No growth at SW until 2016 now

Less RJs flying now......what part of that don't you get?

I don't think he gets much of anything. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Sorta reminds me of a guy who built his career because of my scope clause, then moves on and b!tches about the very same scope that let him build time.

:laugh:

Good flame willie- bc I'll respond- but that's flame and just shows how little integrity you have.

Did delta outsource more seats while they had pilots on furlough?

Yes or no?

Bc I lived it and when a group decides to do that- I don't owe those senior SELLOUTS an explanation.
I really don't.

Funny, I didn't know I BUILT my career on outsourcing. I had my turbine PIC from other sources before my legacy job

The part where the 50 seaters were going away anyway and you voted to reload that whipsaw market with more efficient, more profitable, larger RJ's so you could get a contract that matches SWA in 2015.

This ought to be thread drift you'd be opinionated about. Why are you feeding the delta/SWA hater line, when we're talking about one of your most senior pilots who was a scab and celebrated. Shame on valujet for hiring him and shame on SWA for celebrating him.

Surely there are fantastic characters without that past at air tran that we could have celebrated before him

Yup, he is a one-trick pony, a totally annoying embarrassment, who thinks his sh1t doesn't stink. And a scab to top that off. What was SWA thinking?

The other harmonica player ain't a whole lot better, although he did make me laugh when he tried to arrange a threesome with the two twenty-something FA's and completely ignored the gal that was his age and might have actually boned him. All on the van ride.

Face-palm.

I've only met MD in passing, so it's not really something for me to be opinionated about. As for SWA celebrating him, that's not really a surprise. Why would SWA care about our issues of trade unionism? They don't care if someone crossed a picket line. But I'm definitely not surprised that he got the recognition. The first AirTran flight that VdV flew on was flown by MD, and he just gushed about how wonderful the harmonica playing was. He said something about how perfectly MD would fit into the SWA CULTure. It was inevitable that there would be recognition for him after that.

A guy that actually paid for his first flying job (30 thousand?) chiming in about outsourcing? You might not want to look in the mirror regarding the sharpest TOOL. I'm surprised you opened your mouth, but then again you had to flex your wit. Or lack there of.

I'm sorry SW crushed your dreams of staying in Herndon. Maybe you could work there as a administrative assistant. But then you'd have to join a different union. Haha.

Bingo. Most of the Delta pilots never understood that angle. They just saw the pay raises. As usual.

I have more respect for those that voted NO. But their just weren't enough of them.

Good luck to you Red and Wavey....let's see what your section 6 results are before you start crowing!

Nobody asked you why you PFTd your type so no explanation requested (spare us)

Note the smiley face on my post, it was all in fun....settle down

I'm pretty sure we won't...

Allow RJ's.
Allow larger RJ's.


I see us getting COLA increase and small gains elsewhere. Nothing major.

But it's an interesting environment with all carriers (including SW) blowing out numbers quarter after quarter. Good for everyone.

 

[Nindiri]

Then that would be a big NO vote for me. But I suppose it won't matter anyway if Tri-Power and the others are right about the relative number of koolaid drinkers here.

 

[Tripower455]

You gotta start somewhere!

Red,

We've gone round and round on this RJ thing before......until Gary proposes it, you haven't stopped him from anything. Take the nails out of your hands and climb off the cross.....you haven't had to do much about the RJ thing....yet.

You might as well make statements like "We never let Gary make us pay him to fly 737's!! (Fist in the air)" Did he actually put it in front of you to vote or even consider in an opener?

Stop with the "At least we wont..." garbage.
