Accelerating 737 from Airtran to SWA

[hairball1173]

Latest from crew planning is 6 737 to be shut down nov 30. That should leave 25 cap and 25 fo going thru school in dec 2014. But that the plan today. Always subject to change.

The only planes at AirTran on Dec. 28 will be 717s. I didn't hear that from anyone I just looked at the SWA fleet and did some critical thinking.

The last ""etched-in-jello" plan was that the 737's would be here until 12/28 (about 6 of them). Now that, according to maintenance, has been moved up to 11/30. Just wondering for those dudes who were hoping for the 1 to 4 months off with pay

Always has been... All part of the side letter between swapa and gk. No later than September. Upgrade as many as possible for perpetual reserve and no Captain slots for years to come due to the dilution of the lines and flattish growth to chase the coveted 15% ROIC. Maybe gk has a secret up his skirt and there will be monstrous growth but they can't even get the pilots to get the IPads in the time frame allotted. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Just thinking? Sounds more like Just drinking. Seriously dude get some help. :nuts:

Did you come up with that all on your own?

Maybe you should have a couple yourself and chill out.

There will be many guys with months off with pay.

You will love the 6 sims and a TYPE oral…Don't expect Airtran type training!!

Just my 2 cents…

They will fly Airtran planes till the last possible date…BAG FEES..
Yeah upgrade and be on reserve for the next 10 years…see why it would go JR!!!

WTF Ty? Seriously, don't you start to join in with the master of bitching. All of his posts are a commercial for antidepressants.

Sorry if you don't like the facts. Side letter was signed. Delivery schedule does not support the upgrades. Global seniority list is skewed and will guarantee a long time on reserve for the 74 to 75,000 seniority number captains. Just stating some of the obvious facts. Providing some accurate information... sorry if your knickers are bunched.

Back to the start of the thread: never mind. FLica doc just came out, and the Wyndham bar rumor seems to be true. Go figure ...
