Excuse me. I did not know you were a mind reader. Why are you a pilot then? More money in mind reading.
Did you talk to any AAI LECs even?
Ah the demonization and propaganda begins.
Ask how it worked out for SWA captains who left for United in '99.
Nothing is guaranteed in this industry, not pay, not stability, not job security, nothing except your seniority number. SWAPA understands it as was obvious in the proposal. Today's vote shows you that ATN MEC understands that as well.
OYS The offer was worked out between the AAI MC and SWAPA. It wasn't just a SWAPA offer as you would like to paint it. The Airtran MC must have thought it was fair or they wouldn't have signed off on it. The problem is that arbitrators ideas of fair and equitable don't seem to jive what most non lawyer types consider reasonable. The MEC wasn't voting on wether they thought the offer was fair they were voting on wether they thought they could get MORE in arbitration.
Congratulations it's a huge day for you. You were right and the rest of us were wrong. I will most likely spend the rest of my career as an F/O which will cost me $500,000 in lost income. Bet that makes you really happy.
It is not just AAI pilots saying there is a problem here. It is a lot of piers watching this go down in the industry.
BTW, there is still "say" here in this process for both groups. Don't just sit, and let things happen around you.
I wish you guys luck too in this. I really mean that. Sincerely.
By voting no, AT pilots collectively lost $285,000 per day come Apr 2012.
Tell that the women folk.
The arbitrator will decide what is fair, primarily because your union couldn't offer something remotely reasonable.
OYS
Not sure what side u r on, but don't throw in the towel yet. Arbitration is the end process. You never know.
The money and better schedules will come later. Seniority is everything in this business.
OYS
And you honestly think that 6000 ORIGINAL SWA pilots are going to just sit back and let an arbitrator decide our futures for us.
Thanks for the laugh. Not sure if you meant it that way or not, but that is funny. . . . and sad.Calls are already beeing made to USAPA for some legal advice.

With DPA gaining strength which would be financially devastating for ALPA and the thumbs down from the boys at Jetblue, do you think ALPA will be there financially for the Airtran guys through the expensive and protracted arbitration/legal battles to come? Or will the Trannies just pay for it out of their own pocket?
Along with Gary Kelly.Uh, Lear we dictate your longivity pay, your vacation, and your sick bank.
