Email from Airtran MEC: Secret MOU between SWA and SWAPA

[SWA Bubba]

So why was I at AAI?
You must know me because you can read my mind. You seem to think every pilot in the US wanted to go to SWA.

Your comments are pathetic and moronic.
No where did I say I was unhappy, those are your words.
I am looking at a furlough, that is why I have to look for other work.
Clear now?

No. You're NOT looking at a furlough.

No one on either side is looking at a furlough. You're just saying that to make your personal situation sound worse for argument purposes. Maybe you're pretty low on the overall totem pole, but we were all there once (or more than once), but you most certainly are not "looking at a furlough."

If you want to look for other work, then knock yourself out. That's typically what people who aren't happy do. But in any case, no one's buying your "poor me" argument. We've all got our own sob story.

Clear now?

How would you know?
A lot of us preparing for furlough. It's the smart thing to do. I know you don't understand smart however.
SWA's numbers don't add up pal. They cannot train 1185 of us in 2014 and train all your upgrades.
So tell me, what are they going to do with the surplus pilots?
Like I said before, this is just a job, there are other jobs.
Crystal clear now?

I would agree with bubba, except for the fact of ALPA poking SWA in the eye,over and over.

Yup; it's pretty clear that you're the most miserable and pessimistic "happy" guy on the forum. Sorry to interrupt; carry on. Continue bitching and acting like your life sucks so bad (and, for that matter, that other people care about your bitching).

Maybe you could try for a career in creative writing? You know, when your imminent (gasp!) "furlough" happens.

Yup it's pretty clear that you are the most arrogant guy on the forum.
You hate facts. Sorry about that chump. You're right, everything is wonderful, nothing to worry about. Bubba knows all.
Maybe you should try a career as a fortune teller, you know everything at least for those that want to read your drivel.

"You're funny. In that vein, what did SW pilots bring to the table? Not SW, the company. See how ridiculous an argument that is? I'm letting you know."

The SWAPA contract and all the requisite benefits therein. Really dude, what part of this is not making sense?

You sound like Lear70. Maybe you should do what he did and sign off for good. He feels better and I am sure you will too. People are gettting tired of listening to you.

Bingo. Thanks Calypso. I think the one thing AAI had that we didn't was paid parking. Night and Day Freight.....you know it, but just don't want to admit it. You'd rather play the poor, poor pitfall me routine along along with Brit.

Grow up red, your remarks are boring.
As I said many times, I don't care any more. It's just a job.
Get over yourself.

 

[redflyer65]

Good comeback.

Your schtick is getting old, especially when people call you out on the BS.

 

[rjfo]

Statements like that typically come from the weakest sort of pilot...... Especially when they're made anonymously by a guy with a whopping four years on the property.

Who has four years on property? You're right I'm the weakest pilot on the property good thing upgrades are base solely on seniority. Am I wrong in my statement? When delta was hiring you and Brit stayed at AT cuz it rocked so much. I didn't realize that sorry. I retract my generalization. Now whose makin statements like that... Get over it. I don't know anything about you, other than the stuff you and Brit post here. I make my judgements based solely on these posts. You guys could be the nicest people on earth but your online statements point otherwise.

Likewise.
You need some facts to back up your opinions.

 

[Flying-Corporal]

You're comparing Delta/NWA to Southwest/AAI? :laugh: You're funny man.

Hmm... Why is that funny, Mr. SW CA? Read about Fedex/Flying Tigers acquisition/merger/etc. Here is a synopsis for you: A bankrupt roughly 10 a/c airline got bought out by a huge airline called Fedex. Pilots got merged based on seniority (not DOH!).

You're a weird man to find these things amusing. Do inflight emergencies make you laugh too???

then there are other examples.... ask the Challenge Air Cargo Pilots how it felt when UPS bought their 757s and took NO PILOTS.

You. Maybe 5 years now. You went to SWA from Pinnacle. What gives you some special right to question any AirTran pilot's skills, abilities or marketability?

When delta was hiring you and Brit stayed at AT cuz it rocked so much. I didn't realize that sorry. I retract my generalization.

When Delta was hiring, I had already been a line-holding Captain for several years. I was making more than any Delta pilot with similar longevity . . . and I was happy. What business is it of yours, anyway?

What a putz. :laugh:
