AAI Reports Loss

[LeeRoyJenkins]

What's even stupider is that you expect this to mean something in sli negotation or arbitration.

Stupider?

Its making more and more sense. Orderly deletion of Air Tran service means orderly deletion of Air Tran airplanes (717s). If the airplanes go, what happens to the pilots...furloughs.

Anyone furloughed prior to the SLI will end up getting stapled to the bottom of the list.

Ask TWA pilots how that has worked out.

You probably also believe that the whale (Moby Dick) in your profile picture exists as well..Huh? Quit dreaming ---- NO FURLOUGHS

Ty,

So AAI's route map is the reason you lost money? Should poor network planning make any loss acceptable?

 

[SWA/CA]

You guys who are surprised by this are just revealing your own lack of knowledge of who you're merging with.

merging?

merging?

Merging seniority lists . . .

Welcome to our world. We fly the planes safely and efficiently, just like you . . . . we just have some dunderheads running things.

Every other airline out there is watching this very closely. We could be a MAJOR thorn in their side if this works out, or a total bust if we go "USAir" on the whole thing. Bottom line, it's our game to lose. I for one would like to see everyone else sweat for a change...

Instead, you all will sweat it out during the arbitration phase. Then, the panel will rule, and you will probably see a mixture of the Airtran guys in the bottom 2/3s of the list. There will be SWA pilots at the bottom of the list, too. Just accept it and move on.

Sometimes I wonder which side you're rooting for here!

Funny stuff.

I just want it fair, and after that I want to see what the reactions are. Talk about a soap opera.

Stupider?

Out of curiosity, I did some "internet research" on this . . . . and stumbled onto a forum where people debate whether it is more grammatically correct to use "stupider" or "more stupid".

Now, that is definitely "stupider" than SLI debating stuff.

Apparently, either is correct, and "stupider" is the older usage . . . . stemming from Old English (the language, not the furniture polish).

Thank you soooooo much for caring!! We really needed someone to lean on during such difficult times......

Don't forget the 40oz variety.........:beer:

WN reported a net gain of only 5M, FL had a net loss of about 9M. WN is 4 times bigger, yet the gain was less than 3 times the difference. I wouldn't be getting to excited.

It's got PCL pretty excited. According to an AAI guy I know in the reserves he is locking discussions on the topic on some forum they use.

 

[NuGuy]

None of this means anything. The arbitrators will look at the date of "constructive notification", which was the day the merger was announced.

Nu

Let's not forget the mega winter storm that ATL experienced. Cancellations and the chaos that went with it lasted for a week. Had that not happened, AAI would probably have been profitable for the quarter, even with the $7M (so far) in merger related expenses.

No it wouldn't.

LOL!!! I laugh my a$$ off every time I read a post from a big SWA guy. It reminds me of the United post from back in the day when they were trying to acquire USAir. Man, those UAL dudes were so full of themselves back then. You know, it kind of reminds of someone.

Actually, Fubijaakr doesn't fly for SWA. With that being said I guess you don't find his post near as funny.
