Free TYPEs for ATA
Amerika has become the United Socialist States of Amerika (USSA). I'm not fighting it any more, I give up! I've paid well over $400,000 in taxes in just the last 20 years and I'm just tired of fighting the good fight. I'll take your food stamps, unemployment and a free type rating while... -
the dream gone forever?
Dream Job? Mariah Carey's lotion boy! Oh wait, this thread was about flying airplanes, nevermind. Forgive me I haven't been here for a week. Airline Dream Job? That ended for me when Pan Am shut down in 91'. I should have quit then but I still had hope. I have discovered that my QOC has been... -
Who will be Southwest's merger partner?
Do yourself a favor. When it comes from doing anything with SWA, R U N A W A Y F A S T ! ! SWA is a shark and will devour or destroy your company if you have anything to do with it. SWA will only get what they want from you, eat the meat from the bone and then discard your dry dead... -
ATA is the latest to go BK
I appreciate the kind words about ATA. Without a doubt the best group of pilots I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I didn't think I would ever find a job as great as Pan Am but ATA was even better. I don't think there will ever be another place like it again. ATA, flying metal around... -
Aloha Airlines to cease passenger operations March 31
I've been through 3 bankruptcies and maybe looking at 4, I feel your pain. Aloha Airlines, a very proud tradition and unique history. Hang in there brothers and sisters, it isn't over yet. We may be in line together, I'd be honored. Good luck to us all! -

SWA/ATA revisited
greenbayfan and Tanker Clown both added to my ignore list. Life is good! -
SWA/ATA revisited
Most so called SWA pilots on this thread are either SWA wannabees or just pilot wannabees. I love Swa, always have. I have many buds at SWA FA friends as well. I know from a businwss level SWA will do all they can to bury the competition, and that includes ATA. No hard fellings but for some to... -
SWA/ATA revisited
Not once has any ATA pilot even hinted at being at the top of any list. I and every other ATA pilot has only said we wanted to be treated fair. Thank goodness SWA's pilots are not represented by you because if they were I would rather have nothing to do with SWA. To be honest I still would... -
SWA/ATA revisited
Hal, Thank you! However: Dennison has gone on record with our MEC Chairman that SWA has no interest in buying ATA. Will a third party buy ATA and wet lease to SWA ? Will ATA just go TU? As the Jet Engines Spin.... -
Aloha, Aloha!
Believe me, I feel your pain. Good luck to all of us at post $100 oil. -

Aloha, Aloha!
You're right. I edited the post. I have been hearing that Aloha may be reforming and rumors of buying ATA are still alive. Any News? -
Organization Of Black Airline Pilots
I sure hope we see more boobs in the crew rooms of the future!!!! :beer: -

SWA/ATA revisited
To be honest I was having a bad day and the original post hit an old nerve. I apologize for my attitude and wish I could have deleted some posts. SWA pilots have treated me better on the J/S and in passing than any other pilot group has ever through the years, not to mention the tremendous... -

SWA/ATA revisited
Here's what you gain. SWA and your hedge fund company buddies have already trashed most of ATA. SWA would probably only take a few hundred pilots anyway. The few hundred pilots SWA would take along with our worldwide operating authority would mean thousands of new pilots jobs at SWA while SWA... -
SWA/ATA revisited
I'll just give my 2 cents worth. This is what I and many others think. ATA was acquired by a hedge fund company and worked in accordance with Southwest senior management to dismember ATA. ATA would be stripped of our scheduled flying while charter flying will be moved to World while SWA takes... -
SWA/ATA revisited
Believe me if SWA could just flip a switch and start doing the kind of flying we do they would. Please give ATA a little credit. We have been flying worldwide for many years and have the Ops Specs and various certifications that cost money and time to achieve, this has worth. If SWA wants to... -
SWA/ATA revisited
To be honest. I JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE!!!!!! I'd rather sink it than bend over and take it up the back side by another frigging pilot group. F U Love ya mean it! -
Airtran upgraded on consolidation outlook with Southwest
I know you think I'm crazy but I predict next week SWA will announce the purchase of a scaled down ATA Airlines and future plans for an agressive International expansion in Q4 of this year. No specifics at this time but that's my opinion and some others closer to the money trail. -
