AirTran 737 Captains voting "NO"

[FDJ2]

Voted NO.

But it will pass...because for many people, having a gun put to their head in the form of a threat (real or implied), is not a risk they are willing to take. The moment that happened, "negotiation" turned into "extortion".

Exactly right. This isn't a negotiated agreement, its extortion from SWA and SWAPA. A truly fair process, with a fair seniority list is not what SWAPA wants, they want to steal seniority from their future co workers.

ATN pilots should not trust SWA and they should not trust SWAPA.

Before the two groups are fully integrated there will be section 6 negotiations, yet another opportunity for SWAPA to take another bite out of the ATN pilots.

The ATN should be careful of what they are signing away if they vote yes.

Vast increase in financial value of your career??? Not much increase if your furloughed.

You mean like the last time that SWA furloughed?.....Oh, wait, that's right -- SWA has never furloughed. Unlike AAI, United, and Alaska, I might add. And there's nothing to indicate that they will in the future. However, the financial gains to your career once on the SWAPA master seniority list are tangible and significant. If you're going to throw out hypotheticals, at least try to base them upon the realities of the situation. And unfortunately, the reality of this situation is that SWA Inc. has every right to dispose of AAI in the manner that they see fit. Fortunately, they have given you another opportunity to be part of the family. The choice is up to you.

"but we're hiring and AAI guys would be more than welcome."

Of course that offer means you start at the BOTTOM of the list...

No, no, you have Fubi all wrong. I'm sure that if Alaska hired them, Fubi would insist they get their original DOH, even if that meant above him.

Oh yea Alaska. I think I'd rather have a car battery dropped on my nutsack.

Oh yea Alaska. I think I'd rather have a car battery dropped on my nutsack.

On the contrary, would you consider dropping you nutsack on a car battery?

I did that once in Mexico on Spring Break, and I highly recommend it.

It's a pretty neat deal where everyone that is holding onto your penis get shocked too! Best 10,000 pesos I've ever spent!!:beer:

Not good enough.....Relative seniority......that would put a lot more above Fudge....after all...it's only fair

Save the culture at Alaska....it's the same culture Petri-dish that produced Fudge....

Uhh...i think that AAI seniority cease to exist when they were acquired by SWA and all the seniority loss has come from the SWA side...spin it whatever way you want...vote no and take a chance at arby/separate ops, that is what the sideline thinks, but they have no dog in this fight and it is easy for them to play loose with our futures...

It is always easy to give advise when you do not have skin in the game.


So who do you work for ?

or are you to embarrassed to say ?
