Ground Crew to Picket Southwest

[RedDogC130]

You guys lost money last quarter. What make you think they can even afford COLA. It's because of this type of talk that they are pondering furloughs.

this coming from a loadmaster....

I thought he was the Village Idiot.

No loadmasters on a tanker you Retard130. BTW, any luck finding out my name?

Good luck with your contract. Do the right thing. Take concessions and ensure the long term servival of SWA. I need that retirement job.

That's not nice. Especially coming from a guy so close to the bottom right when you're on the edge of furloughs.

These guys are going to picket themselves right out of a job. Just ask the UAW how good a union is. If mgt didn't have to deal with all the excessive union contracts the big three would be on a level with their foreign peers. Now they face liquidation. Look how bad the airline industry is hurting now. If they didn't have to deal with all these unions, they'd probably be a lot closer to profitability.

And let me guess you think George Bush is one of greatest presidents ever.....Are you a joke or what. Why don't we all just work for free. Your right why should we have the right to form a union and negotiate fair work rules and pay.

Look at the military. No union contract. We are well paid and have a great retirement plan. And to top it all off, we're the best in the world. Maybe the 121 folks should try and mirror what we do in the military.

Last time I checked he US military has not ever turned a profit. Don't even get me started on waste in the Armed Services.
If you want the 121 folks to do the same as the military, then lets start by being 100% goverment supported.

Is this the first time any labor group has picketed WN?

Oh so you a flight engineer?

my bad...do you like the lifestyle your plane has...always taking it from behind?

 

[Tanker Clown]

Good one RetardedDog. PM when you figure out who I am. A guy PM'd me saying you were trying to figure out who I am. I'll introduce myself to you in the crew lounge after I get hired.

No, the flight attendants did during their last contract.

 

[Tanker Clown]

So does that mean that SW pilots know not to kill the Golden Goose....or does it mean that the flight attendants have bigger stones than the pilots?

 

[RedDogC130]

To be quite honest with you...you put some funny $hit out here...I know..or hope you are not that stupid to believe it....as for introducing yourself...we can meet on the plane when I meet the other flight attendants you are flying with....

Your leadership wouldn't do that to you. Your morale is important to them because the customers see it in the employees.

Then quit telling us how great we are while continually showing us otherwise. Can't afford a cost of living increase? Please. Mr. Kelly has taken a 100% raise TWICE in the past two years and millions in stock GRANTS - not options.

Mr. Kelly tells us we don't deserve a raise, stalls contract talks for almost 3 years, takes his bonus', fires pilots without cause, reduces our flying and then gives our futures to Westjet and a 2 year old Mexican airline with 19 jets.

Why don't you point out to me all the great things I should be onboard with and I'll get right on it.

Mr. Kelly has found the tipping to point of many fine men and women at Southwest Airlines. Somewhere, sometime a person reaches the transition between caring and apathy. If you knew what you were talking about you'd see just how many individuals at Southwest are reaching theirs.

It's really very disappointing.

This is just business. Actions during negotiations is just part of the business. Both sides do respect that.

Its the people of SWA that makes this a great place to work. And our negotiations does not change that part.

That's not nice. Especially coming from a guy so close to the bottom right when you're on the edge of furloughs.

It has nothing to do with being nice, its an undeniable fact, your the Village Idiot!

Luckilly the honeymoon is over for about 3% of the plot group. These guys just want to burn the place down. If you talk to 97% of the pilots everyone is HAPPY! I think a company that has never furloughed anyone and that is decreasing capacity by atleast 5% in Jan and Feb and still no f word deserves a little bit of respect!.

Says the brand new FNG who paid for his job, and might not be able to recoup his PFT!

 

[Tanker Clown]

GuppyWN, Gary Kelly should get a raise. Look at how he's led your company through these unsettling times. If it weren't for his foresight, you would have lost a ton of money. He spear-headed the hedges. He still makes a lot less than Glenn Tilton. I think whatever they are paying him is a bargin.

If you want a raise, tie it to profits. I'm sure you wouldn't want to do that because you know the economy is in the crapper and SWA probably won't see a profit again until 2010.

Scope, you might be a bigger idiot than A$$ Clown. You guys should get together for some brain storming.

 

[Tanker Clown]

MILPILOT, shouldn't you be picking up your unemployment check?

 

[PCL_128]

GuppyWN, have they actually been firing people without cause? That's got to be a first in SWA history.
