New AT servicep

[Whataburger]

What are you guys nuts? We are being whipsawed and you are happy?? .

LoL!!

Whipsawed????

I've been a part of some whipsawing, this ain't no whipsawing. This is Gary Gettin' it done. Sorry you're not on board.

He reduces AT by, what, 22 destinations? We "give" them a couple from a few different SWA cities. This is the foundation of your future being built, you might wanna accept it. The horse is out of the barn and the doors are closed. The doors were closed by 84% of participants. It is D-U-N Done!!!

Welcome aboard all AirTran folks and destinations!

profit sharing recap

We will see profit sharing SEP 2013. We pay in 19 months before we see any results.

Kinda true, but a little disingenuous. You started earning profit sharing January 1. Just over a month ago. You're right that it won't be deposited until Fall of 2013, but that's the same for me too. And let's face it, going into a qualified plan, you're probably not planning on taking it out and spending it anyhow. So although your account isn't funded until next year, you started earning profit sharing over a month ago. Pretty decent I say.

 

[outerlimits]

why should the airtran pilots be paid less (B Scale) to do the same flying plus International Flying for Southwest till Jan. 2015? Doesn't sound fair or treating your fellow employee like you would want to be treated? Double Standard maybe?

Both side are now on the same side . I would love to be apart of what they have.

 

[SWA/FO]

We will see profit sharing SEP 2013. We pay in 19 months before we see any results.

no different then a new hire. Sucks, but no different.

 

[humveedriver]

A new hire isn't asked to work for SWA under his old companies contract for up to 3 years. Subtle difference.

 

[ASADFW7]

Humvee SL - 9 didn't have that pay restriction and we all know what happened there. As for being a new hire, they start at year one wage, is that what you would prefer all Airtran employees start at year one pay? Which side of the discussion are you driving the bus over yourself with?

As for profit sharing my 2011 years employment profit sharing has been announced as 3 percent this month. It will be funded in September of 2012.

 

[humveedriver]

Your implying that I had some control over the situation. Just venting is all.

 

[Whataburger]

Profit sharing for more jr folks is only a few thousand a year. Probably not something to get bent out of shape about.

 

[ASADFW7]

Humvee I was replying to the discussion your started. Venting, yes I need to vent too, however I have to get over it as well. I can imagine the delayed transition is frustrating as the promise land is still over the next hill or two. Hang in there and I will try not to autocorrect the discussion. My apologies.

 

[texman]

Does anybody really know why there is a delay. I heard only 13 Airplanes this year. Is it because of the -800 deliveries.?

 

[737tanker]

My guess is that the reason for the delay is that the SWA IT people can't get the reservation system changed fast enough so that SWA can do the international flying themselves. Heck they can't even get the reservation system changed so SWA can sell 143 seats in the newly configured -700s. Do until SWA can upgrade the reservation system AirTran will have to do any international flying, which will slow the transition.

 

[Britpilot]

You do know we already have a res system that can handle intl res, right.?

 

[dicko]

You do know we already have a res system that can handle intl res, right.?

Yes. I changed my mind. I fear 'The Man'.

 

[737tanker]

You do know we already have a res system that can handle intl res, right.?

Yes and so does SWA management, that is why all the international routes are going to you. For some reason SWA doesn't want to change their system to AirTran's. SWA really does like to reinvent the real, and after 17 years I've seen a lot of wheels reinvented!

 

[XR650R]

Along with these route announcements, is there any info on the MDW-CUN (SWA) vs ORD-CUN (F9) routes?
