When you say something like this:
and this:
You should expect someone to knock your dork in the dirt.

Right on.
This jackass believes he is something special when the opposite is the reality.

Water under bridge? You did see CMs letter addressing their most recent lawsuit?

AAI wanted relative seniority we wanted staple...the list is neither but does grant SWA seniority to pilots from the smaller less desirable airline...at the expense of the RSW pilots ...now the ingrates are sueing their new company for more...

$3,200,000,000.....alot of money for something... not that desirable.

I guess GK had the desire though, to buy some pi$$ ant little airline so that airline could help SWA attain record profits.

 

[madjack]

Less desirable because we had numerous AAI pilots with apps at SWA...oh I guess you forgot about that...several AAI pilots were in the hiring pool when the announcement was made, they are now hundreds of numbers ahead of their former/fellow poolies...worked out well for them...

I wonder what the previous greatest number of pages or posting is for airing your dirty laundry.
Nobody at SWA is holding a gun to force anyone to stay, man up and if you don't like it move on to another airline, there's lots of space at the bottom for new hires

Their union's lawsuit

Is it a surprise that the lawyers are doing this?

TWA is a convenient scapegoat-

I always cringe when I hear some fool parrot these words.

Probably one of the most self-defeating things ever uttered for the Pilot profession.

So, aai pilots who were swa poolies and not on SWA property when the merger was announced are now senior to where they were before? Crazy.

Yup............

No, the long-time SWA poolies from 2008 are racked just below the AAI class that started indoc on 20 Sep 2010. After them, you will find the Oct, Nov, and Dec AAI classes, then the "next-gen" SWA new hires.

 

[madjack]

To clarify, we had AAI pilots in the SWA hiring pool who withdrew from the pool post announcement (rather than going to class at SWA), and are now higher on the combined list...

I don't blame them. That's what I would do.

Yeah right up there with "Hey let's sue our new employer"

 

[madjack]

I don't blame them...they wanted to be at SWA over AAI and because of the deal got even better seniority for being at AAI...worked out well for them (not so much for the SWA poolies)...
