Porch you didn't happen to work at Vietnam Airlines did you?

 

[arjayeffo]

No, not him

Not him. If you ask me, it's Arvin, as in 'Porch-ugese'. Just a theory...

No way! I stand by my first comment.

Ah, the life of a simpleton. I don't blame you. Why should anyone have to go through the anguish of actually having to generate original thoughts and ideas and god forbid...facts. Stick with it.

Ah I get it now. The deep feelings of regret after you jumped on the "go for gold" bandwagon with the FAPA MEC. I guess that everything that is about to happen to you, that everyone on this planet is forecasting except you, is salt in the wound. Bird in the hand...

I will stand by my simpleton life. You can stand by your facts. Good luck. Not seeing the writing on the wall is what got you here in the first place.

A staple job of a Major Airline narrowbody pilot group to another Major Airline narrowbody pilot seniority list?? YGBFSM. I don't think that its even legal to agree to something like that in this day and age.

OK, I'll see my 520 Aircraft with 3000 daily departures to your 51 Aircraft and 350 daily departures, apples and oranges chump.

I LUV this in your profile...............

Curr Position: CA :nuts:

Enough said on that point. :smash:

Monster Buck talks tuff but he's really a short skinny little guy- maybe 5 feet and a little change. His nickname was "captain america" at Mesaba.

I saw you parking a few months back. I went by the gate and saw the CA you were flying with, you weren't around. Him and I had a nice chat about you. I told him that you were my fo just before you got furloughed. Before anything came out of my mouth he had quite alot to say about you. So I guess we both have our "admirers". You know what they say about throwing stones...

With the purchase of F9, as a Shuttle America 170 fo, you are hoping to "buy in" to finally flying big iron. After flying with you, I know you couldn't get it any other way.

You never did like your rank.

 

[Cornelius]

Wow, Porch works for F9? He should quit then since he probably never fit in and never will.

 

[firstthird]

more about the situation being discussed, less about personalities and personal attacks. makes the forum a better place.

 

[Bigoober]

No kidding.

Any latest as the original info is now a few days old?

 

[SWA/FO]

From another forum....somebody seems to think, Delta and UAL are not happy with the F9 purchase, and might be pressuring RAH???

Canyonblue,

I thought you had more class than that. I guess I was wrong. You don't seem to measure up with the guys I know at WN. Too bad.

Can be inplay until the deal in finalized....

According to this article the deal will not be finalized until late Sep or early Oct. Then it will be interested to see what if any changes come about.

Just a rumor

There was a rumor that F9 was short $30m on the deal. I find that one hard to fathom with CFOs poring over the details countless times.

I spoke to a senior SWAPA official recently and after the teleconference in which FAPA/SWAPA officials swapped offers and laid out their desires, the following day SWAPA sent 4 emails and one phone call requesting further discussions.

Each inquiry was replied to with a statement "we'll be back in touch". The only contact was one way from SWAPA to FAPA seeking further discussions. If FAPA didn't want to negotiate that is their choice but for those to speculate things couldn't have been worked out in such a short time; that we will never know because there was no serious effort on the part of FAPA to use the final day to attempt to find solutions.

Until Oct rolls around, no one knows how the plan will fall out. I suspect those furloughed will remain furlough and as a result of the overlap in route structures, there will be those added to that list over the next year. The same thing would've happened if SWA had been successful but those remaining will be making much less money than they would've been if they were on the SWA payroll. However, when called back, they would be coming to SWA for far more money and not to Republic/F9 rates.

I will look for the young F9 pilot in the lounge next time to get his honest appraisal of his perspective and those in a similar boat. With 400+ of their pilots with apps in at SWA, there appear to be quite a few of them that wanted to come to SWA. Never say never in this business.

Cheers,
