ALPA MEC tells Gary Kelly no thanks..again

[CF34-3B1]

roughneck and cruncher,swapa asked for a 6 month extension gk said no more than 3 and at alpa said neither and the mediator agreed with at alpa Thems the facts. As in most things in life the truth was somewhere in the middle with chase spinning it to put swapa in the best light. Y'all be cool!

You have that in writing from ALPA I assume?

Your responsibility is to take this opportunity, be humble, get on the list and start working for SWA

Be humble? That's a laugh, especially coming from a JUNIOR SWA f/o. Sonny, you're going to need a HUGE crow fork before this is all over.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Every Swapa pilot has sacrificed FOR swa, to be at swa...

Yeah, you spent $8K on a type rating to get an interview. Or if not, $8K to buy that type rating before you reported for training.

So you think a Pay For Training job makes you somehow superior?

You egotists kill me.

Try to remember, this is the man- an accountant- who did not NOT furlough, when your guy did.

And that's your argument? "We didn't furlough?" The arbitrator won't buy that one either.

Polish up that crow fork, wavey. You're going to have a lot of SWALLOWING to do, starting with your pride.

Fub,

It's amazing to read your posts in light of recent events. Forks and crows and pay for training comments. And you're calling people sonny? Your comments beguile your age.

Well, that means straight to arbitration right?

Straight from SWA Management:



TO: All Pilots
FROM: Flight Operations Negotiating Committee DATE: August 26, 2011
RE: SLI Update
This week, counsel for the Company, SWAPA and AirTran/ALPA participated in several conference calls with the Mediator to discuss the mediation schedule and our options moving forward. During the discussions, the Company offered to delay the mediation and arbitration process to give the parties more time for thoughtful discussions in hopes that the parties could find a mutually beneficial solution. The Mediator and counsel for SWAPA indicated interest in the suggestion, but counsel for AirTran/ALPA said his client would not agree.
The parties did, however, agree to convert two of the mediation sessions scheduled for next week to meetings between the SWAPA and AirTran/ALPA committees, without legal counsel or the Mediator. The Company will participate in these discussions. Remaining mediation sessions, as outlined in the Process Agreement, are scheduled for September 13, 14, 26 and 27.
We will be meeting with the SWAPA and AirTran/ALPA committees next week to continue to look for solutions that are beneficial to Southwest Airlines and to both pilot groups, while protecting both the business model and the culture that are so critical to our success.

I have been told that Steve Chase has fibbed. SWAPA asked for the extension,not GK

roughneck and cruncher,swapa asked for a 6 month extension gk said no more than 3 and at alpa said neither and the mediator agreed with at alpa Thems the facts. As in most things in life the truth was somewhere in the middle with chase spinning it to put swapa in the best light. Y'all be cool!

easydoesit and runner46,
Do you still stand by your statements? That post above is from SWA the company and had nothing to do with SWAPA. If you truly have an email from your MEC saying that it was Steve Chase that requested the 6 months, then I'd say this is just more ammo for you guys when you recall them. Because they are flat out lying to y'all.

 

[SWA/FO]

Lets get this done. Tranny MEC, get smart.
