PLC here is your math:
100% of the AT pilot group is making more than when they were bought.
Every FO that crossed over to the Southwest side got a 40% to 50% pay raise the second they crossed on top of the pay raises that they got after the purchase. That is over half of your seniority list that got massive pay raises.
Every Captain that came over may or may not be making close to what they were making the last year but they are still making more than what they were before the acquisition.
The fact that 70% of the captains that came over can now hold captain here giving them an additional 35% pay raise over what they were making as a captain at AT.
With almost 90 percent of your workgroup making anywhere from 35% to 50% more here as SW than they were making at AT it is kind of hard to listen to you whine about "MATH" as the only thing that the SW pilots got was a lot more people who were a lot younger coming in above them and not a single stock option or pay raise to ease the pain.
Anyways the only math you need now is what the max tongue weight is for a double wide.
Yawn.
I really don't like rehashing this stuff, but if you insist on revising history, expect someone to come along and set the record straight.
Even under our 2001 contract, I was making 154./hr, which is more than I'm making now, even without 14 years of inflation.
And, although you have conveniently forgotten it, the AirTran pilots voted down the $180./hr pay rates in a failed TA 7 years ago, the rates we were revisited upon us after the announcement; that's where they came from, they weren't just plucked out of the air.
Facts are stubborn things.....But they are what they are.
If you want to keep playing this game, the lack of unity it encourages wil likely bite you in the axx.
Lead the charge up the hill, but don't be surprised if you look back and see there are only a few loudmouths behind you. Most people, OSW and FAT have already grown up and moved on.
You got a raise AFTER/and only because SWA bought your company....try comparing CA to CA rates at acquisition...you probably weren't even qualified to interview at SWA when I got hired...pompous blow hard prick...
You seem to not understand what a fact is and base everything on what your personal situation is.
Because please show me exactly where I revised history.
