Airtran MEC voted no

[PCL_128]

Then why didn't the MEC let the majority of their pilots say so themselves?

Because it would have wasted a lot of time that could be better spent on mediation and preparing for arbitration. Sending a deal out for a vote when you know it's going to fail by a large margin would be ridiculous.

It appears this MEC vote had very little to do with the members input, just the minorities.

And you base that opinion on what, exactly? You think you know better what the members at AirTran want than their own elected reps do? The arrogance just keeps getting more outlandish.

Which airline was harder to get hired at?

Apparently not the one which requires the passing of a 6th grade grammar test.

This is beyond apples and oranges.

That's an insult to oranges everywhere.

As another poster pointed out, that example is relative skewed. If we used relative, the SWA pilots would receive an even bigger percentage loss than that. If you use DOH, you guys will still lose relative seniority percentage, so what's your point? Clueless.uke:

Ok,

Here is another number then if you dont like those numbers.

60% of us were being stapled into the lower 20%.

1737/7865 = 22%

We are 22% of the total pilot group integrated.

SWA management made a good decision then to buy great hedges. Do you expect them to ALWAYS make good decisions in the future? Then why don't you embrace this one?

I haven't found too many who think it was a "good" decision.

Wondering if LH's success rolling the dice over all the years might have come to an end. It appears this MEC vote had very little to do with the members input, just the minorities.

Lose the racism,Red.

OK, 15% of our pilot group were here before AirTran existed. How ya like those apples?

Oh yeah, you're real bright. I guess having a Minority Whip in Congress is racist. I saw the movie Minority Report, was it a racist movie? I had a minority interest in a business, was that racist. Stupid comment from an intellectually challenged individual, pathetic.

I thought we were the apples?
