Airtran pilots, what about this?

[Ty Webb]

Keep thinking that I work for Airtran. One of you stated I did not work for Airtran but worked for SWA. I guess you never really know who you are talking to on this site. Well, except for a couple of them and we all know who they are.

Yeah, that and your i.p. address. If you've been on this board since 1996, you'd know where to find it, too. Welcome to the party, junior.:laugh:

Ty: every SWA pilot on the property, interviewed, got a type, had a probationary year and worked up the seniority list....if you end up anywhere OTHER than at the bottom of the SWA MSL, you will be getting something no other pilot has ever gotten...yet, that is not enough...What makes you so special? Oh, Federal Law...

Your company chose to buy the airline I fly for, and merge it with the other airline they own, the one you fly for.

Some pilots are handling it better than others.

LOL! Aint that the truth.

That's a funny one-liner!

Mama GUP,

How do you know Airtran's next contract wouldn't have mirrored yours? Do you know for certain? Again, are you sure?

An arbitrator or group of them will look at what each group brings to the table, like fleet size, aircraft type, and career expectations. But, payrates come and go. Recessions, high oil, BKs can do that to anyone's contract. A joint contract before the SLI equalizes everything. Now we see why SWAPA may not want to do that, which at the same time is mean towards your new family members. Take note Airtran pilots.

The money comes and goes but seniority is forever? How's your seniority at United working out for you?

I rest my case.

Ouch, owned yet again.

 

[SWA/FO]

Yeah OY6...did you find all that money you lost?

Hopefully after the SLI, you won't have to know the same if SWA has major problems like more inflight tuna can incidents. And I still have my seniority at my old company, but right now it isn't worth much. I could probably return if I wanted to, but I love my new one. It will be interesting to see how you do when Ty is 500 numbers ahead of you. (owned)

You will be 2000 numbers behind Ty. Yeah, ouch, and OWNED.

More than 2700 views to this thread. Nope, not been ignored that much. You and the other corndogs are OWNED. And, plenty of Airtran pilots will be senior to you eventually, it is a certainty. You can't escape being owned by Ty Webb and co.

Good lord men- give it a rest. There will be plenty of AT pilots senior to plenty of SWA pilots-
It's the definition of "plenty" that will determine if that bird will fly. Better yet, in 5 years there will be so many exciting things going on here that we will all regret giving this much emotion to the issue.
Deep breath, no one is screwing anyone on either side - bc in the end we're on the same side- and have bigger concerns than this.

Looks like you're surprised at the reaction of some of your guys too. What a shame. That guy SWA F/O is a real tool, and he believes what he says too. Yes, you will eventually all be on one side, just like the USAir guys. Time for you guys to treat the Airtran guys with more respect.

I hope everyone gets this. Couldn't have said it any better. Spread the luv and stop bashing on each other. There's a very bright future ahead. Let the MC's focus on their job and be positive.
