We DO like it here, and although management isn't perfect, we're not going to change 'em on this board, so kindly p!ss off.


Thanks for MAKING my point...We DO LIKE it here. That's a revealing comment coming from Mr. Air Tran.

Seems to me the Southwest guys LOVE (or LUV) it at Southwest. That's the difference.
 
Is there anyway someone can tell us the "official" policy on the 121 PIC requirement?

Many of us would "love" to work for airTran, I'd like to buy the type to go to SWA but I dont have the money.

What's your point?

I'm really getting tired of this holier-than-thou attitude from SWA pilots and SWA wannabees. If things are so great there, then fine. Just keep it to yourself. Everyone else doesn't need to hear that your airline is better than theirs. You sound like a little kid bragging about how "my daddy can beat up your daddy." Grow up.
 
taxi speed

You're not taxiing too fast unless you have to hold the yoke forward to keeper on the taxiway.

Well SWA is definately better than Pinnacle! I guess that since you fly for one of the lowest bottom feeder commuters and came from the lowest, you are used to being crapped on.

Now was that really called for? Can't we just get along?
 
I Luff Airtran. There is room for improvement, however, I am very happy to be here and look forward to many more years!!!!

Well, over 700 commuters can't be wrong . . . . Heh-heh.

The 717 has some nice features that I wish they had incorporated in the 73NG. The instrument panel is the same as the MD11, they just staggered the screens so they would fit. The 73NG also has some nice features. Both have plenty of power.

We use all the bells and whistles- autothrottles, autoland, autobrakes, AIN approaches, etc. . . . . so bid the NG and help a brother out . . . heh-heh. Seriously, I owuld bid the 73NG if you haveprevious experience in it, no doubt. Why make it harder for yourself, and with 19 more coming this year, you should have decent lines and seniority before long.


So Ty, you think it best to bid the 737 since I 've been on it? I know it would be less stress during training but it would be nice to fly something different, not to mention overnights in MSY, home.

Either aircraft will do me just fine and am looking forward to a long career here. I wish all the best to my ATA buddies, lots of good guys there.

Simma down, clown. Some airlines, who will remain nameless, disable all that gear. Obviously, subtlety is lost on you, so try this out - ESADMF.

It's a job, not a frigging marriage. Save your "love" for your wife, or girlfriend, or, in your case, your "comfort animal". You sound like the kind of idiot that would wear his uniform to the grocery store. Get a life.
 
My daddy can beat up your daddy..
 
I love AirTran too... Let me count the ways..

1. I love the new bus program to the parking lot
2. I love the CSA attitude
3. I love Friday's chips
4. I love the carpet on the C concourse... and the elevator .. well... love it
5. I love our slow, safe, taxi policy
6. I love Joe
7. I love our new paint scheme
8. I love the way our pax cant find the gate 1c1... is really 1a.... ?
9. I love the 14 minute late letters.
10. (just a little sarcasim)

Your right SWA/FO..... I love it, the guys are cool , no big heads. We work hard and enjoy our jobs. Pays not bad either. Most want the place to be big and bad. We are a scrappy bunch and will fight for our place.... Thats how we do it... Its not easy at AirTran.... But we will be around and we wont take crap from those who throw stones ...

Those of you coming on... enjoy... and dont listen to the crap management is putting out... and one other thing... sorry about Idoc... You'll love it here.. good bunch of folks..

In that case, it sounds like the 717 would be a good fit, too. Either way, it sounds like you can't go wrong. Right now the lines are better on the 717, but at some point, if they start phasing them out, there will be a reversal of fortune. . . . MAgic 8-ball says, "Ask me again later".
