    SWA/Airtran Process Agreement??

    Ok, so I understand- a 20 something 2001 new hire at AT who didn't meet SWA hiring mins can/should be placed above a 30 something 2001 WN new hire. Direct capt seat and a huge raise for the rest of the carrer. And the SWA guy only gets his upgrade delayed another few years. And thats fair...

    SWA/Airtran Process Agreement??

    OY6 You are right and and are much better off where you are. I am very envious of you. Because you are so very smart and provide such such awesome information and insight. And because you have the very best job in the industry. Does that make you feel better? BD32

    SWAPA has a transition agreement

    Hey, GT- I'm at your 8 year point at SWA, still just an FO. Worked 649 block hours about 18 days off average without working most sat/sun and W2 showed 221K (inc 14K retro) in 2010. QOL is pretty awesome. If the offer for the left seat came today, I'd pass. Not trying to show off, but you...

    Gary Kelly Ain't Waitin' for the DOJ!!

    Dicko- Ditto- Interesting times! Trying to stay optimistic, but when some of these guys spout off, especially the ones with no stake in the outcome, it gets a bit frustrating. I simply like my job. And want that to continue. Unfortunately 'fair' is a relative term. No pun intended...

    Gary Kelly Ain't Waitin' for the DOJ!!

    You see Dicko, that's the problem. You really don't know the facts and spew what you believe, not believing the truth. Look it up yourself at http://www.southwest.com/html/about-southwest/careers/positions/pilots.html I'll post the highlights to help you out. Flight Experience: 2,500 hours...

    Gary Kelly Ain't Waitin' for the DOJ!!

    That there is the rub. Check out the mins required for both. I'd bet there are quite a few AAI FOs the don't meet the mins to even apply to SWA, but they expect relative senority? I believe 1000 TURBINE PIC to apply at SWA vs 500 PIC at AAI. And a type rating to start class. I guess this is...

    AAI Pilots-SWA Interviews

    wow, nice reply ty- I care because I really, Really enjoy my occupation and the peers I fly with. I am simply very afraid that with your attitude and I'm afraid others like it, you have the potential, like cancer, to destroy the very reason I chose to come to SWA over other opportunities...

    AAI Pilots-SWA Interviews

    Ty- With your attitude, I hope you have the opportunity to keep your precious AAI seniority at your AAI pay rates for a very long time. I know that is the most important thing for you. I'm sure your union brothers would agree, I know mine wouldn't mind very much at all. Also hope you make it...

    AAI Pilots-SWA Interviews

    So Ty, you would rather have seniority at AAI then come over to SWA. Can't blame you, senority is everything. Money is a distant second ot third right? I wonder how many of your peers agree. You paint a very scary picture of AAI pilots.

    AAI Pilots-SWA Interviews

    Actually the raise is about $7000/ month. Total compensation. But using your numbers, it's only a $60.000 average raise. ( $84,000 using my numbers) And you still think you're getting screwed? Let those numbers sink in for a while.

    SWA-AAI Going Rogue

    I'm not engaging in this SLI discussion. I just want to ask why are 'seat locks' always stipulated? Your Capt seat is determined only by your place in line. That's it. You didn't 'earn' yout seat with anything but longevity. Your company shrinks, you may lose your seat. By the same vein, if...

    Drunk SWA pilot - Jay Leno

    He is not being too sensitive- maybe just a bit pissed that this pilot brother was accused, and he called in sick. I don't care who he flys for, it just so happens that it happens to be WN, and he happens to be a great guy and a great pilot. He was NOT drunk. He did NOT drink a bit that day...

    Leave SWA for Fed Ex

    Dude, I think I agree with SWA/FO! If you are really wondering where you should be, please go to FedEx. You will like it there. The worst decision you could make is stay and wonder what it would be like. In four years (or whenever) when SWA does something that you don't like, you'll be...

    Captain Patel coming soon!

    Not Yet... Not a Capt yet, still a FO for Southwest. I'm pretty sure....And I know he can get all the slurpies he wants. Cheers-

    SWA DB- DING You suck!

    Gator- Your response to Turbo speaks volumes. He was only trying to help. FWIW, 16 of the 24 in my class were civilian. One guy got in after his third interview. Oh yeah, he was military. This Mil VS Civ thing is really a bunch of crap. Also, just had an overnight with a guy on the...

    SWA beats estimates!!

    You are right! It's just too bad that those making estimates had no idea when Easter was going to fall. Too bad that they dont have you helping them with one of those calender things. Even I get those from my insurance guys a few times a year.

    Need advice with TSA issue.

    Here’s something that may help. First of all, I was Non-reving with my family and can’t (for the first time) print out (the night before traveling)a security document for just my 7 year old daughter. I tried to relist her with just an initial, and still wouldn’t get the computer to print one...

    UAIR pilots to vote

    He called himself an amateur ‘Anal Cyst’. Personally, I think you are a professional. Lowecur, Seriously, you keep me laughing, your inputs are very funny. Good luck with your ERJ shares, just remember that this is not a ‘hobby’ for most of us, it is our life. Just keep that in mind when...

    SWA vs. FedEx- Who has better SCHEDULES?

    Here you go- Sounds like you really want an example of a real schedule. One caveat, I’ve only been here at Southwest since Feb so it is by no means a ‘best’ schedule, but here’s mine for July. It’s, 4 on, 3 off, 3 on, 6 off, 3 on, 4 off, 4 reserve on, 4 off. That works out to be 13 days...

    SWA Question?????

    Oak, Ground school is about 4 weeks long, with the weekends to yourself. I don’t think they care where you go as long as you are prepared for class. After ground school, YOU (being a youngster and probably in the second half of the class based on age) can expect about 5 days before you...
