AirTran DRC - judgement !

[FlyinGuy]

I thought it was a 30K paycut....now it is 40K. Wow they must be doing a lot of time and a half flying on that side...

Everyone is taking a hit. All lines will be light going forward, cus we are overstaffed on pilots. You're welcome.

Then why are we hiring 200 some new pilots?

 

[Roomwithaview]

You never had a case. I asked a long time ago what the specifics of your complaint were and no one could muster anything other than hyperbole. Looks like the arbitrator got it right although I haven't read the whole ruling. It will be interesting to see what he cites as specific.

Time to stop wasting all of our money and move on. Come January 2015 you'll all be swapa pilots. You might as well join us and learn to start hating them now.

The Fail Boat has sailed.

The sun is shining. My velvet smoking jacket has returned fresh from the tailor. The ivory money clip and giant Andalusian pipe are polished to a high luster. Cocktail hour is near.

Could be worse.

Dicko,

I don't know you but your writings remind me of someone whose book I just bought. Thanks for your humor!

Gee ALPA couldn't get it done AGAIN. Thanks for trying though. Can we just get this freakin merger over now!!!!

Phred

Yet another epic failure from ALPA.
Time for them to get the ##$% off the property. Tired of paying them money so they can give it all to Katz.

Yeah giving ALPA money when SWAPA should be getting it sooner rather than later.

Lets stop arguing. After this week, someone that was heavily involved, is no longer with us. If all this had anything to do with it, his family lost him over this BS.

Get a hobby and live life! Aviation/union should not be your life. If it is, seek help!

I'm a FAT pilot(in every sense of the word) and I'm glad the arbitrator ruled the way he did. Perhaps now we can all start pulling the same direction and put this BS behind us.

 

[waveflyer]

Oh I will. I'm Fun with a capital F. It just sucks that it turned out this way. This whole deal was handled poorly. Most of us on both sides lost. Some more than others but we all lost. It will take time but we will all move on. I hope I don't have to by beer for the first couple months though.

Best post in a couple years on the subject

I'm buying all air tran beers for a while if my capt doesn't beat me to it.
It's sinking in with most as we get more AT online , that this transition has been less than stellar for you guys
I'm sorry for that and can't wait to be through it

I second that




If Dicko ever wrote a book, I would buy one .

 

[scoreboardII]

More like trips over its own dick! .

ALPA must have 3 inch legs....

 

[OldManPilot]

I am glad this BS is over!!! Can we PLEASE get rid of ALPA and join our SWAPA brothers? The sooner we are one pilot group the better!!!

Nice posts, Wave. Thanks. Definitely appreciate that you can see how we feel. We know that it wasn't what you guys wanted, either.

Regds,
