Ty you crack yourself up, that is good have a sense of humor. I have lost some of it with this back and forth discussion for positioning of bragging rights on the internet. Last time I looked flightinfo was not going to be admissible. Lets hope you do not see Pappywoody over your shoulder asking you to grab on with both hands. Hey that was funny. Seriously, I need to detox off this stuff, and go back out into the yard and get a life.

Ty aims to entertain, amuse and inform . . . in no particular order.:laugh:

PW, you are going to be the most upset of all when the list comes out, because your expectations are not in touch with reality. You might as well change your screen name now to PapaLimpy, because even the blue pill ain't gonna help you for a while. :laugh:

Wow, Ty, you might want to get back on the anger meds! I try to make an attempt at a little levity, and you immediately go on the offensive. Pretty much SOP for you, though. For the record, I won't be disappointed at all with with the combined list, my seat is pretty much assured. Plus, my expectations are based on the realities of this particular situation, and let me let you in on a little secret - relative seniority is not gonna be part of the reality of this particular situation. Other than that, I don't think I've tried to do anything other than inject a little reality into these arguments. You might want to re-read your own posts and take the beam out of your own eye, before you start trying to point out the mote in mine.

Levity is humor, PapaL, and your posts aren't humorous. You're simply posturing and trying to lower expectations in an incredibly ham-handed and transparent manner.

I'm not angry, and, just like you, I don't believe my seat is in question, so we should both be happy.

Oh I'm not disagreeing with you, I don't think a staple would be appropriate, either, but the acquiring company has a funny way of deciding what is "appropriate" or not...

I'm just thinking of the percentages right now, which I believe are close to what you said at first... about 1/3 would be angry, and the other 2/3 would be telling the MEC to sign it as long as there was a no-furlough clause built into it and wouldn't get irritated until a few years later when there's little upward movement and they're stuck on reserve for 3-4 years.

Do you think a fair offer is a staple with a no furlough clause? I think that would pass a vote.

 

[Ty Webb]

Hey, Bobby D-

News Flash- You don't work for either airline. And you likely never will.

How about we worry about our business, and you worry about yours? :laugh:

 

[Bob Dylan]

Bump.

 

[RJ Bum]

Bump.

wtf????

 

[redflyer65]

Classic.

 

[waveflyer]

Even Staple. Anything to put us out of our misery. The MESA with boeings has gotten worse by the day. I am sure you will NOT see a crazy reaction like Frontier pilots had!!!! See where that got them.....

Southwest CEO on mergers: 'Never say never'

Southwest Airlines chief says 'never say never' to the idea of a merger

Not an awful perspective to keep as this progresses.
Realistically, from AirTrannies only- what do you honestly think is the percentage that feel the way this poster did in December 2009?

 

[Bob Dylan]

Bumping for justice.

Lear,

You can hide Bobbie but you can't hide your own comments. Sorry...had to go there. How was your dinner?

Speak for yourself, skippy, as long as there was a no-furlough clause, I'd take the longevity pay and happily go sit reserve in MCO, MDW, wherever...

How about Oakland and if you don't like it then you can interview again for the third time!

Dinner was great, we had a huge birthday party for a friend of mine, got to see a few people I hadn't seen in years (gotta love Facebook), the kids went crazy until they collapsed asleep, and slept in today. Cold but the rain held off long enough to go to the street carnival up the road with my son and girlfriend. Great weekend, altogether.

And if Skipper was quoting me, I've said it before, I wasn't in the 121 world back when I made that statement, was still fighting to get my job back and would have been happy to be anywhere other than where I was. Pretty crappy time in my life. Happy to see more and more people at AirTran responsible for that crap hitting the road permanently. Gonna open a bottle of Dom P when the last of them is no longer in a management position or permanently elsewhere in the corporate world.

Either way, my personal feelings at the time aren't indicative of the AirTran pilot group at large. One person is hardly an indication of the entire pilot group's thoughts on an SLI. But if it makes ole B.D. happy to quote me over and over again like it's accomplishing something... hey, that's what he does. It's why we call him "skipper"... like a broken record... skip... skip... skip...
