New AAI ALPA Strategy: Fire SWA Haters!

[jonjuan]

So, you're telling me that a SWA FO averaged 268. every hour, until they "timed out"? Hard to believe.

Yes, our business is doing very well. My wife should get a lot of the credit.

I have heard that MILF Hunter does indeed pay well.

 

[waveflyer]

Well, nice perks anyway.
;-)

 

[Tripower455]

It means "more than". And it comes with nice perks . . . and I don't mean standby travel.

In that case, why, exactly are you so hard over about sli? I'd either bid fo and be mega senior, or simply quit.

In either case, I certainly wouldn't spend every waking moment on FI arguing about this nonsense

I've been on Flightinfo since 1996. I didn't join because I have one "issue" unlike many others on here now. There are waaay too many guys on here talking smack about my AirTran brothers to just ignore.

You guys who suggest that I should be an FO since I own a business are pretty funny. . . . Didn't realize we had so many socialists in this industry. . . . Maybe everyone with a military pension should stay FO . . . . Maybe guys who kept their first wife should stay FO's and make way for the guys who have ex-wives and child support payments. Maybe the guys with the messiest lives, biggest mortgages or worst credit scores should get preference at upgrade. :laugh:

If all that were true I'd be #1 Check Airman buddy!

LOL,
Gup

Really, this is a great job, but if I could make that kind of scratch without having to step foot on an airplane, I would ditch this job and never look back.

I'd also not spend every waking moment on FI, regardless of my tenure here, but I guess I've got different priorities.

As far as the smack talk about your brethren goes, pot meet kettle.

You'll really love being a SW pilot on FI if you enjoy getting crapped on because of who signs your checks.

Oh, and I agree with you that seniority is king when it comes to upgrade. Those hired first, upgrade first. Simple!

Comments like that are exactly why I think this is going to arbitration. I guess we'll find out in a couple of months.

 

[Just thinking]

"Oh, and I agree with you that seniority is king when it comes to upgrade. Those hired first, upgrade first. Simple!"

Not a single SWA pilot has ever by passed up-grade in the past ten years?
I understand they used to have to upgrade when their seniority number came around but every single person on the seniority list has upgraded as soon as their seniority could hold the seat?

 

[madjack]

I have to agree with Ty, just because he has a successful side business does not mean he should not be concerned about his seniority...
