I'm so glad the AirTran MEC meeting is over

[radarlove]

Am I the only one who notices that when AirTran's ALPA MEC and committees hold a meeting, Flightinfo pretty much dies?

It's almost like all of the fiery AirTran posters suddenly have something they all have to be doing, something that's more important than battling on Flightinfo whenever a big meeting in Atlanta or Orlando is called.

I'm glad the meetings are over, this place has gotten interesting again.

Where do all you guys go (you too, General Lee/OYS) when the AirTran MEC meets? It gets so quiet around here.

Anyway, glad you're back.

On to another subject, I'm taking bets on Gary Kelly's response (no SWA guys, that wouldn't be fair).

Mr Eisner is a very fair man.

You're the same guy that thinks General Lee is an AirTran pilot right ? This is good news. If you can be that badly wrong, then I'm really going to enjoy the rest.

Fail.

They also thought I was a female Airtran pilot! My hair might be long, but it's because I wanted "Jesus-like hair.". I personally can't wait for this arbitration to be over. Every SWA pilot will immediately use the 1 2 3 rule at any available hotel bar in the area. Local Wallgreens will probably sell out of Tums, too. Godspeed!

Who's "Mr. Eisner"? Did you mean Eischen? It doesn't matter who it is.

I think what he was saying is this would make good reality TV for NBC.

Gup

Eischen, sorry you are right.. Why does it not matter?

If I were a betting guy, and I dont bet much: I think the AT reps went to negotiations without a care in the world for the bottom 50 percent of their pilot group. Its obvious by what they negotiated! I think they thru their junior FO's under the bus. SWAPA bought off on it in a way to appease their ranks. Truth is SWA pilots are not very happy about it either, but to keep their culture in tact and get along with everyone were willing to run with it, and grin and bear it. In a last ditch effort by the AT MEC he asked for more $$$ to drive the bus over the FO's. Then some greedy captain buddy said wait a minute before you drive off, we could get more $$$$; lets re-negotiate. A hand shake obviously meant nothing.
BTW I dont work for either company. But if I were the junior guys at AT I would be f'ing furious at your MEC for not letting me at least have a vote and letting the MAJORITY decide whether or not to go forward with this crappy deal. After all who knows what the future holds. But if I were in management, and I negotioated a deal and you agreed to it in my face and then did the potomic two step, I can guarantee you it would not go the way you think. Your word is golden. Playing high school games can leave you without a chair to sit in when the music stops! And if i could I would try to kick that f'ing chair out from underneath your fat axe if you tried to sit in it.
Sometimes being humble and saying thank you and counting your blessing that you have a job and a good company bought you is worth more than a better schedule and trying to squeeze a few more $$$$ just because you feel entitled!

I like it when clowns have a name like USAFftrplt, but apparently missed the cut on the -38 drop.....
