    SWA and Reserves question

    I'm pretty sure you're probationary clock stops when you are on extended mil leave. Dropping trips for drills and short stretches of mil leave should not extend your probation

    SWA hiring more.

    Not sure where you get 17 days off for a reserve line holder. Reserve lines are always 15 days in the 30-31 day months and 14 days in February. Generally consist of three 4-day blocks and one three day block in the 30-31 day months. They pay 90 TFP in most months and 84 TFP in February. You...

    Southwest Line on Credit?

    I live in Jax. I may bid there for the one leg commute.

    Question for SWA folks.

    One AAA battery every 2-3, three day trips is not that many batteries to carry. IMHO

    It's like AT ALPA is trying to burn their undeserved lottery ticket...

    Our Reserve guarantee is 90 TFP so I guess your right it is not 10 but 12 more.

    It's like AT ALPA is trying to burn their undeserved lottery ticket...

    AT FOs will be getting AT Capt pay starting in Apr 2011. That is all they originally hoped for when they took the job at AT. They are realizing their career expectations way earlier than they would have with a stand alone AT.

    How can I drink the Brown Kool-aid if I cant hold my food down

    AT MC marching orders: PROTECT THE CAPTAIN SEATS. SACRIFICE ALL THE FIRST OFFICERS IF YOU HAVE TO BUT PROTECT THOSE CAPTAINS

    How can I drink the Brown Kool-aid if I cant hold my food down

    I think if this goes to arbitration the AT pilots could end up with both DOH and relative seniority. At least as long as GH is in business. After that who knows?? GK said something behind closed doors to the AT MC to make them negotiate in good faith..

    The new Airtran merger symbol

    Congrats, now you are ready to be a SW pilot. I don't know anybody who wore that piece of trash except for chief pilots.

    How can I drink the Brown Kool-aid if I cant hold my food down

    SWAPA BOD votes unanimously to send to membership and recommends a yes vote. Telling the members we can't do any better in negotiations and probably will do worse in Arby. If we do worse in arby stands to reason trannies do better. The big question Trannies have to ask themselves: What will...

    Question for SWAPA

    Approximately 300-350 trannies are junior to me by DOH. In a no growth scenario they make 60-70K a year more than me over the next several years. But wait if I fly with one of these lottery winners and I satisfy all the fine print in SL9 I get an extra 1.25 TFP premium. The only good thing I see...

    SWA- Bags Fly Free But Fat Guys Pay Double

    in the words of one of the most famous airline pilots ever, Glenn Quagmire said "Fat chicks need love too, but they gotta pay!"

    Integrating AAI into SWA

    Nice post PapaWoody but sadly the "WN Family" appears to be acquiring some redheaded stepchildren and unfortunately we will be unable to send said children off to boarding school so that the "Family" can live happily ever after.

    Integrating AAI into SWA

    Man, Angus you sound like an IDIOT! Even your own brothers and sisters at AAI have to agree.

    Reasons why Airtran pilots are gonna LUV Southwest!

    Speaking as a first officer two months away from starting my 10th yr at WN, I could care less about the seat. I can make 180k-200k working 16-17 days a month and let's face it, it is about the money. I just don't believe a pilot who got hired at a secondary major ( or any airline for that...

    Reasons why Airtran pilots are gonna LUV Southwest!

    Johnsonrod, do you know for a fact that Airtran will not lose any seats? I wouldn't be so sure. Airtran guys will do well with this deal, but if you think they will subrogate the Southwest pilots seniority you might be disappointed. Hey if you guys want to keep your seat maybe you should do it...

    Will SWA and AT truly merge?

    just wondering if(hypothetically speaking of course) a few years after total integration WN makes a play for JB if Lear, TY, Kharma and the other ex-AAI bubbas will be pushing for relative seniority for the JB pilots because they say it is the right thing to do. of course by then the citrus...

    Will SWA and AT truly merge?

    how many years now have they been integrated? USAIR still working under old contract and AWA still under their contract. so it seems to be working great

    Southwest "Poolie" calls are going out

    Just returned from recurrent training in DAL. Instructors are saying trannies will get full new hire training as they are brought into system. PC will probably be a type rating ride. at least it will be free and u will be paid while u are in training. All trannies included even 737 cpts with...

    Will SWA and AT truly merge?

    Da trannies keep saying what they bring to the table is 35 gates in ATL. this is true and it is probably the main reason for the acquisition, but once GH owns AAI what is to stop GH management from transferring 5-10 ATL gates to WN and all the future aircraft orders (for a nominal fee of...
