AirTran MEC: Whine on!

[PRINCE AKEEM]

Isn't our current CBA at AirTran the one SWA gave us?

 

[freightdogfred]

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

Now that was a great argument

Do happy Pilots vote 98% to Strike and shut down their Airline?

In the delusional world of certain AirTran Pilots........Yes.

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.

 

[Sacha]

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.

I'd be careful about pissing on the strike vote idea, SWAPA is on the short bus toward "Unity" with the flattish wont fly campaign.
