SLI is out, it looks good for both sides

Thats nice in theory DC10, but the fact of the matter is that because of this transaction SWA will no longer be a very desirable place to work. The isl is going to create animosity here the likes that have never been seen before. Because of this deal and the infighting which it will bring will eventually lead to our downfall and the reduced pay rates and qol which are sure to follow. At least it was great while it lasted. RIP SWA

Haters gonna hate..........

You mean the kind of animosity that the age 65 rule was going to create, or the kind of animosity that the pilot talking on atc freq (you know what i'm talking about) was going to create between us and the FA. If this gets voted in then we live with the result period end of story. If you want to burn down the best paying job in aviation I don't think to many pilots are going to help you, I for one will not!

That being said I'm waiting for the road shows to make up my mind.

AT dudes, SWA guys are not really complaining about you keeping your seats nor about seniority. They just wanted to be pay protected. It has nothing to do with you guys and all to do with GK. Most of us over here welcome you to the party and look forward to a bright future.

Are any of you Air Tran Captains planning on bidding back down to FO once the deal is done ?

Might be a rhetorical question, but maybe for QOL.

Not planning on it, but I'll see how the commute goes.

and miss out on 10 years of sitting reserve in oakland. i think not. i will make this work for my family even if it takes moving closer to the most junior base.

i am waiting for the road shows, but as a 7 yr capt. i am leaning toward yes even though it is not all i had hoped for. i guess that is the point on both sides.

i just hope if it is voted in that it does not become a swa vs airtran attitude for the rest of my career. it would be great if both sides can "own" this agreement and move forward as a unified pilot group.

I really believe that when all is said and done, it will be a unified group. What a waste it would be for guys to try and let it brew for years to come. What would that accomplish? Whenever the time comes, I think you will be welcomed here, no doubt.

I think it is a foregone conclusion that AT votes for this. The questions is, why didnt our negotiating committee understand this?

Commute to reserve for years? Please. I know about 3000 SWA FOs who will take your place.

AT turns this down, it will be the most epic mistake in the history of airline unions.

Our MEC is certainly capable of such an epic mistake...
