Airtran pilots, what about this?

Hey Ty , here's your one reason, because we bought you BEOTCH!

Good luck with that one . . . . I'm sure the Arbitrators will be impressed with it. . . . Who writes your material, Johnny Cochran? :laugh:

Those were some of the "special circumstances" . . . I never flew with any, though.

They also tried to get Boeing717 through, too, but he washed out before he even got to the Sim . . . . .

I am not who you think I am. Why do you think I work for Airtran? Because of the picture of the 717? It figures that all it takes is a picture to get you to open your mouth and make a fool out of yourself.

Read the Wall St Journal article a couple days ago about SWA going to ATL. GK said a couple times that SWA NEEDED AT to grow, and it was a merger. Responses like the above, even if meant to be slightly funny, is really how some people feel. That's why arbitration is needed. A SWA jumpseater we flew to DTW said he thought the SLI should be done with W2's. The Captain and I just laughed, but the SWA guy seemed serious.


OYS

That sounds good for Airtran. ALPA gets you SWAPA pay rates until everybody is the same. That would take SWAPA out of the picture to prevent holding out. It would also mean that Airtran would get the same pay for the 737 and 717 as SWAPA gets without being represented by SWAPA. Who cares if SWA left you operating seperatly as long as ALPA gets the same benefits as SWAPA. I assume you would also get the raises that SWAPA will be getting? One other question, would Airtran also get all of the other benefits that SWAPA has like retirement etc.? It also means that SWA would be operating a new aircraft without giving their approval and that when it does come under their contraol the pay rate will already be determined.

All of that is WAY over my pay grade. All I know is that the mechanism for increasing our rates and work rules to match SWA's prior to Integration of the ISL is in place in the Process Agreement. WHEN it happens is purely up to GK and BJ.

As far as who cares if SWA operates us separately? I do. The "synergies" can't be realized fully until everything is combined. Running us separately gives SWA increased revenues with Scope relief to "connect the dots", but there's a LOT (hundreds of Millions of $$$) on the cost side that can't be realized without a COMPLETELY integrated company.

I want OUR company (a combined SWA/AAI) to be as profitable and successful as possible, which means I want all this done, synergies realized, and kicking tail in the ATL sooner rather than later! Not that I get a vote (well, I get one, but that's only when the MC/NC's bring us something to vote on)...

Whatever . . . Tell everyone in Mickey Mouse Land that Ty says Hi.

It's funny how APA will go to the mat to prevent Reno from working one day at wages less than them. Whereas SWAPA will go to the mat to prevent AAi from receiving their wages...just weird.

Who's going to the "mat"??

SWA/FO said:

Except one thing...... SWA only recognizes SWAPA as the sole bargaining agent for its Pilots. So you want our money? Either apply and get hired or honor the process you argreed to and get Acquired. Its simple become a SWAPA Pilot.

SWA wouldn't just giveaway the store to anybody? Its SWAPAs contact, no one elses.

$$$ Money is a wasting guys......


One of many examples. Weird.
