Could this be the start of the END of Southwest Airlines?

[SWAdude]

SWADude, you do know that OYS/GL intentionally post things JUST to rile people up, right? They may or may not actually think that way, but regardless, it is posted SOLELY to upset you.

Why everyone doesn't have those jokers on ignore is beyond me.

Your right. I forgot for a moment that they eat their own poop.

They all have pretty strange way to pass their time.

Actually it quite fun how we get the Doublebreasteddorks riled up, what other Airline Pilot group possesses that much influence in this industry? They also have no life whatsoever. :laugh:

 

[Sy-bill]

Hate to say this but my pilot group is forced to take a sub-par deal or face the demise of our families livelihood

Both sides are accepting sub-par deals then.

95% of the Airtran pilots were willing to put the Airtran families livelihood on the line shortly before SWA bought your airline.

That is called hypocrisy.

I voted yes on a strike, that does not imply that I wanted to burn the place down.

It means you were willing though. Right?

 

[General Lee]

Interview process weeded them out, pure and simple. Of course they will never admit it, but it is a proven fact. Just wait, they will post on this thread again proving their repudiation by Southwest. LOSERVILLE is missing a few idiots.

Are you kidding me? I got on in 96, back when SWA was still a true LCC, and when their Captains were looking everywhere to leave. Many left SWA pre-9-11 for United and other places. Back then it was known as a stepping stone to the Majors, and after your merger is complete, it may return to a stepping stone as OYS points out. Anyone on the bottom of SWA after the merger will be sitting in that seat for years and years, with a poor QOL for sure. Great pay, bad lifestyle.


Bye Bye---General Lee

The first deal was a bad one, and the second was worse. The bad part was SWA management got involved in the SLI process AFTER signing a Process Agreement that had a sequence in how it would go if the sides couldn't agree. That is called a nail in the coffin. WELCOME ABOARD, and BTW, NO YOU CAN'T HAVE A FAIR DEAL.....

So you are an FO after 15 years. So you have Poor pay with a bad lifestyle. Right?

 

[Dizel8]

I think DAL will be gone before SWA, but that is just my opinion!

Where on earth do you get your information? I have been here almost twenty years and I have not heard of one Captain leaving for any airline. And only a few FO's. But I have flown with a few FO's that left Delta for SWA over that period of time.

I swear you make this crap up. It is plainly not true. You are a hateful little man.

 

[General Lee]

So you are an FO after 15 years. So you have Poor pay with a bad lifestyle. Right?

Heck no. I have a great lifestyle. I could be an MD88 Captain in ATL, or a bottom 738 Captain in NYC. Instead, I fly to places I want to fly (Rio and Paris this month), and pick up an extra greenslip (double pay) now and then. My wife makes twice what I do as an Ad Exec here in ATL. Things are great. I will bid Captain when I can be a solid line holder in ATL. That is actually looking pretty good in a couple years, when huge retirement numbers start leaving, something SWA won't see for another decade.


Bye Bye---General Lee

 

[General Lee]

And as OYS stated, this thread was just a question. You can all say a big NO...... Relax a bit, don't get sooo defensive.

LUV ya!

Were any pilots leaving Delta when it was only around for 20 years? Yall still had cropdusters didn't you?

BTW:

SWA 12 year FO - $147/hr

DAL 12 year B767 FO - $124/hr (ouch!)

I might not get Rio layovers, but $23/hr more says I can find some Rio food in my city. $23 x 90credit x 12mos = $24,840/year to tolerate the un-sexiness of LBB. I'm in.

BTW, I don't think LBB is un-sexy. I would take LBB/LBB 3days all month. And that would give me my 90hrs and 18days off.

To each their own. Congrats on 3Q profits.

 

[Whataburger]

Oh please.......

Your mother says your grilled cheese is ready.

I bet she still cuts it in 4 equal squares instead of straight across or diagonal. I can see it now:

The General smells burnt grilled cheese, pauses SuperMario and comes up from the basement with his orange penis (reference Cheetos), Zuba pants on, nunchucks over his shoulder, a chinese star stuck in the wall of his dark brown wood paneled dining room, a mother of pearl colored wife-beater covered by his double breasted sub commander Delta jacket, and his 15 year old FO hat on at the dinner table. In his lap as dinner is served are his two gerbils named Anderson and Grinstein.

Mom at table:

"I am sure glad your wife was drunk the night she married you. It's ironic an Accountant married someone that has stayed with a company that is financially Fu<ked-up as a football bat. Ketchup with your grilled cheese, honey? Do Anderson and Grinstein need more butter?"

I thought the international guys got international override and higher per diem? And we also have the ability to move up an aircraft if you want, so maybe Lee can hold 764, A330, or 777 FO? That would narrow the gap quite a bit. I think the A330/764 pays $20 more per hour, and then add $4 an hour for the override, so that would mean he could get paid more, and see cooler
places than LBB if he wanted to. Look it up on APC. Add the gains in the next contract and it won't be close.



Godspeed!

I could do some higher level math that shows we average 107-115 credit/mo but won't.

So, therefore, congrats on keeping your B747, B777, B767 international rates up with our B737 rates. Nice job!!

Six,

Yes, I could hold line holder on the 764 (we call it the 765) in ATL, and the A330 now that it is here too. I would be a bottom line holder on the 777, but mainly doing Dubai and Johanesberg, and not much else on that one. I am fairly senior on the 767ER in ATL, and I enjoy the variety of destinations I can hold, plus I get greenslips about every other month. I am still looking for a line holder position in ATL on the 737NG (73N) as a Captain, and maybe I'll get it in a couple years. In the meantime, I am enjoying where I am and where I fly.
