Gotta love that SWA culture.....SWA considers stand alone Airtran, if.......

What does age have to do with senority? Everyone here knows it has nothing at all to do with it...right? If SWA aquires a small start up with a 23 year old Captain in the number one position on the list shouldn't they be put in the number two position at SWA?[

Not gonna bite. But nice try. :bomb:

The gun to the head finally makes the news. Vote yes or die. Funny how it contradicts everything GK said to win approval for this deal through the government regulators a few months ago. My magic 8-ball predicts a bunch of lawsuits in the future.

I still can't understand why the SWA side wouldn't vote this down. It seems the only way to prevent integration at all. If I were a SWAPA pilot I'd be furious that a bunch of young AT pilots are gonna be placed ahead of me. Maybe they'll wise up and vote no.

Lawsuits?? For what. If the Trannies vote this in it was THEIR vote to accept or reject.

Both sides are going to approve this deal. SWA management doesn't really negotiate with anyone or anybody (to include thier own). They just punch you in the face if you step out of line. It's good to to know this prior to working for them.

But if this happens again, they will protect you too.

When all this was announced several folks jumped my case because I said this was going to be messy, this is one of those cases where I am sorry that my gut feeling turn out to be true, I surely hope that you guys can find a way to settle your differences and become one, I have very good friends at both outfits.

How'd that work out when DAL bought Comair and ASA? Same situation here IMO.

General.... worry about your house and boyfriend (OY6). We will worry about our house...this is none of your business.

And you never posted anything about US/AWA merger I assume?

[ChinaClipper]

Wow, poker face to the end.....for F9ers, it seems the RAH deal ain't so bad after all Something of a bad deal is better than nothing from a bad deal...is this the way ya'll do business???

Don't think I did. Find one and I'll stand corrected.

It's called career expectations lady. Any arbitrator would look at that. If the largest thing your airline had was an RJ, it would be placed below everything larger. When ASA and Comair were bought, the smallest thing Delta had was a 737-200, and the biggest thing they had was a BAe-146 (5 allowed) at ASA, and CR7s at Comair, all smaller than the 737-200. Your opinion is WRONG.

This is an open forum, and anyone can comment on any subject. If you want your own website where you can control who says what, then create your own. You sound like you are scared to debate anything. You can do it James Carville.

General.... If you spent one quarter of the time you spent on here doing something productive, I bet you would still be a total douschbag. See you in Atlanta.

 

[Hose A. Jiminez]

Exactly. And the Southwest guys on here are saying this is an "ATL STORY", so it must be a conspiracy from ALPA. CRAZY.......


Bye Bye---General Lee

The story is not from ALPA and definitely not from SWAPA or SWA. It's from one or more of the three former MEC ALPA members who were recalled earlier in the day that the story was released. The ones who so badly wanted the deal tanked that they cost each and every one of their constituents upwards of $1million each. Shame on CJ and AC. Thats why there off line, and on the lam. Ask any AirTran folk on any forum. It's the truth.

Nah, you'll be in Lubbock. If you ever did see me in Atlanta though, caution wake turbulence, I'm on my way to either Rio or Paris. You suck.

Who cares? Those guys got responses from vocal people about not wanting that first crappy offer. If there was a silent majority, that was STUPID. If there wasn't going to be a vote, those silent people should have spoken up. You're still an idiot.
