AirTran MEC: Whine on!

[FlyinGuy]

Zzzzzaaaaaapppppp...... Biotch!!!!

 

[madjack]

Ignore lists r for pu$&ys

 

[Skyboy722]

Perhaps, and I appreciate the input.

I started out with "abusing" but thought it might be misunderstood. Then went with "beating", but didn't think it would be practical for Mad Jack. Settled on "tazing".

I thought it was funny as he11!!!

 

[freightdogfred]

Okay,...

"Tazing an old lady" may be a LITTLE of a stretch in the analogy department...

As much as I disagree with most of your posts, I must admit I agree with you here

 

[waveflyer]

Well, at least you finally got something right. Seniority is measured in relative percentage, not in years. Hence why we are so pissed off at how much seniority we lost.

You being pissed is all about believing air tran seniority is equal to southwest seniority

It's dumb

 

[canyonblue]

I was in favor of arbitration, at least then I wouldn't be pissed at my future employer and current and future co-workers.

Yeah, because the 4 years that the Dispatchers and Mechanics got would have been better handed out by the Wizard of Oz. Then again, no one had the heart, brain or courage to send it that way, so I guess the Wizard would have helped.

No, I believe AirTran seniority was more valuable than SWA seniority. Someone at the 60% mark at AirTran was about ready to upgrade. Someone at the 60% mark at SWA still has a long wait because SWA was/is a stagnant airline. I know you think that your CBA matters, but it doesn't. Contracts come and go pretty easily. Seniority doesn't.

NEWSFLASH: AAI seniority cease to exist the day your CEO sold you...

You mean "ceased" I assume?
The arrogance of your seniority list is pathetic.

Just by opening your mouth you prove that you are possibly the most moronic pilot I have ever heard of. And the pilots at AAI elected you to office? Whatever you chose to do in life, just make sure it doesn't rely on complex thought.

Here's what the SWA pilots think of you....

This topic is over, we will never agree, good luck! You did not ask to get bought, and we did not ask to buy you, the CEOs did all this and that is the best spin we can put on it...we think you got great deal (largely because we still think SWA is a great place to work), you think you got screwed because you were sold along with your AAI seniority.

If AT was such a great place with a great future, why did the CEO shop to sell AT? This is not a metaphor.

Is this really a serious question? He made millions of dollars for himself, and now he gets to sit around on his ass and do nothing. He was probably not long for the job, so better to get a huge payoff before getting booted.

no doubt, what other ceo had been shopping to sell his own airline?

along with that questioning, i'd heard anywhere from 40-60% of the pilots had apps in at swa. can't say i've ever heard of any swa guys trying to leave and go to aai. i've a good friend who was capt at aai, he said a bunch of guys had apps at delta, fedex and ups.

pcl, if you loved it, good for you, but the numbers simply do not support the fact that aai was the end all that you try to make it. if aai seniority was as worthy to others as it was to you why so many outstanding apps? i can't say i've ever been in a conversation where anyone at swa, delta, fedex, etc, was getting input about leaving and going to aai.

Incorrect answer. Zero points.

Hmmmm . . . Here's a short list for ya, "Short Bus":

NWA
AMR
UAL
USAir

Rumor, allegory and assumptions . . . . Apparently, you never took a Logic class . . .

So, you're apparently not aware that AirTran hired a couple of dozen former Delta guys, huh?

It's bad enough to lose something, but to lose it to someone who is clueless to what you lost and and classless enough to keep bringing it up is even worse.

 

[texman]

TY,

Those Delta's guys you hired are early buy out guys. So it's not like they left for greener pastures.

Yes, but sometime around after 2007, Delta said they would hire them back as newhires, so then they had the choice to return to DAL as newhires, or stay at AirTran; most stayed. It will be interesting to see how many of them choose to go to SWA as 2005 AirTran hires, or return to Delta as newhires.

While we're at it, unless something major changes, you can count on seeing a lot of SWA F/O turnover in the coming years; if you guys don't see that coming now, you will be in for a shock. . . . and Widgeon will have to find another yardstick to measure the fairness of SLI.

what do these 3 have in common? bk. so aai was heading that direction?

trying to use some of your logic with the above retort. let me see if i can't get a number for you from a swapa rep. but i'm sure you'll say they are just lying, so should i even make the effort?

texman took care of this one.

i get it, you, pcl, lear and a handful of others didn't want to leave YOUR paradise. i'm sorry your world was so thrown up into turmoil...the heck with it. sorry you're here, really i am, best of luck to ya', i'd buy ya' a coffee but might give you a cup of water first to throw on me. you're the coffee throwing guy aren't ya'.

 

[Ty Webb]

Well, it's more than a handful, transitions from AAI CA to SWA FO are starting to be junior-assigned (not enough bidding for it). If it was such a lottery win, it would be going senior.

Btw, the coffee thing was intended to be funny, hope you enjoyed it.

Regds,
