ALPA MEC tells Gary Kelly no thanks..again

[Andy]

Andy....Well played sir.

Koko, thanks. I understand jonjuan and kwick's concerns. I remember the majority of FI posters salivating over the possibility of United going out of business in 2003/4.
That's why I'm posting the downside possibility to AirTran's pilots. They need to be cognizant of the fact that they may be on the cusp of negotiating themselves out of a job. If they negotiate themselves out of a job, they can't say that they weren't warned.

Andy they don't like to hear stuff like this?

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Call SWA pilots cry babies, we can wait and lose nothing. We can wait, wait and wait, and still lose nothing.

kwick is a hater. I've reached out to him to no avail. He's passionate but he's all thrust and no vector.

And he's scared ********************less of losing "his" seat.

Gup

Wouldn't it behoove ALPA to accept the 6 month extension?

Fear has short circuited logic. Of course you are right, but SWAPA and to some degree SWA see judgment day on the horizon, a fair and equitable list. SWAPA/SWA want to drag this out, they fear being held to the process agreement, they fear the process.

Gary this, Gary that, Gary Gary Gary........ Gary is gonna get you! Gary will punish you! Gary is the boogie man! Gary don't play!

You SWA types sound scared ********************less the AT guys might get a fair shake.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!

Fear of fair and equitable, it's ooozing out of SWAPA.

But they don't need to be afraid, they don't need to hide under Kelly's desk, they can get up off their knees, wipe their chin and present a fact based logical argument to a third party nuetral. If the facts and logic support their position, then their is nothing to fear.

This quote comes from a guy who once said: "Age 65 WILL NOT happen.".

Remember that gem, Andy?

All bow to the great and powerful GARY....

Keepin the CULTure alive, one Herb Turd at a time!!

You Swapa crybabies kill me!!

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!

What more needs to be said? The fear from the SWA f/os is palpable.

From the AT merger update today:

In addition, Dan Katz, SWAPA counsel Jeff Freund, mediator Dana Eischen, and Southwest Airlines Senior Labor Counsel Joe Harris conferred multiple times via teleconference during the week to discuss various mediation and arbitration schedules. During the exchanges, SWAPA pushed for a delay in the arbitration proceedings, which we opposed. Southwest management offered to extend by up to three months their previously stated desire to conclude the arbitration process by December 31. In the end, the arbitration board accepted our position that the following twelve hearing dates should remain in place: October 11-14, November 14-17, and December 13-16. The parties also agreed to reserve January 31 through February 2 for additional arbitration sessions, if necessary. Arbitration hearings will take place in Washington, with times and places to be determined.

I do not have a dog in this fight but that name would have me checking my six if I was SWA FO. If there is a more experienced smarter labor attorney around I have not heard of them.
