Bidding on LAG and DCA Slot packets

[Flyby1206]

SWA still has a good number of slots at LGA. Even with JB winning some slots from this process I think SWA still has a few more than JB.

I dont think DCA is as big of a deal for SWA considering the size of their operation at BWI. Yes it would have been nice if they won some DCA slots, but its not the end of the world by far.

I am pretty sure that IF additional slots are divested, they will STILL be subject to the highest bidder, and JetBlue will compete aggressively for those slots also. So either way, you will pay top dollar or you won't get any additional slots.

It seems strange that I would have to point that out to you...

Since you seem to be in the know could you answer a question? IF SWA acquired JB, what would be the expectations of the JB pilots ?

You mean if a certain legacy bought them because SWA underbids, again? That Airtran purchase sure hit you guys financially it seems. Also, JB's friend Sen. Schumer of NY would make sure any purchase kept most of the airline together, which takes away your management threats (and retired management at that!). Nobody will fall for that again.

Whatever there current year of pay is on the SW pay scale. Whatever seat a JB pilot ended up holding after a fair and equitable merger of seniority lists. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. No one wins or loses big. However the Airtran guys already set a precident on what the JB pilots will get.

Forcing them set a precedent? They would have done better in arbitration, and the SWA pilots and management knew it. Jetblue pilots just won't fall for that with anyone. Arbitration is the answer, along with fences. Separate pay for the 717 guys at AT (old AT pay) was not the answer, and everyone knows it too.


Godspeed!

Oh brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the whole world should just kiss your collective asses.
For the love of God man, just let it go. You work for a world class company. Can't you just leave it at that?

They can't! They won't be satisfied until they have every passenger flying within TEXAS. That is their top goal, followed by owning every other LCC out there without widebodies. Spirit and then Great Lakes are next, and you had BETTER take their lame offer, or retired management may come in and say something NASTY to scare you.

Seriously??? You guys are a bunch of class-less jackA$$$$$$. Those at the top fall hard, you should all remember that humility is respected, arrogance, not so much.

general Cheese, Did momma let you out of the basement to eat some turkey? Or did you sit down there playing SuperMario with hardened, Cheetle-stained socks scattered about? OR, due to stagnation at Delta, did you spend Thanksgiving in Cairo, again?

In the airline world, I am Thankful for the interviewing and new hire classes at SWA. Hopefully you are Thankful for the interviewing and new hire classes at Delta.......right?
