Air Tran Bid: Is it closed? Results?

[dicko]

Seriously guys, lets move on. Dicko, you know damn well that you were offered pay parity, but your reps turned it down. I feel badly that they so grossly misrepresented you, but blame them not the guys here.

There was absolutely nothing stopping GK offering pay parity at any point after the AIP 1 disaster. He realized that he had our backs against the wall and took full advantage of it. The past is pretty ugly and it didn't have to be. It was a very clear, premeditated choice to make it this way.

Please don't' confuse the fact that I can see reality, as an indication that I'm not optimistic about our collective futures. I am. I'll never let this SLI get in the way of buying a beer for the guy or girl I'm flying with. Or having a good time at a job I love.

Dicko, I don't know where you sit on the new list but I got your beer brother. The future is bright. Trust me, I know how it is to feel burned,but every instance of that feeling I have had led to something bigger and better than I imagined. I had an old friend kind of burn me on the Delta gig. It turned out to be a huge blessing that I thank God for every day. Cheers Brother.

So are you dicko or crashpad or one in the same???


If you read and failed to understand it, we have nothing else to discuss other than what do you call the AT pilot who gets his longevity pay bump above his peer SWA pilot who will be making 2-4 years less?

It's called a done deal, thats what it's called.

I have seen nothing but good tidings and cheer from both sides of this less than stellar deal while walking the terminal or talking on the radio.

Someone needs to hit the eggnog.

Funny. I've always wondered whether "Crashpad" was a literal screen name. A computer in a Crashpad with multiple access.

You do realize that there are nearly 1700 pilots that think similarly ? It doesn't mean that we cant work together and it surely isn't an excuse for poor behavior at work with other pilots. It's all good Scoreboard.

Whataburger said it best.

Happy Festivus.

You too. We'll keep the Jumpseat warm for you. Hopefully, for not much longer.

Be well,

D.

Russ Mccrady's letter did state that the training plans are subject to change....

Maybe with Box Office or Zone Jumper...

Only if Zonejumper promises to give us her "vacay look," rather than the "reserve look." Yeah, YOU know what I'm talkin' about.
