Hey PCL how many honorary degrees do you have?

Well Delta requires ONE, so PCL might have to suck it up and hope he doesn't piss off too many at SWA.

 

[FlyinGuy]

but...we will never forget.

Oh yeah you will...after a couple 5ths and 20ths...

Not a true statement. Some will some won't.

 

[SWAdude]

Not a true statement. Some will some won't.

Some people love a good reason to be pissed off. And any pilot SLI is good fuel for their fire. No matter the outcome.

 

[waveflyer]

Yep,
But donverita- I've seen more angry people get lied to than happy people-
People don't want to tell the guy who's pissed off that they're happy a lot more than the guy who's pissed cares not to tell people he's pissed- part of being pissed is losing your ability to give a sh/t.

But if you're happy around a bunch of friends who are pissed- you'll probably keep that to yourself

I've seen it time and again in my 20 years and 6 airlines- especially in union drives and contract debates

I chose SWA bc I want to be happy in a career with few that are-
It gives me the best corporate structure in the airlines to pursue and achieve that-
I will retire believing that AT pilots got a great deal, but nobody cares about my opinion or anybody else's about that- now it's back to the business of being the hardest working; happiest, wealthiest pilots in the business-
That's enough to focus on

It's not about the money you tool. Money comes and goes, always has, SW is not immune. Seniority is written in stone. Anyway, a lot of us will make substantially less over there.

I'll never forget this screw job, and I'll be in left seat soon after 1/15, controlling the operation of the APU, the write ups and the throttles.

Good times, good times.

Good luck...your career expectations will get a lot worse if you pull that

Sounds like a one way ticket to a short career to me. But hey, good luck with that.

Wow, and you have the audacity to call someone else a tool. By all means, try out that strategy, I'm begging you.

You do understand that not everyone is "all about money." Take me for example, I have a military retirement and the healthcare that goes with it. I wanted to be at AT since they are ATL based and that is my home. I did not apply to DL since their junior bases required me to commute. To me it is all about NOT commuting (money comes in second). I've got kids in high school and I will miss a lot of their activites commuting to a SWA base. Money will never replace that. I get frustrated by that but realize there is nothing I can do about it other than find a new job...oh yeah there isn't any.

You need to get passed the fact that not all of us bow at the altar of SWA. You obviously like the place - good for you - but have a little class and grasp the fact that some folks will miss parts of their kids lives that we can never get back.

Yeah, OK. Isn't the junior base at DAL in the atl? Le general?

I feel for you Phred. I am also not all about the money, hell my "trophy wife" makes more than I do. If I was a senior AT CA living in Atlanta I would definitely see this as a blow to my paycheck and quality of life.

If quality of life and time off are important to you, you will have plenty of options to massage your schedule. SWA really does have spectacular flexibility. You really can work as much or as little as you choose. I was able to earn considerably North of six figures averaging ten work days a month. The Atlanta base announcement should also go a long way to keeping you at home since I don't think it will be a senior base in the system.

There really is only one way to look at this whole thing, it is all over and done with so we may as well figure out a way to make the best of it,

 

[Clyde Frog]

Not everyone is a money grabbing, materialistic a-Hole like yourself Mr. SWA gearjerker. Speaking of which, and only since you brought it up, since your cult that flys airplanes bought us, our pay has gone down month after month.

By SW having to throw around threats and ultimatums to get what they want is all the proof any thinking person would need to know to come to the conclusion that the SIA was a screw job.

Keep talking your skit tho, I'll be your capt soon 'nuff boy.

Easy for you to say.

Personally, I have enough resentment to last the rest of my career.

By all means, let it rot your insides if that is what makes you happy, but the fact remains it will change absolutely NOTHING.

Again, easy for you to say. You'd be singing a different tune if your new employer threw you over a barrel and screwed you up the brown eye then kissed you on the forehead. Resentment and animosity runs deep compadre.

Again, deal with things how you choose. If you want it to be at the forefront of your life and negatively impact your entire existence, feel free to do so.

This is not my first career and I have lived through corporate acquisitions in the past. One of them not only eliminated my job, but my entire division. So, I do have some insight as to how you are feeling. I was left with no job instead of one that I felt to be less desirable. I chose to move on with my life and not stress over the things I could not change. You however will need to find out how to make it through this on your own. Good luck to you, I hope you choose a path that will allow you some peace.

You basically raped these people and now you are telling them to
"Deal with it." Nice.
