Its on!!! (swa @ den)

AAG will just roll over and let you guys come in to GEG. Although we will have 3-4 RJ's just sitting around they won't do a thing. Enjoy the new routes.

 

[Twin Daddy]

I love F9 and wish all the best.. except Genital Lee. Whoops, better run, got twelve more legs to fly before my 8 hour LBB overnight!

Bye Bye!

Frontier Airlines, Inc (a wholely owned FAH subsidiary) will remain an independent and stand-alone airline.

You'll have a legal battle with IBT on this one, if not already, as integration is in thier contract.

In any case there is expansion on the horizon. New bases. Aircraft on order. Furloughs expected to be back on property by summer. Improved CBA in place including raises. I would have been happy with a fair SWA integration but that wasn't on the table and many more furloughs appeared iminent, so most of us are happy with what we got. We'll see.[/

I still find it amazing that some of you expect to get raises out of Bedford. I wish you the best of luck, really, and I hope you prove me wrong. But I know Bedford better than that.

Be "amazed" as much as you like. We just passed a TA that extends our CBA 3 years and gives us raises above and beyond the pre-concessionary rate as well as job protections. Now, as to the future, anything can happen. We could be sold (50.1%), the future could be fantastic, the future could be sh!tty. Nobody knows, not even the soothsayers here on FI.

This looks like a pretty realistic perspective. I have nothing against SWA and it's a very good airline. But it seems to me some of their employees here got pretty offended because you guys didn't want to be tacked onto the bottom of their list. You guys coming out of BK will be a much healthier airline and a very strong competitor. I can't see people choosing SWA over F9 given equal fares.
Good luck

Thanks for pointing out that I am not a SWA pilot. I am saying the same thing SWA pilots say, that is, F9 will regret the decision they made. This is just my point of view just like the view of most other SWA pilots.

No your not a SWA pilot are you, Your just a wannabe tool with his nose up SWA butt. You hanging out at higher power pressing the flesh? Look up toady and sycophant in the dictionary.

Bye Bye!

It's sad, because you are NOT lying. But, your pay rates are great, and some of the stews. Oh well, have fun again in ELP. Someday MAYBE your management will let you go to Canada. Study up!


Bye Bye---General Lee

 

[GuppyWN]

General,

You keep complimenting us on our pay scales and stews.

Is an overnight a couple times a month in Athens or Rio worth it on the 5th and 20th? That's for you to decide but I am OK with ELP and LBB. Easy in, easy out - Git 'er done, go home.

Gup,

It sounds like you think we will NEVER reach your LEVEL of pay, even though we are responsible for you attaining yours. You can dismiss that all you want, but your union used our payscales to increase your own. You're welcome. We are trying to get back there, and it will increase each year (4% each year for the next 3 at least) until our next contract comes up, and most likely higher at that point too. The key here is that you are pretty much stuck always flying one type of plane, to multiple domestic cities a day, with quick turns. We can do that too, it is called the MD88 or DC9. If we don't like it, we can try something totally different, and maybe see the World, and fly something different. If you like LBB or MAF, then I suppose you can bid it and have a FANTASTIC time. If you think Variety consists of one day in LBB, and the next in ISP, then you have hit the jackpot. Good for you. Maybe you do like easy "in and out" airports, that aren't really a challenge. The main challenge for you guys is to remember which airport you are at when you do the local PA. Whatever makes you comfortable I guess. I happen to like seeing new places, hearing new languages, and eating interesting foods you can't get anywhere else. Maybe you can do all of that now that you layover at LGA? There you go....

Dont you need to get back to writing?

Thanks for the raise. Now shut your pie hole.

Okay, I'll bite... Who 'was' you?

 

[GuppyWN]

General,

You got it all wrong my friend. My point was I can make $200g a year and never be more than 2 time zones from home. I'm OK with that. Hell, I'd spend the rest of my career in the Pacific Northwest if I could.

Okay, I got it now. Well, if that is the way you want it, then good. But if you stay within 2 time zones, your trips would have to be incredibly productive, and some are 21 "trip" 3 days, right? I am talking 5 to 6 legs a day to stay within that many time zones. That would be like flying for a regional, all over again. If you are OKAY with that, then great. I like one or maybe two leg days, max. I like seeing something different. I recently did a trip that DH'd me to Portland, (your favorite), then I flew nonstop to Tokyo, then Guam, then back to Tokyo, and then back to PDX. It was really neat, and I got to see something different. I hope you get the same feeling when you fly all of those legs each day.


Bye Bye--General Lee
