Leaks

[freightdogfred]

Hey freight******************************,
That was kind of funny, but the way I see it at least half your guys just got the job of a lifetime without having half of those 1500 hours you speak of!

Actually, not true but it's no use arguing with you. I will tell you I have more time sleeping on the jumpseat across the North Atlantic than you have TT. I have better things to do than joust here with SWAPA F/O's so i will say yes dear, you are right. Have a nice life

But its so much fun to spool them up. And so easy, too.

And people wonder why most of us don't bother to reply to this crap.

We've required an ATP and previous 121 PIC experience since . . . . Hell, since you were trading Pokemon cards and kissing your Backstreet Boys posters.

I'm just wondering if you all get tired of spitting in each other's faces day in and day out. This FI membership turned out to be a waste of money.

Ty with all due respect that may be the case now. But I was hired back in 2001 at Airtran with 2400 total time and 0 pic. I know things have changed since but I think it's safe to assume that a good portion (guessing 25%) don't have no where close to the 1300 turbine pic required to apply here. I know 3 of my friends hired there recently only have around 300 turbine pic. And for the record the reason I didn't go to class was September 11th happened before My class date. I couldn't chance going to class. To uncertain of what was going to happen. Also i will say that a lot of Airtran people are great and once we are through all of this bs we will become a great airline.

Why bother with facts when you can spend your time making clever quips?

I hope you get back an airplane soon Ty. I really do. Your frustration is starting to show.

That is world class insulting...

He was told not to buy green bananas anymore.

 

[Ty Webb]

So, some fool posts that our pilots "have less than half of 1500 hours" . . . and I'm berated for not actually responding with facts? GMAFB

No wonder no one posts here anymore. You guys enjoy your little playground.

Maybe when no more AAI guys bother coming around, you can start in on each other.

Well that counts out the Fudgepacker then.

I'm sure he looked 18 right Fudgie?

 

[71driver]

No, your Airtran employees may start though. Keep treating them poorly, and see how that works out for you. This is only going to get worse for you, and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch. Keep it up FONZI..... Your airline is about to implode. Culture? Yeah right.



Bye Bye---General Lee

They're culture will not be the same after the merger.

GK and "company" are trying to muscle over the other Airtran work groups as well, with veiled threats.

Airtran mechanics offered 5 to 1 (5yrs of service = 1 year of credit) staple

Airtran Gate agents 4 to 1 (4yrs of service = 1 year of credit) staple

Dispatchers going to arbitration

Flight attendants to go, but we know where that is going

Someone said it best the book "nuts" is now being relocated to the fiction
section at you local book stores.

Pathetic really. The overwhelming majority of our peers see this for what it is.

 

[redflyer65]

Business?

Yes we do. We don't like it much, either. SWA and their pilot's images have been tarnished more than they can imagine.

Business?

Rape.

 

[ultrarunner]

Boy, those SWA flight decks are going to be fun for the next 20 years.

I'm sure there are a bunch folks on BOTH sides that are just super-psyched they'll be retired before integration!

I'm sure the senior AAI guys will carefully run the earnings-analysis for those that will be around 3 to 5 post integration.....

I would.
