My response to SWA package!

I might not have a choice. I might've "outed" myself by saying I flew 3 days ago! Evidently, that's against the rules, and we can't have that!

I'm always classy btw.

Gotta love Entitled, Angry, yet Sensitive New Age Pilots!

I luv over the hill age 60 pilots too! If you are not old enough to learn something new, then I suggest doing some of our Mexico flights (if you dare), you can pick up some over the counter meds that might make you feel like my age again with the ladies.

Nice try, but I've got almost 20 years left and was one of the most vocal opponents to age 60 change. Try again.......

Oh, and I've done Mexico flights, not to mention flights other "international" destinations, when you were still in grade school.

BTW, If learning something new includes feeling entitled to and whining about being handed a much sought after career on a silver platter, then I'll stay ignorant. And classy.

Interesting, you said you worked around the time period of the EAL strike which was in 1989 (22 years). Assuming you are 45 like you claim, you were just an eager beaver 23 year old new to the industry, hardly a wise old owl like you claim in one of your many condescending "classy" retorts. Tell me, when you were a hungry 23 year old in 1989, were you tempted to cross the line at LeJeune Road to the EAL training center? I heard there are (were) a few at SWA.

Maybe he was at EAL. I was at EAL in 89 and did not think twice about striking. I was Hired there when I was 23. You sure seem to have a HIGH horse you sit on.

ZU,

You really want to go there? Let me ask you a question. Who's the bigger scab airline past or present...CAL, UAL or AAI? You can break it down with total numbers or ratios, whatever you want.

Just to make sure I'm reading your post correctly, you did not think twice about striking, meaning you crossed the picket line?

I could really care less, I was in grade school when it happened. He brought up the issue on a previous thread so I decided to do the math and ask him.

Can't we all just get along...?

KP,

Says a lot about you! You ask that question of your senior CPs when you were an FO?

I haven't been an FO for awhile but as a matter of fact, yes. I don't make judgments, I just listen to their perspective and offer mine.

Are you kidding me. NO. I hope you where just trying to yank my chain.

Whether you use ratios or numbers, we don't even come close to CAL or UAL.

What 6 months. I bet your a joy to fly with, seems you have captainittis . SO how long have you been at AT, 7- 8 years?

PCL,

That was a rhetorical question...I was making a point to KP! They didn't cover this at GIA?

I've never claimed to wise, old or an owl.

I have, however, been around the industry my entire life (dad was a Pan Am/Delta pilot), and have been working as an airline pilot in scheduled service for almost 25 years. Between my previous airline shutting down and SW, I did 4 months of that at DHL, if that counts.

I was, even at the tender age of 24, wise enough to pass on the EAL interview, 3 months before the strike, since I saw the writing on the wall and would never scab in any case. This is more than I can say about the vast majority of original VJ guys.

I don't know about LeJeune Rd, but I did cross 36th street to go to my Pan Am interview in April '89. I also gladly paid my ALPA strike assessment during the EAL strike and beyond.

I've been furloughed, bought, downgraded, upgraded, pay cut, pay raise, chapter 11'd, closed down, new hired, interviewed etc. enough times to know that you guys have a stellar opportunity here, even if your Entitled, Sensitive New Age Pilot sensibilities can't/won't accept it.

There are plenty of pilots out there who would be happy to trade places with the AAI guys now, but you already know that.
