25 planes 300 still on AAI side Jan 1, 2015, to be trained after the New Year. Cheers ya'all. Just what I heard from the MCO Rep.

That's one messed up plan to overnight lose 5% of your jets because you refuse to negotiate in good faith with your pilots.

I don't think furlough is in the works, to many bad iterations if it happens, but I can damn be sure we all see 5% reduced lines come May 2015. And it takes about 2 years of retirements to start upgrades again.

They can fly them after Jan1st. Just have to paint Southwest name on the plane correct? We were awarded TBA 717. With Jan 1st pay rates B717/B737 Cpt rates and Fo rates? NO?

Does not have to be a SWA plane it just has to be flown by SWAPA pilots on the SWAPA contract.

They can't be flown past Dec. 31, 2014 because SWA doesn't have an approved training curriculum on file with the FAA to continue operating the 717 beyond that date. So, that is why they will be parked and the Pilots sent home until Delta can take delivery of the remaining 717's.

All the manuals say Airtran/Southwest I believe? 2 day training event in Dallas and ID# and I believe you can go right back to flying 717 with SWA 717 Cpt and 717 FO. NO?

But bigger fish to fry...All pilots to SWAPA, Contract, 401k back to 11%, Profit sharing in a check or 401k(like United/Delta), and fix reserve, bidding and ability to drop trips, non rev system to show where we are on the list by name...

just my 2 cents...

What a genius plan. I mean thest guys are brilliant!! Over pay for an airline, piss everyone off during the SLI process, let the wheels fall off your product while you chase a imagined 15% ROIC, pay your competitor to take 2/3rds of your assets that you over paid for, delay getting your assets combined where you have to pay 300-500 employees to sit at home....whew....there is a bunch of dudes that know how to manage people, money, and run an airline!!!
