    Why are the airtran to swa guys not voting?

    Speaking of MDW, what do the exAT folks think of GB aka mastercraft? Running for Rep out there.

    Southwest slam clicks- c'mon captains....

    Funny PCL, I was thinking the same about you! 'Let him be' Might be the new "Bless your heart", but just for you--

    New Costco Bag & 737

    Actually, I believe it does. It's just permanently attached inside the the upper outside zippered picket. Limits the use of that pocket, but I don't use the strap. Fwiw. Cheers-

    W2's

    DC-9-- that's the thing- When you factor in 3 weeks of Vacation that pay about 50 credits each. 2 sick pulls and lots of premium -- And living in base and being somewhat flexible-- it's more than doable. 9 year FO, in a JR base. 148 TFP average, made all kids events, but did work 4 Saturdays...

    SWA delaying new planes, adding used Westjet birds --article

    Ok, got me. It was late, and I mis-wrote. DOH with seat protection was the worst case according to my bud. You sure up some amazing expectations for your buddies. Also, you claim that the 'vote' proved that your fellow pilots were not along your school of thought. But your pilots were not...

    SWA delaying new planes, adding used Westjet birds --article

    So, PCL, you believed that a relative seniority integration was your worst case scenario? And you actually convinced your fellow pilots that they deserved and should expect that? I remember my buddy, an AT Capt, said that his union guaranteed that they were assured the SLI would fall between...

    Airtran MEC voted no

    Cuts both ways. AIP1 had offers of a prior 6 year AT Capt flying with a 10 year SWA FO. There were enough gems like that to frustrate everybody. All I know is that on the SWA side there was nothing to be gained on a personal level. No pay raises (ALL SWA rates on 1 Apr 2012), no new bases...

    Delta's Oil refinery

    So- if I understand this right- an OIL company sells a refinery that is unprofitable to an airline-- because the airline thinks it can make the oil refinery profitable. Even though the oil company couldn't. Right? Interesting.

    SWA to speed up Airtran integration.....article

    Luv2- Don't take this the wrong way, but I'd bet that 99.9% of SWA pilots would be more than happy to help you in your quest to stay with the planes going to delta. The LAST thing any of us want is to *make* you come to work for this awful backwards airline. I sincerely hope that your...

    SWA to speed up Airtran integration.....article

    UALX- The short answer-- EASY to do. If you're willing to hustle. And you can top that number. Be flexible. And be willing to work, and it can be done. No problem.

    SWA to speed up Airtran integration.....article

    Wait. Isn't that good news? You get to enjoy your senority before you get 'screwed' when you have to transition and are forced into a SWA uniform. I thought most of wanted to stay til the last day and avoid the hosing you're getting. Right? I'm so confused.

    SWA to speed up Airtran integration.....article

    It just dawned on me. Lear and the General are right. They both have finally convinced me that my last 10 years here at WN were wasted. I really should go to Delta so that my 'pay per takeoff' is the highest, after all, that is the only important metric. (Or whatever you choose, since pay vs...

    SWAPA looking to capture more Capt seats

    Hey Lear- What 'issues'? I thought the SLI was pretty much set? Thanks in advance. BD32

    AirTran MEC Chair message.

    Brit- I agree that you guys got screwed. You really should sue everyone you can to get what you deserve. Really. You should. Instead of just complaining, put your money where your mouth is and try to make it right.

    SWAPA Comments about 717

    Well, PCL, Based on this forum and your outstanding service to your fellow AT pilots, you have also earned your status among future coworkers. Capt Chase is the SWAPA president. He doesn't represent you, as you clearly like to point out. "WE ARE ALPA" is what you clearly like to display. He is...

    SWAPA Comments about 717

    Hey PCL, Is that the same respect you show with your tag line? Calling him out by name? And with you as a 'National' rep? Pot, Kettle.

    SWA. "warriors"

    PCL- wow man. Delusional much? I just hope that you are able to find your peace with this. Because its very obvious you don't want to come to southwest. So please don't. For all of our sakes, please find some happiness at one of your beloved ALPA carriers. You will be much happier, and I'm...

    SWA. "warriors"

    Dan - how do you reconcile the polar opposite ideas in your first sentence? We have a 'low CASM' and we have to 'brace for impact'? And I welcome other opinions, but will also call a spade a spade. PCL has cost his AT buddies (and some of my personal friends) hundreds of thousands of...

    SWA. "warriors"

    Thanks PCL for your defeatist attitude and knowlege of all that is southwest. It served you so well in your past life. You really 'helped' your brothers out. Why not wait til you walk a step in our shoes before you you spout off about your great knowledge. Oh, I forgot, welcome aboard.

    SWAPA NO voters

    Ty- Is that the 'would have gotten 20-30% raise' before or after you went on strike. Talk about credibility? Come on, man-- Life is gonna be better, but only if you accept it will. Or you can keep whining, I guess.
