Let's use 400K piano pushers as an example.
Yes, that is what I am saying. Insane, yep. True, yep. Sad that it is true, yep. Question, do you believe and agree with everything told to you by your MEC during this process? -

Let's use 400K piano pushers as an example.
Believe what you want, however, THAT does not make you correct. I already told you the comm chair made comments contrary to why SWA pilots were at the GO. You are believing a quote, but not believing the intent of individual pilots present at the rally. Clyde do us all a favor, including... -

Clyde, think what you want. Trust me, many of my SWA brothers and sisters feel we were screwed with this abomination of a merger just as much as you AT folks. Lets see, I'm further from upgrade, lost domicile bidding power (since all transitions are FOs until 2015) lost vacation bidding... -

Let's use 400K piano pushers as an example.
Two things: 1. I'm SWA and I don't feel as if I won anything with this acquis.....errrr merger 2. I was at that rally and it was NOT to support management. It was to support our union leadership who were meeting with management at the time. You see, we as line pilots were not happy with how... -

SWA Apllication Winow Opens 9/12
Behind all current SWA and AT pilots. If hired in January lets say, there would be about 1000 pilots still needing to transition to SWA. When they do, they are all senior to you. -

SWA Apllication Winow Opens 9/12
Not that I'm aware of. Back in 2005 you couldn't fill out the app without the 1000 turbine pic. I'm betting its still true. -

Actually CAs who upgraded AFTER the Aquisition announcement in Sept 2010 got to keep their seats with the Retention Slots. -

Southwest load check HELP!
Shows full. 2 seats for sale. No employees listed, however, 4 buddy passes or other listings. Scheduled to seat 137. -

Southwest loads
I believe the transitioned former AirTran aircraft only have one j/s, so the percentage w/o two j/s is rising. Still most 700s have two which that flight is scheduled with. Two is relative however. Not a lot of space if you're stuck behind the captain seat. -

AirTran MEC Chair message.
Thanks. That answers my question. I was basing on my DOH at SWA. -

AirTran MEC Chair message.
Lear, Just curious what info you are using to determine an approximate 14 year upgrade. I'm significantly more senior on the ISL than you, and the SWAPA upgrade projector used during the SLI voting showed me crossing the 50% line at @17 years. Assumed no growth and all retirements being... -

SWAPA Comments about 717
Regarding the "new hire" moniker for the FAT, on SWALife the training class rosters differentiate between Initial Training Class rosters and New Hire Class rosters; the FAT are all included in the former. Is the class the same? Most likely, but they are considered something other than New Hires... -

SWA to have a Q1 loss?
No, we don't just sit there. We monitor the second engine start and have a verbal ballet between the captain and FO, to include a little air for our customers known as "isolating and ventilating". :D -
