Please BUY AAI!!

Over and over you advocated a "vote" between the pilot groups. Now you are saying we should just take a staple? I would have more respect for your point of view if you were at least consistent. Now, I'm convinced you are just trying to stir the pot with a feeble attempt at flame baiting. At least Instructor Dude is somewhat entertaining.........

I still advocate a vote, and from the looks of this thread a staple vote would easily pass.

All SWA pilots should print out and copy this entire thread. It provides some real insight into AirTran pilots' TRUE frame of mind, and not just their negotiating faces at the table.

The greed of the AirTran guys on this board would be hilarious if it wasn't so sickening.

My "TRUE frame of mind" right now is that I'm arguing with an idiot with no obvious understanding of union representation, labor negotiations or law that is not involved with either airline.

Talk about hypocrisy!!

It doesn't really matter what you advocate, or what I advocate. It will be up to an arbitrator.

I don't think so, Chief, anymore than you "represent SWA pilots, regardless of their face at the table". Who even says those posts were made by AirTran pilots, and in what context? If they are AirTran pilots, they sure aren't indicative of our Captains, which are the majority of pilots.

The greed of the AirTran guys on this board would be hilarious if it wasn't so sickening.

You mean as opposed to your greed? You are advocating displacing AirTran's 900 Captains so that you can upgrade years ahead of your current projections? :erm:

You are right about not having any involvement with either airline. I'm just a casual observer whose become somewhat fascinated by the facade you AirTran CAs are displaying, when it's obvious that you would gladly take a seat on the SWA seniority list anywhere.

This thread is a gold mine for the people currently discussing this. It's like a poker player getting a peak at what the other guy is holding.

My personal opinion obviously doesn't matter, but if it were up to me, I would staple the AirTran pilots to the SWA list. That way, only a very small group of AirTran pilots (AT CAs) wouldn't be happy, but they would accept it regardless.

Any other form of list integration runs the risk of pissing off thousands of pilots and potentially destroying the culture of the new airline.

Poker games aren't decided by an arbitrator. Have fun watching from the sidelines, both groups will do just fine.

Well then hopefully the arbitrator will consider the fact that less than a year ago you guys were ready to burn AAI down. Hopefully someone on the SWA side of the table will dig up threads like this one and possibly more evidence so the arbitrator has all the information necessary to make a decision. A staple will likely be the decision because it is obviously the fairest thing to do and the one think that does the least amount of harm to the entire group.

Personal attacks will not be allowed.

Bob's been given a few days off to think about it. Please refrain and don't start with the profanity, either, that's been getting borderline as well.

Now c'mon, Lear...you're gonna participate AND censor on the same thread? Seems a little bit of a power play. I don't see attacks and profanity unless you've deleted something.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. This isn't divorce court, buddy, and there is plenty of past precedent to go on, none of which supports your ridiculous assertions.

Sounds to me like you're just a jealous guy who is trying to get his jollies by provoking pilots who, no matter how things shake out, will have a better lot than you. :laugh:

Is Ty attacking Bob? I think he should get a few days off!
