No worries. I've been watching this food fight from the peanut gallery and decided I couldn't bite my tongue any longer. I don't care what airline you work for for, we all need to respect each other as fellow airline pilots rather than the inane concept that the paint job on the side of your airplane somehow makes you superior to someone else. I have nothing but respect for SWA and they have done a good job at the type of service they do. I've met plenty of SWA folks that are stand up people, just as much as any other airline. I really do appreciate their pro employee culture and respect the fact that their employees are supportative of the place that puts food on their table.
But..... listening to the SWA folks on here they are starting to sound a little over the top in the self centered department The concept that any of them would see AT having labor difficulties as an opportunity for them is pretty sad. SWA and AirTran are two similar LCC airlines, just like DAL and NWA were two similar legacies. Of course their are differences, but by and large I expect that's what an arbitrator would think and not be wearing SWA colored glasses when you merge.
