AirTran MEC at SWAPA

STAPLE TY to the bottom.

I was thinking preferential interview for Dicko.

Pilots are a bunch of morons with no concept of unionism. SWA was a stepping stone to the majors back in the 90's. A PFT outfit. SWA is no better then Airtran. Airtran was on the same path as SWA 10 hrs ago.

From a dispatcher? Are you kidding me. Dispatchers are want-to-be Pilots that didn't make the cut, anywhere.

If we go DOH I've got dibs on 1992.

Gup

Heck if that is the case, I will go for 1971.

Not to worry. The AT LEC cannot "screw" this up. It will be strictly decided by the arbitrator. Seniority will definately be an issue. I would'nt worry about the benefits, they will fall into place naturally enough. It's in no one's interest to have differing pay scales or benefit packages. Especially SW management.

Pipe Dreams

Which part?

1. It's going to arbitration (more than likely).
2. Seniority will likely be one of the few remaining items to decide, most of the other items will likely be agreed upon before they let an arbitrator have it.
3. There won't be separate ops or a B-scale once the SLI is decided, the companies will more than likely be combined and operated as one within a year or so.

Sounds reasonable enough, what part of that is a pipe dream?

It should not be a foregone conclusion that arbitration will happen- that's why rationality and a release of any expectations should be paramount

That would be preferable, but any proposed ISL will have to pass a vote of both Pilot groups . . . . .that seems like quite a hurdle.

Thats just great, but what about the SLI?
