
When SWA started service into TPA many years ago one of our planes hit 2 Pelicans at 250Kts on downwind over Tampa Bay to 36L. One Pelican went into the front pressure bulkhead through the ray dome and the other hit right on the top of the Co Pilots window where it adjoined to the metal... -

Anyone Have Their Major Airline Decline Unemployment Benes
I was just discussing this exact thing with a fellow Co-worker yesterday. I live in Illinois and he lives in Indiana. He told me that the Indiana Unemployment system is broke. I am sure Illinois will be soon to follow. -

Flt. 1549 Hudson Splash Down Video!
I know in the news they talked about the fast current in the river but the pictures really put that into perspective. 4 minutes from splash down till the first large boat was on the scene. Dam fine job by everyone involved! -

Say Goodbye to OPEC!
I just spent an hour watching all 7 parts of Anne Korin's commentary on foreign Oil. What a smart Lady! She really puts it in perspective and I hope that this whole initiative picks up some major momentum. Heres another link that I found that is definitely worthy of a look and tied in with Anne... -

B737 design flaw, pilot error induced by B737 design
There have been many professional aviators that have gotten this scenario wrong over the years. Some have paid with there lives and had a bunch of people behind the cockpit door follow them to nirvana when the wrong decision was made. I have had this problem multiple times over the last 26... -
