I'd say, "You'd better read your employee handbook". . . Unless you're senior to me.

 

[waveflyer]

I'd agree and say NO OUTING PEOPLE's REAL IDENTITY ON FI.
No hinting. No nothing- until they do. And then it's up to them to bring it up again-

I learned a common sense hard lesson doing that w/ PCL- thought it was common knowledge so I could post whatever I wanted about him and I rightfully got smacked down by just about everybody-

To your point Ty- equal job eh? What was your profit sharing in 2001?

You sound like general lee quibbling about SWA rates when financially there's been no time pilots at SWA weren't doing really well-
When profit sharing tapered off bc the airline couldn't double every few years til infinity- pay increased-

You are outside of your mind still trying to compare the two places to work- you piss on it, but you don't know anything at all about SWA except that they wouldn't let you guys play games and manipulate and delay the SLI process- maybe your problem with SWA is you-

To the 12,000 who just updated apps during this hiring window for 200 jobs- they think you're retarded too

Yeah well go ******************** yourself David.

Having trouble keeping your inner d-bag from showing itself, huh? You too, snoop-dog.

 

[Kharma Police]

Yeah well go ******************** yourself David.

What a schmuck, I'm sure we can find out your name too by looking at the "captain do-not fly list".

Well you might still be operating under your older rates if an offer of purchase had not come along...that is the point...our contract improvements had nothing to do with AAI...yours may have had everything to do with the SWA purchase...

You guys are the ones who keep bringing up our 2001 Contract rates, which would be 12 years old now.

Here are yours, for comparison.

Wow. When you convert yours for TFP, it looks like our 12th year pay was almost exactly the same as yours . . . ours was $152./hr.

Oh, the humanity, indeed.

Your revisionist history is laughable. So....you are saying when I was making 60K as a 3rd year FO that it was the same as the guys at Southwest? That is not even taking into account the risk adjustment that should be made for working for a company that furloughed 3 times in 15 years.....and according to the Wall Street Journal article on the subject, was 36 hours away from declaring bankruptcy in 2008. Ty....stop talking. You are making all of us look bad.

This has been said many times- apparently, you just don;t want to hear it, but we had already rejected the NEW pay rates previously. We were holding out for better pay rates than what we settled for after the merger announcement.

I know this doesn't fit in with what you want to believe, but that's the fact, Jack.

 

[humveedriver]

and according to the Wall Street Journal article on the subject, was 36 hours away from declaring bankruptcy in 2008.

Can you cut and pasted that article? I would like to read it. When Frontier ran into the credit card hold back problems our stock plummeted because everyone thought we were next. Is that the 36 hours from bankruptcy?
It was a wake up call and Fornaro said we needed to have 800 mil in the bank for a cushion to avoid any future problems. Which we did.

There are a few SWA guys on here that keep referring back to our 2001 Contract rates, that became amenable in 2005.

I posted the SWA payrates from the same time period, so that we could compare.

I don't make the news, I just report it.

Speaking of which, let's hear about the three furloughs. There's been one in 15 years that I'm aware of. If you want to count the shutdown of the airline in 1996 following the Valujet crash, well, it seems like a cheap shot (and it was 17 years ago) but go ahead. Let's hear about this mysterious third "furlough".
