GK's Sept 30 Note to All Pilots

[chris69]

No comments? Surprising.

 

[Skybus]

What would be surprising about it? Vintage SW. Communicating directly with employees. Would you rather be communicated with directly or a "filtered" version from a 3rd party?

 

[SKC]

It's amazing what some gets some people's panties in a wad.

 

[Raoul Duke]

They want everything spoon fed from ALPA because they don't like to think for themselves

That's awfully contentious responses. The letter defines this whole process. If AirTran is one of many steps preluding bigger and better things- no one will care much about the integration drama. Movement and progress will dampen it all out.
If on the other hand, it becomes like age 65, and a period of stagnation follows and predictions of a lesser impact prove false... Then the culture might be in real danger.
I, for one am positive - and I know 1 thing- I'd rather be an FO at SWA making good money than be a captain at most other airlines.
But I'm looking forward to international growth as a combined carrier.

Bingo Wave. On the global scale we are insignificant. Obviously the possibilities are unlimited. How we handle this will dictate what the possibilities truly are.

Gotta say, I've lost all respect for SW pilots. You guys are far more egotistical than the Delta guys, and far more greedy than USAir easties. How do you force a sh!t sandwich down someones throat, and then get mad cause they don't like it?

Poor poor Tranny's

Self entitled little dooshbag

They'll be lucky to be able to pinch their pennies enough to afford that vacation home AND the boat.

Who cares what you think. You have just proven that you are either a moron or shallow.

You lost respect for ALL SW pilots because of FI? That right there is some pretty funny stuff.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

AGAIN, the SWA arrogance rises like the cream of the crap!!

I have lost respect for all pilots on any anonymous forum.

Even a little self respect at times.

Any mention of how Ty Webb likes his coffee? Gup and Co. better get used to moving those throttles with their left hand....

We have this great thing called the "Avoidance Bid". Ty may be only flying with guys on reserve. If it gets too bad, the Chiefs will politely ask (tell) the guy to change bases. It doesn't sound like Ty will have that problem...now if Fudgepacker were here, they would have to create a new base in Tehran....

 

[madjack]

I am very used to using the throttles with my left hand...10+ year SWA FO...

I don't think I'll be bumping Gup out of anything, except maybe his spot at the bar, when he goes to spring a leak.

I haven't decided how to bid. . . . . it really comes down to QoL, and the commute is a big part of that. ATL is one of the few places I can get to easily from down here on the Redneck Riviera . . . . so if I can hold ATL as a 717CA, I will bid it.

If not, I'll probably bid 737FO, in which case, I'll be the one arming the autothrottles with my left hand . . . . we will have autothrottles, right?

Back at ya Slaquer.....

Truth hurts....I feel ya!

You are in for a real treat when a -300 shows up!
