Integrating AAI into SWA

[Lear70]

And yet Lear- didn't I get crucified for asking to limit same thread starts over at the non aviation page? It was said I was trying to censor

Non-av chat doesn't have the same limits as other portions of the site, you know that.

We pretty much let you guys go at each other in there with only very minimal rules in place, and I don't even READ that forum unless someone reports a post. I don't recall personally getting involved in a multiple thread issue over there recently, may have been one of the other mods.

As it is, there's a sticky at the top of THIS forum for all the TSA posts, the UAir/AWA thing has been in effect for a while now, and we're just adding this to the list; we don't need 7 different active threads that are almost all on the same topic: the SWA/AAI Merger/Acquisition. 2 or 3 is plenty.

I don't think your Company had the money to pay you guys.

$500,000,000 is not a lot of cash on hand. $1,000,000,000 in debt and only owning 1/4 of the fleet. Me thinks you were running out of money to grow. Bob was $hitting himself.... and Gary showed up with the charmin, just before you guys burned the place down.

To the original post. It will be the end of the world. My first day at SWA when scheduling calls I will answer with "good morning you sack of poop what do you have for me today?" when they give me my trip I'll evaluate it, then tell them I'm sick.

On the off chance I do go to the airport I plan on punching the first SWA gate agent I see in the face... Just on principal... "Thats how we rolled at the old Tranny slut face... now I'm gonna make some culture changes up in this airline".

Finally I will board my newly painted 717. I will introduce myself to the FA's by taking a dump right in the forward galley. Then without wiping, so the ripe smell can follow me to the cockpit, I'll sit down in the cockpit.

This is when the real fun begins. I'll be in the right seat next to some SWA Captain who was the last number on the list. First I will look to my left and belt the SWA ****************************** with my mag light then I'll give him the standard Airtran brief "Hey @ss face? Just so we're clear I am not going to help you in any way. I expect you to buy my food and drinks on this trip. Other than that I hope you have some NASA forms because I plan on racking up the violations."

That is how we do business at Airtran on a daily basis. The culture here is so tough most of you wouldn't make it through the interview. The ones that did would fail ground school when Bob crushed your self esteem. Yes we have a midget named Bob who comes to class to teach you how to beat your coworkers.

Suck it SWA! You messed with the wrong airlines culture!

I really do not think he would handle that. I think he would handle just the list. You would get a raise either way. Good luck.

Pay is predicated on seniority. The arbitrator determines the list and the contract determines your pay. Try not to think like a d-bag.

Actually, Chief, pay is based on longevity, not seniority.

SWAFO, I'm not sure whether you're flaming, or just too lazy to look up real financials, but 2009 and 2010 are two of the most profitable years in our history, so you sound pretty stupid when you claim that we were in financial difficulty.

Actually, AirTran was profitable for 9 out of the last ten years.

It's also based on seniority genius. CAs are paid more than FOs.

Gawd- the almighty upgrade/ :-(

I think he is correct. Seniority will get you the position but not the pay. You can get a Captain position if no body senior to you bid the position. However, the pay will be based on the years in the classification or job describtion (Pilot or whatever it is called). Your seniority got you the position your longevity gets you the pay.
