Alaska Airlines Pilots Reach an Agreement in Concept on a New Contract

[General Lee]

No pension is fantastic ?

Well, that part wasn't fantastic at all. If we do merge, let's hope you guys keep yours.

Obviously Gen. Lee has some issues he needs to work out on his own. He bashes on Southwest and now Alaska. Maybe he feels threatened. I don't really know, nor do I care. I'm sure he will respond to this because that's just what he does. Again, don't really care what he has to say. I admit I will read it though, because I enjoy the entertainment value. Who knows what the future holds for AS. I hope we are not bought by Delta because we are a great airline on our own. If we are, well then we will go from there.

Thanks for the public service announcement. If you don't care, then don't write anything. Obviously you do care. Hey, I think you guys at AK are great, and will fit well into our borg if it ever happens. Also, you will learn our secret wink, (it happens between 3 and 5 times with both eyes), our secret hand slap (twice with back of hands, then one high five), and you will learn how we tip van guys (nice people $10 bills, mean people 1 quarter and 3 dimes). You will LOVE it.

Something smells funny around Alaska's world and it ain't GL's B.O.
Our FAs just signed an extension to their contract with a crappy 1.5% pay raise, the pilots get an agreement all of a sudden, and now I'm hearing rumors that Horizon's negotiations are on the fast track. Could our mismanagers be stirring up something, to the effect of investing in Virgin America? Hmmmmmmm....

guys, just ignore General. he's a sociopath. he does the same thing on various threads for attention, that's all. I fell for it again, and so will others. every time he types, he looks more and more like a jackass, and I know he doesn't represent the class of Delta Pilots.

just pray that if we do merge we get to fly with any one of the professional guys there, and not this ******************************bag.

Gotta love all the conspiracy theories. I'd believe this even less than I believe that DAL/ALK will happen, and I don't believe that for a second.

Exactly. How would buying VA be more beneficial to AAG than just hoping they close the doors?

Well it wouldn't be, but that is also irrelevant. CEO's get huge woodies when they think about making big splashes like a merger would create. People would print their names in the paper and seek them out for interviews. Running an airline is always secondary to stroking your ego when you have the corner office at Angle Lake.

He'll be on everyone's no-fly list when/if he upgrades.
Once nobody wants to fly with him, he'll have to either downgrade or just leave the company.

Why let this guy jerk your strings...Ignore him and he will go away..

Yeah, right. That would happen. First of all, I will be the "funnest" Captain out there, and I will offer free cokes and peanuts to EVERY FO I have while we are flying. I will do every 5th walkaround. I will try to show up to the plane with ATLEAST 5 minutes to go before push. I will only do uniform "inspections" at the beginning and end of the trip. I will not complain if you are not wearing a Jos A Banks type shirt on the layover dinner (they are so soft, and expensive!). You don't have to wear the hat all of the time (when not wearing it though, you must be holding it). It will be a BLAST! The "Funnest"4 days EVER!

Or we buy Airtran and make a run on the ATL. All I know is something is going on here and it's not as simple as everyone getting contracts signed.

Just get used to having to wear this:

Yeah, that's the ticket..... Anyway, that wouldn't make sense since you just became our major codeshare partner in SEA for our future Asia expansion there. Sounds more like you will be assimilated into the borg.
