New AAI ALPA Strategy: Fire SWA Haters!

[texman]

Good point Carl.

Saw my first "hiired not acquired" bag sticker today.

Saw my first "hiired not acquired" bag sticker today.

I understand that sentiment, even though I don't think it helps build cohesiveness between the two pilot groups. Maybe SWA will change their new hire type rating requirement all together after SOC, since a 737 type won't make you a better 717 pilot. I plan on having two tatoo sleeves made, one on each arm. The left arm tat will say "acquired" and the right arm will read "Air Trash". I don't want anyone mistaking me for a real SWA pilot one day...

Carl, Yes and NO. I put the lanyard in the same place as the coin.

 

[vixin]

The bottom of my desk. It maybe worth something one day if we follow the pah of Pan Am or Eastern after this.

 

[waveflyer]

A few guys are wearing them. The rest of us are giving them a little heck to wear their badge on their pocket like real pilots! I may wear mine someday...just not yet.

Define "give heck"

Just what is that?

Don't count on it being worth anything. I have a box full of Eastern Air Lines silverware I bought on Ebay for next to nothing. They ain't worth much, but they're great for cocktail parties.

No Tranny tattoo? Come on man!

"Dude, are you with us or against us?!"

"Dude, you're an FO...what's wrong with you?!"

"Dude, you're a lance...don't you understand what's happening here?!"

"You really should wear your badge on your pocket like the rest of us."

"Where's your SNAPA pin?"

my favorite...

"Where'd you get that cool laniard? How do I get one?"

Saw my first SWA Captain wearing one in L.A. a couple weeks ago and took a moment to thank him for his open attitude about the whole process since none of us have any real say in the matter, much less any control over it.

On the whole, and with few exceptions, on my weekly commute on SWA and just in airports in general, your pilots have been very warm and cordial, and it's greatly appreciated. Ya'll have a good weekend out there. :beer:

 

[Tripower455]

I'm not a lanyard kind of guy, so mine's still in the bowl in the CP's office..... I think the coordinators pulled most of them out of the trash in the lounge.

I've only seen one SW pilot wearing one, FWIW.

Must bring back memories and conversation at the cocktail parties for you and your buddies that were hired there in 89.

You have a number of outhouse dwellers at your joint so I wouldn't throw stones, ese.

In '89 I was still in college, and you were, apparently, in diapers. :laugh:

Ty

PS., Once I did finally make my way to an airline, I volunteered my time, served on various committees, made every SPC event possible, attend domicile meetings, etc.

What do YOU do, 400Ahole, other than live up to your name on this board? I have never seen you make one positive contribution here. Never helped anyone looking for a job, never gave useful info to anyone. I suspect that in your real life, you are a lot like you are on here.

 

[waveflyer]

Seriously, shootr?
You a drama queen man? This all soap opera to you?
One Luv to me is about supporting a successful merger in all aspects including a positive SLI result that everyone can live with.
You don't work at USAIR man.

I'm sure they love getting unsolicited advice from a guy who can't even spell "lanyard" or the acronym of his own union.

Def. one that the PD "let slip through"

Not yet...hopefully it does not turn out that way.

Ty,

SNAPA is an inside SWAPA joke, not a mistake. Laniard is a correct spelling or variation of the word lanyard. Sorry you didn't like the version I used in my posting. What school did you attend?

You may now add Ty to your OWNED list, shootr. :laugh:

The only thing he "owns" is the recipe for a very angry next 20 years.
