It is crappy because the pilot group allows it to be. A union is only a union when unified. There are 1600 pilots that pay union dues at Airtran but there is no union. Too many that do not stick to the contract, too many that do not know the contract, too many that will bypass the contract if it fits their needs at the moment, too many that bend over to be on time and do a good job like the cheap w************************* they are, too many that do not get involved ( I see the same people at the picketing events), too many that do not vote and most of all... those ridiculous brown leather jackets. They do not even have enough spine to get black ones.

ANGUS c'mon chime in here c'mon!!!!

We've come to EXPECT the crappy openers. I'd be worried if they DIDN'T put something worthless out there for the remaining sections... If nothing else, that should help solidify the pilot's resolve.

Any advice for more desperate pilots out there considering applying at Airtran? Apart from dont.

App window is closed for now. If you haven't applied, you'll have to wait for the next round.

desprate is a quality AirTran will be looking for. they like to walk all over you and a desprate pilot is a rag doll to them.

I have only had a CA show up to fly FO with me one time, and it was l-o-n-g before any furloughs. I have never had a CA fly FO on one of my flights since.

It does happen alot lately.
