Airtran MEC voted no

[Schwanker]

Good choice--Clearly in the best interest of their members!

The AirTran ALPA MEC has spoken.

7-1 to reject this lopsided AIP. That's leadership. Good job guys!!

Next stop - Federal Mediation.

 

[SWA717]

No official email yet. But 7 to 1 is correct.

These dumb sh!ts are about to find out Gary Kelly doesn't bluff.

He also signed a ligal paper saying the list will be arbitrated and then implemended.

"Fear ball" back to SWAPA side...

Not sure what you mean. I'm not too happy that I didn't get a say in the matter, but I'm not sure what GK has to do with what happens next. As per the process agreement, this goes to Mediation through September 30th, then if no agreement it goes to Arbitration.

I'm guessing you mean the SWA members? If so, I couldn't agree more!

ValuJet, AirTran, Guadalupe, Transtar II.........

 

[MINIME]

There is a god!!!

Yes there is. Did you really expect the outcome to be any different?

This would have been bad for any future merger/acquisitions. Possibly even for the other little known one, known as UAL/CAL.

I say, good on the AAI MEC for saving its pilots from what appeared to be a steamroll job on their Negotiators.

How long have you been with SWA? How long have you flown 121? I'm just curious. It's not a leading question, I'm too much of a dumb sh$t to know how to ask that.

Nor will the Arby.
