This has been a major headache for everyone.. As pilots we are VERY in tune with respect to altitude clearances.. This shift has been a major one, and wasn't communicated clearly.. I think that ATC get's aggravated when we clarify the clearance with them.. There are a lot of possible scenarios...
Rich,
The current TFP conversion factor for TFP -> Hourly pay is not 1.167.. It is 1.149. Not sure where you came up with 1.167.. 10 years ago we used 1.13.. I'm not sure to be honest why it crept up to 1.149. Of course that whole conversion issue is debatable as we don't know what American...
Well that didn't take you long there ole Lear70.. Why did you take them down? You said you'd leave them up if SWAPA took them down?? I will withhold judgement until an entire TA is presented to us.. That being said, it appeared that 12 year CA rate was in excess of the 2015 American rate for the...
Haha... Never want to hear of someone losing their job.. But the first time I saw that dude on CNN I thought "wow, that's weird that they have a sim tech running the simulator for this reporter".. Oops!
General.
Seriously... Get help. I come on here every few months and the constant "my dad can beat up your dad" childish bull******************** is almost mind numbing. We all know you hate SWA, but get your ******************** straight if you would like to pontificate. Quite a few of the...
Come on in to BWI Kharma.. It's nice, and the water is warm.. But don't worry about my position there.. I'll be out of BWI shortly.. I'll be commuting to upgrade.. Let me know when you downbid to FO so I'll be ready..
Flopgut.. seriously, you gotta let go dude.. you are going to give yourself a coronary with your SWA hatred.. Your logic is twisted and sick.. By your assumption that we are going to put CAL out of business by flying to mexico from HOU, then move into IAH for pennies on the dollar.. Do you think...
Ron.. Sorry bud, hope you don't have hard feelings although it looks like that's not the case.. And to answer your question.. I wouldn't be convinced if they wanted a paycut. Thankfully that hasn't happened.. And I'm not saying the bag fee situation is correct.. Only that that is what they...
THE SKY IS FALLING AT SWA!! It makes me laugh when the "oh, there ya go, you guys should be charging bags and pissing off all of the customers like WE do crowd" chimes in.. Just got back from recurrent training and Southwest is very much convinced that we are actually making MORE money by NOT...
Ivanair is correct.. Nothing out of the ordinary for us to receive stuff straight from the company on a semi regular basis.. It's possible for things like that to happen when the company you work for, and your union are not trying to strangle the sh(# out of each other at every given...
I think the point isn't the names, of the people on the list.. The question that is being asked is this: How many pilots at SWA currently have, or have had apps in at AAI.. Answer.. probably 0.
How many AAI guys have had recent apps in at SWA? Who knows.. more than 0..
Are you kidding me? You are a clown.. try looking up stats on incidents/accidents per flight operation.. I guess if cowboys get it done safer and quicker than anyone else, bring it!
Dane Bramage has pretty much nailed the truth here.. I'm not going to get into a pissin' match here about it, but last year when I contacted my union reps, and asked about having a revote I was told by my rep that if we had a revote now, and had to change gears on this project it would look...
found this on another fourm..

I am a Southwest Airlines pilot and at the request of my union, the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, (SWAPA) am writing to...
There is no current flow-through with the ATA pilot group. I have heard this rumor from several Expressjet guys but have not heard it online at SWA.. Not saying it couldn't happen of course..
Modified Bose..
I have the UflyMike setup and LOVE it.. I've tried several other NC headsets, and didn't find this setup to have more noise cancel capability than any others.. I always fly with my left ear slight "cracked" though so that my CA doesn't have to yell.. These headsets are VERY...
