And what exactly do I think?
Since you're so knowledgable in that area...
I'll tell you as simply as I can. You have great guys there and you have dicks- just like us- what you didn't have was an equal career, job or stable position in this industry.
Excuse me for tiring of FLIGHT INFO AT guys constant whining-
Yeah- I don't think much if your thoughts, freight dog, or PCL- but I carry ZERO prejudices with me at work
I'll say the same- Just about every guy I've met from SWA was super cool, I've drank with them in Mr C's, shot guns with them in Artesia, chased FA's with them in, well that was a long time ago. Everyone of them, great guys.
You? not so much. Your arrogant-ass attitude is what I can't stand, spouting off nonsense about Airtran of which you know nothing about. You think nothing of my thoughts, i think less of yours. So how bout you just go pound some sand up your ass, and call it a day.
Have a nice life

Sacha, give me a f'in break. It's called Unity.
Do you think the UAL Pilots in 2000 were unhappy with their careers?
How about Fedex, UPS, NWA, and every other Pilot Group that has struck or threatened to?
The fact that you would even ask such a stupid question speaks volumes.

There was enough Eastern presence at ArTran to keep those planes flying through the strike.

Nice
Oh Im having a good life. Believe that one man. If by arrogant you mean that I know my career was better than yours at AT- yeah- I'm "arrogant" by that definition. Im sorry i don't piss on the years of extra effort it took to get to the bottom of swa's list, than it did to get to the bottom of air Tran's.
That's exactly right- AT wont exist in a bit- I HAVE acknowledged that AT was a good fit for a few hundred of you. For the rest, it's who happened to hire you. I have friend's at republic that are staying- content with their life- and it's a pretty damn good life at that. For them- they have an argument. Doesn't mean their seniority is equal. Same size airplane- is Virgin America's seniority equal to yours? Should their #1 guy hired in 2006, be slotted next to yours hired in 1994, if you had bought them?
Are you going to HEAR that i understand being in the top qtr seniority is a very good thing- that your quick seniority played a big part in choosing to stat at AT and it sucks that a company so much bigger and older bought you- you had your niche and it was working well for you. i get it. Are you going to HEAR that this time, or do you want me to repeat myself.
But regardless of a few's good situation,there is no metric where your seniority was equal to southwest's seniority.
If that's arrogant than f it, I'm arrogant.
The arrogant thought is that you're so pissed you couldn't leapfrog ALL of us AFTER you got bought-
I started posting on this idiotic topic when PCL confirmed that ATALPA would not be satisfied with anything worse than date of hire. DOH was your WORST case scenario- straight from one of your highest ranking elected leaders.
Meaning: you would not accept less than an improvement on where your date of hire would've placed you on swa's list.
If you don't see the BS in that, nobody can help you and you better just steel yourself up for a sh/tty view on this for the rest of your life
That^^^^ unrealistic expectation is the source of any and all AT angst. Sorry if you don't like me calling that out.

Well if was Unity you were all after, why didn't you all just have a BBQ and Brats get together?
So voting to Strike was a way for "Happy" Pilots to build Unity?
The fact that you would use such idiotic logic speaks volumes.....
The fact that you and PCL and Lear were running the Union using such idiotic logic speaks of a waste of Union Dues....
Perhaps you should have let all your Eastern Scabs run your "Union". Things couldn't have been worse now could it?
There is an upside of all your blathering though. Whenever I feel the need to criticize SWAPA for anything, all I have to do is think of Ty,Lear or PCL and the SWAPA dudes look like MIT Grads.....
MIT is a University....in Boston.....nevermind.

From flattish wont fly to a strike vote. Really?
Sure. Like going from a water pistol to a KAC SR25 7.62 in full auto.
Like going from a KIA to a Ferrari.
Think about the recent SL,s and not only the percentages that voted FOR them, but the percentages that bothered to vote at all.
The only Union Reps that would be that clueless to put that before our Pilot Group would be PCL, Lear or Ty.....and they wouldn't even be given the position of "Toilet paper specialists" down at Empire Central thank God......

Newsflash . . . Lear and I weren't part of the Union leadership.
.
Uh, that was tried . . . before my time at AirTran. It didn't work too well.
Sacha, for a guy who supposedly has 20 years in at SWA, you sure seem to be a pretty unhappy guy. I understand why some of the junior SWA FO's come on here to vent, but why would a guy with 20 years' seniority spend the time to make almost 500 posts on here, nearly every one of them an angry rant directed at guys who are all merged in below him?
Seems to me you have some serious issues. You may think you have 11 years left at SWA, but I'm betting you medical out long before then. Hope you're treating your wife right; you're going to need her to change your diapers, buddy.

Like I said. You don't come across as very intelligent.
Oh. One other thing. Why did you delete the part of your previous post that details something about Me and Wave, packing sand etc. etc.?
Then you post something about me being angry and needing help etc? Really?

And you don't come across as very happy. Guess we're even. :laugh:
Even if I am who you all claim I am, that wouldn't put me as one of AirTran's "highest ranking elected leaders" during the SLI. If you think my sentiments have any resemblance to the sentiments of the MEC during the SLI, then you're vastly mistaken. I personally never would have voted for anything less than DOH, but it's entirely possible that the MEC would have. So don't assume that my thoughts match those of the MEC.

Uh, no, we "get off" on kicking each other in the nuts. . . . Thought that would be abundantly clear by now.
Either put on your steel-toed boots and cup, or head over to www.girlscouts.org.
The choice is yours.
