AirTran to Sell two more planes; tougher union talks ahead?

[DCitrus9]

Nice posturing Bob, but my costs have gone up too, and I will not settle for anything but improvements. Regarding fuel prices: PILOTS DON'T CHIP IN FOR GAS!!

 

[RIDETHELIGHTING]

Man are you angry. No wonder you can't keep a job.

Thats funny.

 

[Frequency]

Looks like I will be voting NO again. But I will do it for as long as it takes to get a fair agreement.

Go take a look at Airtran.com and try to book a few flights. Yeah, we may offer a few $29 tickets between ATL-SAV, but alot of tickets are going for $200, $300, and even $500 for some business class one-ways. Who would have ever guessed Airtran would charging $1000 roundtrip for some of their flights?

Our argument should be we are the second hardest pilot group out there and we have been profitable for 8 years straight, where is our share? Not quit selling $29 dollar tickets.

You been doing surveys on your layovers? And who (dare I ask) is the "hardest"?

Yeah, we may offer a few $29 tickets between ATL-SAV...

Our arguement should be we are the second hardest pilot group out there and we have been profitable for 8 years straight, where is our share? Not quit selling $29 dollar tickets.

It was more than ATL-SAV. How about ICT-SJU for....$99. Ridiculous!

Meanwhile, I've got to stay in some $hitbag hotel while this company made $50+ Million in NET profit last year.

Listen up management...you are long overdue to start taking care of the employees who made your profits possible. Oh wait...that would be the SWA management philosophy.

AirTran Management = Fear, Intimidation, Zero Accountability, Piss poor decision making, Total lack of quality control.

Did I leave anything out? Yeah...they've got my vote of NO CONFIDENCE all the way. See you on the picket line pal.

The "hardest" eh? That's really gross. But hey, to each their own.

You didn't think you could actually say that without someone turning it around, did ya?

Tough talk for one who just came out of bankruptcy . . .

Why don't you worry about your own side of the airport?

Jeez you air tran guys are angry. Lemme see, didn't your company used to be called, value jet? Get over yourself tough guy.

Yeah, and how long you been at Delta? A month and a half? Get over yourself.

 

[tubelcane]

How many accidents has Delta had? Don't be throwing stones chief.

Good luck in your negotiations. It can be a long and frustrating process. Lots of ups and downs along the way.
