F9/RAH meeting

[RedDogC130]

I think I saw an answer on the regional board

 

[RedDogC130]

Fact is pre-9-11 many SWA captains left SWA for United, to later get furloughed.

Bye Bye--General Lee

General please stop posting $hit you can't back up.....please back it up if your are going to state it. It is like me saying DAL pilots are a$$holes....oh but wait...maybe I can back it up...general

 

[General Lee]

Hey General, how far did you move down with the NWA deal? How far up?

You might get your wish and see us in ATL! ITS ON!!!!!

I did great. I think I stayed about even on the percentage, but I gained a whole bunch of people behind me, and a lot are heavy FOs and narrowbody Captains at NWA. It was all done by 3 neutrals, something you should try to make it fair--unless you have something to hide or are scared. And, looks like we will NOT see you in ATL, or at least a lot of you. We just finished our big negotiations with the ATL airport, and it looks like DL and Airtran will take most of the gates for the next few years. Some say it is anti-competitive. Too bad.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Back it up? Like Chase did with his "Bill" story. Okay, sure, his name was........Bob. Bobby Flanigan I think..... anyway......

I was told by United friends that there were SWA Captains in school at UAL when 9-11 happened, and of course that means they were furloughed. Why would they leave SWA? Maybe they were tired of the multiple leg days. I sure would be after 5 years or so. Don't worry, you will too.


Bye Bye--General Lee

 

[RedDogC130]

ok...fair enough... so many could be like 5.....I got it.... That is sooooo many....like the legs we do.

 

[General Lee]

deleted did not see post

Back up what? What are you talking about? The facts are certain---you fly multiple leg days with 25 min turns, on one type of plane. Can you say that you do not? Should I give a name for the SWA guy? I can make one up....?


Bye Bye---General Lee

Looks like you used to fly MD11s. Did you enjoy that operation? What if you could do it again on the same pay that SWA pays you? What if you could leave the MD11 and go to a smaller plane if you wanted to, and back to the MD11 again? Would you do it?


Bye Bye--General Lee

 

[N1atEcon]

You two need to just call each other and hash it out...

Back to my questions please!

 

[Skyboy722]

Maybe that's because no one at Frontier gives a S&^$ about your questions?

Seriously Climb,

Why won't you answer the questions? Why won't anyone? Why the secrecy?

Bye Bye--General Lee

To be honest. I have the type-rating in the MD-11 but never stepped foot on the plane...I quit before my IOE at World. I have enough of int'l experience in anouther plane to realize that I do not want to do it again....maybe it would be different with an airline but LBB is just fine with me.

 

[climb2slow]

Seriously Climb,

Why won't you answer the questions? Why won't anyone? Why the secrecy?

1. reduced between 10-15%
2. yes and no
3. i'm to lazy to look it up and it's public record anyways.

That's your answer. But i'm not really sure how that helps anything or matters?

 

[N1atEcon]

Thanks for the partial answer.
I think it is dispicable when managment (in this case one of your pilots) boast about being profitable when some of the profits came from give backs from their employee's. Once more the race to the bottom is justified.

What does "yes and no mean" ?

Don't let the words fool you. F9 has had an 'operating' profit for many months....that does not always translate into actually making money. I believe that it will, just too early to tell. As to yes and no, it was stopped after the BK filing, and reinstated subsequently.

 

[ChinaClipper]

Its been almost a week!!!!

and I believe we are due for another song from the land where the "fixin" is a verb, action verb, noun, pronoun, Proper noun, dangling participle and oven cleaner....

 

[ChinaClipper]

The only "screwing" was that Elmer Bedford snatchin' F9 out from under the noses of them fast talkin' Dallas boys with the European Man Purses. Almost as funny as the same groups flyboys thinking that F9 PILOTS had ANY INPUT into SM CHOICE to go with RAH. Word is, that it wasn't even close, something about no one in Dallas having any practical knowledge about BK auctions and the like. But its good propaganda; "We got out smarted by them slow talking, sloped-forehead, bible-thumpers from Indiana, but we'll tell the pilots it was all about them! Management knows, just like ATC, the best way to handle a herd of precocious cats is a nice word about them...even if it BS!
