SLI is out, it looks good for both sides

[C-21Pilot]

PCL is the typical run to a lawyer, try to sue type of guys. Mark my words, he will try it.

 

[Nindiri]

Damn, PCL. What did you do to waveflyer, kick his dog or something?

 

[RobZerbe]

PCL,

I am surprised at you visceral reaction to the SLI agreement. You get a 52% pay raise and retire at number 2.

 

[Luv2BFlyin]

Me too! And I'll hug and buy coffee for every air tran pilot I see!

For the unfortunate ones you see, I hope they don't "feel the luv" when you give them a hug.

What! PCL to retire #2. Mmmmmmm.

 

[ATLplt]

Just makes me sick that we're going to pay you to fly airplanes.

"We're"? I didn't know you were an executive responsible for pay, Wave. Congrats on the promotion.

 

[Skybus]

PCL and all Trannies,

PLEASE vote this POS down. You guys are ALPA. Your Union is counting on you to show SWA and SWAPA who really is running the show. Please show those dirty rotten SOB's. You guys deserve relative senority. NO Trannie F/O should be stapled. This is a merger of equals. Please have some cajones and vote this down.

Once yoy have done that, we will be happy to rid ourselves of 717s, a bunch or idiots and we can focus on growth of OUR company and you will find that happiness..... where again?? Hey good news on the horizon, Pilot shortage is looming and jobs for all.

Doubt it, he is a fat pig. Looks like peter griffen. He will not make it till 50

Funny....I had an overnight and there were several guys at the bar that wanted to "call out" a few of the posters on here..........funny how different guys named the same people

As I continue to read all the responses to the SLI I think many on here are not seeing the forest for the trees. Let's remember the positives. For us AT pilots.
1. No more horrible AT management.
2. We get to be part of an incredible CBA.
3. Better pay and benefits.

For our SWA brothers:
1. Growth
2. Turn key international development.
3. Entry into the ATL Market and DCA market.

These are only a small few gains on each side. As it has been said, "A good SLI is when everyone is upset". After all is said and done, we will all work together and write a new chapter for Southwest Airlines. Let's make that a chapter that we can look back at years from now and be proud of. What has made both companies great is the passion both employee groups have for their companies. Let's put our differences aside and work together to make this work group the best in the world. Lets not drag ourselves into petty ego driven hatred. In the years to come we ALL will be winners.

My best to all.

If either side votes it down, does anyone get the chance to add incentives before it goes to an arbitrator?

For ex if it is the SW fo's that are not happy can there be a sign on bonus added to make things right for them?

Old Man Pilot,
Don't forget Punta Cana overnites...

I guess the initial "shock" has passed? You've been very consistent the past 10 months. I was surprised to see your initial reaction to the deal.

I'm still groaning.

Gup,

I made the mistake of speaking before thinking. (seems to rule these forums). Now that I had time to think and be rational in my thought process I am back to normal.
I realized that after all is said and done being able to enjoy going to work and being with the best airline in the world also has value. Yes, I will be stapled, but I will enjoy my career and not dread coming to work wondering what will happen next. And too me personally, it's worth it.

It sounds like you are giving up old man. I know you want stability, but there are some major inequities it seems in this agreement. You don't have to thank Swapa for this merger, only GK. SWAPA didn't do anything for you, and they don't pay your paycheck. You are also right about growth for the SWA pilots, thanks exclusively to YOU. They will thank you for it, I'm sure.

And "turn key International development?" Really? You go to some Caribbean and Mexican markets. Next stop, Canada.

OYS will not admit her true gender. How in the world could you tell what party.
