Avoid AirTran!!

[UALRATT]

Avoid AirTran if you are going some where. Again they are victims of themselves. They cancelled over 40 flights yesterday due to lack of crews. They are trying to blame the pilots, of course, but the reality is the inept scheduling dept and the worse crew planning dept in the industry has struck again. Flights that are going but downgraded to a 717 will be oversold by 20 +. They haven’t taken delivery of a AC on over a year and they still cant figure out the staffing level .Maybe they should furlough. They are trying to recovery from themselves by asking for favors from guys on there days off. 6 years of negotiations and you want a favor! HA . Its your bed, lay in it.

And why should they furlough??

don't forget Bob Fornaro got a raise article going around the crew lounge said $2MM

Thanks for the update. I won't fly them nor will I put my family on them. Same old Value Jet just a different name.

Another FI dipsh1t, how long is the list?

:laugh:

BTW, what are your hiring minimums these days?? Do they look favorable at individuals that have worked at the Deli section. Or is the Deli section putting you in the over qualified category. Have a good day Critter!

Hmmm. I don't know, I got hired about 8 years ago. Why don't you ask one of the former Delta, USAirways, UAL, NWA, AMR or TWA guys we hired? Maybe they could help you. I know you're looking for fruit, but they could probably give you a knuckle sandwich.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

That's OK . . . . We don't allow farm animals on board anyway.

If you actually got some woman to marry you, she must be a real prize :laugh::laugh::laugh: We only allow one seat-belt extender per person, better call Greyhound.

WOW... Really?

Livin,

Be thankful you have a flying job, especially in this recession. Remeber, you chose to apply and fly for Air Tran. That advice goes for anyone who has a job in our current economic environment. If you dislike working for AirTran, quit and apply to Southwest when they start hiring first officers again. There are plenty of pilot applicants who would like to kick your butt out of an AirTran cockpit and put theirs' in it.

Have a nice day!

We took 2 737s last year.
