Airtran or Usairways?

[Clyde Frog]

So it is like every other airline out there. Got it. Thanks.

Yup, you got it.

I just don't want anyone to come here with false expectations. A bunch of guys have come here expecting something that doesn't exist.

I see you lurking there D, Get back to the books, I'll be in town 01/23. Have you found a Greek joint down there yet?

I'll take the ugly one.

You can always turn out the lights...

HEH HEH!

You can drink 'em pretty but ya can't drink 'em thin!

Sorta sexiest but 2 of my best friends have some funny quotes:

"GEE HONEY JUST BECAUSE I DON'T LOOK PERFECT IS NO REASON WHY YOU SHOULDN'T"


&


"THOSE HIPS WILL ONLY GET WIDER"

Not something you wanna tell the Mrs. when you are already in the dog house......:bomb:

 

[Captzaahlie]

a clarification if you will.....

WOW, are you getting the wrong idea!

AirTran is in no way a "mini-swa", at least not in the way they care for their employees. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either a wide eyed newhire from a crappy regional or is drunk off the company kool-aid.

Don't come here expecting to work for a company that gives a crap about you, they don't. You've been warned.

I don't think I have any grandiose delusions of the place but true I don't really know how the company treats the "hired hands". My comment was based on a dozen or so pilot friends that are pretty happy there at Airtran. Over all just about every Airtran crew member that I've bumped into has been friendlier than most . I've noticed them taking a little more care of their pax than things that I have seen at other airlines. Maybe I've just interacted with your airline on the good days but I think overall your HR dept has tried to hire some very out going and or positive thinking employee's. Guess thats HR's job....... but it was also a meant as a compliment to things that I've noticed while jump seating with you guys.

Thanks for the warning though......... I'll be sure to ask at my second interview when asked if I have any questions to say.....

"Do you guys really give a damn about your employees?" because Clyde say's it ain't so.....

(I'm just kidding around CF not trying to pick a fight with you)

Just because the crews have a conscience doesn't mean that all the members of senior management do as well...

Just a thought.

I understand but those are the type crew I would prefer to work with. It makes work seem so much more like not work.....

 

[Lear70]

Very true... :beer:

Our HR people are top-notch as well; there's an obvious culture disparity (and airTran's not the only airline to suffer from this) between middle-management down through the rank and file employees and upper management.

Two completely different animals. Doesn't *HAVE* to be that way but, more often than not, it is.

Anyone have any earth shattering thoughts on the choice? Thanks in advance.....

I predict you will choose AirTran. I am usually right on these things, just like last weekend...http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1798458
