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,

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.

"Deal with it"

 

[waveflyer]

I've always got that- lots of AT pilots chose it bc of quick seniority and ATL- good motivations- but the reality check comes from taking responsibility for the risk that comes along with getting on with a smaller growing carrier- you could go under- or you could get bought-

That's just being an airline employee man-
No guarantees-

And yeah- try the legacy games- you'll be finding new FO's every leg- and the ones who will fly with you do it to not screw the passengers but will be writing your a$$ up-
That's not our deal here- period-

Didn't I shut down this thread a while ago? Another reality is that pilots will b/tch- and when you do here- please know that most every one else- including exAT will be rolling their eyes at you -
What's done is done- this whole deal got dumb a LONG time ago- for no other reason than nothing is changing

 

[bluesideup1]

How is did they get raped? If you look at all the other work groups that went to arbitration it look like the Airtran pilots came out about the same if not ahead? What did you expect DOH or Relative? It wasn't a merger of equals and that was pointed out over and over through arbitration.

 

[Bwipilot]

From a birds eye view, there's plenty of people on both sides (RSW and FAT) who feel they got the shaft.

I'd note one of the biggest problems is that the company hasn't made any growth plans to improve the lot of the whole group. Hence, no one feels like they've gotten ahead--or will get ahead--for a long time.

 

[SWA/FO]

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.

Your making less money because youe haven't been FURLOUGHED, like you should have been, Side Letter 8. If its NOT about the money (BS!) why are you worried about making LESS money? Everybody is making less money now, becuase they cut the schedule, they do this every Jan-Feb.

You you choose to stay at an Airline that is srinking becuase your EGO sez you need to be a Captain, then you have no room to bitch. If your QOL sucks, I guess you don't live near or want to live near our 8 bases, ATL coming soon.... (where I will be #1 Captain).

Gary Kelly wasn't going to combine you guys unless you played along. He didn't want your POS DC-9 at all. All he had to do was mention this to SWAPA (thats why our guys are mad).

You will not be my Captain. I already upgraded. However, you will have a chance to bid on stuff, that I don't want.

 

[Kermit_D_Frog]

Can't wait to do my one leg with you, Clyde. It will be fun to grab my stuff, walk out and leave you waiting on a new FO or to get pulled yourself for the long journey to Dallas and the carpet dance. And since you are already calling yourself by one of Cartman's little friends, might I suggest you change your name to Polly Prissy Pants?

I'll bet that resentment predates 9/27.

Get out of the FI pigsty and ask some other pilots around the industry and see how many would love to be in a position to be a mid level SW Capt in 2015. Not to mention those that would love to be a new hire FO.

Your cheese got moved. Fortunately for you, it got moved in a better direction than most in this industry in the last 4 decades.

SWA/FO you are obviously just being a troll. Either that or you have serious mental issues. I'll be saying a prayer for you tonight.
