More Competition in Milwaukee for Midwest

[IdRtherBsailing]

Nice try Citation.. What I said was if you keep bashing AAI on your posts, it would make guys want to staple you..

Is this how it would go down?

(Behind the scenes at an NPA meeting.)

John "Next topic for discussion is the possible seniority integration of the Midwest Pilot group. There are approximately 405 pilots over there, any suggestions?"

Bill "Well I don't know whats fair but one of them on Flightinfo ticks me off. So I say staple."

John "Great idea Bill. I would just like to say thank you flightinfo.com for having such an impact on our decision making. Now lets start the staple."

(Cheers and applause in the back ground) "Yes, Yes, staple...Ra Ra Ra"

It's funny to see the AAI guys (the usual "i told you so" fellas) rooting for us to take concessions. WE WANT THEM TO GET 50% RAISES BEFORE US SO WE CAN SHOW THE COMPANY WHAT THE GOING 717 RATES ARE. is it our fault they have been negotiating forever? we aren't rooting for the demise or concessions here. i want ALL companies to get raises, imbecile.

Since when was I AAI? Anyway. Yep, those HUGE operating profits will have to be answered for when you guys ever get to the table! AirTran will set the rates that you will never get. Because MEH doesn't make money. One, in your case, has nothing to do with the other. If both companies were making money, it would be different. There is no money left to be had CL, when there is less than none to start with.

Seems to me the company is getting 11 extra seats of revenue this summer, 44 $60 "signature" fees, etc with no changes. there's our extra money for our pockets.

Staple me, puh leaze. Commuting to the A-T-L is not in my future. There's no water. One concern of mine would be saying "Citrus" on the radio. How effeminate is that? Ok, it's no "Spirit Wings" (that sounds like a maxipad), but it's close.

You really are scared, aren't you? Your secret is safe with us.

Yeah, just in the nick of time, too. Good thing they didn't do that five years ago, they might have gotten $25 a share for the sale.

Oh darn. You caught me, I'm gay. Shhhh, don't tell my wife (er cover story).

Hey CL- Don't you find it ironic that you have an avatar of something successful? And alternative?

Guys, is this really productive? What is there to gain by taunting MEH pilots about the possibility of concessions? And CL, you really encourage this crap with your avatars of Joe and now Elton, plus your constant attacks on AirTran. A business deal didn't happen, guys. That's no reason for our two pilot groups to be at each other's throats all the time.

now let's be fair....my avatars change after these threads are started.

we're all under the boots of rich white guys, ruining our lives. we're simply letting off steam here.

now let's talk about something important here.......what are the big prop bets hitting vegas for the superbowl?

Maybe so, but you can't say that you don't encourage this crap with your posts.

You let off steam by attacking the rich bastards, not your fellow pilots.

this "crap" is entertaining. in REAL life (not flightinfo) AAI and MEH pilots treat each other fairly and friendly.

there's my new avatar, the whining, sniveling, TO.

I say staple CL, that boy have been nothing but trouble since we hired him, haha lol, I am kidding

Best of luck to the Airtran guys and us here at Midwest, after all, we are just pilots doing what they ask us to do.

CL, can scheduling make us airport reserve for 4 to 5 hours? I don't have my contract with me.

Hey Wolf, sorry to steal, but I think you should have a copy on your my alpa page, or mec part of the alpa page, something like that. I know we put ours up for Skyway eons ago and I figured we were the last to do so. I'd check there first.

Thanks Propsync, totally forgot about that
