How can I drink the Brown Kool-aid if I cant hold my food down

I heard Southwest Airlines insurance company was raising the rates due to the Airtran acquistion. I am NOT FLAMING ON THIS EITHER. I thought it was funny.

Heard something similar, said it was due to the fact that our F/O's aren't typed on the aircraft they fly.

SWA management reportedly asked our training dept about typing all F/O's as they come back through recurrent training with a slightly longer course and a type ride at the end. Said something about our POI wouldn't go for it without the "full course" then re-training in the right seat - he's a firm believer in "train for the seat you're going to fly in".

Don't know where it went from there.

There are costs due to this acquisition.

Remember that all of our pilots were hired as Captains.

Would you please state the qualifications, skills and experience you had when you were hired by SouthWest? I'm really curious to see if they were so different than the AirTran average.

Please inform your MEC that you want this voted down. It will save me the trouble of having to decide if I should hold my nose and vote for this POS or vote no.
