So no 1-2-3 at the Alaskan Bush Company?

Ha ha. I love that place.

 

[Secret Squirrel]

Probably some S-T-D 's

 

[mt2]

Yes, but you don't have an A plan. I don't think that closes all the gap but it does a little. My upgrade is about 10 years yours is about 16.

Don't have a dog in this fight but....

A Fund ? Can you say PBGC ??

If that was the case I know where I'm bidding my overnights to! :beer:

Check out Alaska and Spirit's route map if you want to see the future...

 

[Scope out RJ's]

Its a fifteen year upgrade with 3 year fo's pulling down 140,000 a year.
I guess you are correct it sucks beeing an fo at SWA looking at a twenty year upgrade...whatever will I do.

Thank God for Pay-for-training and your highly shined knee pads to make you pull down that $140,000!
You go girl!

Something brewing at SWA? The only thing brewing for you guys is the piece of wolfbait that is currently in your hotel room toilet in LBB. I told you NOT to eat the quesadilla at the hotel bar! After that discharge I bet you dream of leaving LBB for a NICE layover, like Ronkonkama (ISP).....


Anyway, why do you think SWA would buy AK anyway? Sure, the routes are great and planes the same, but you have NOTHING in common with those pilots. They obviously don't trust you guys to fly anywhere INTL, showing you that they thought Westjet and Volaris would do a better job. (maybe they thought those guys could HANDLE it?) AK flies to places with tough sounding places, like Ixtapa ZIHUATANEJO. Can a Texan actually say that and not get all mixed up? I don't think Pres Bush II could. And flying to Hawaii would screw you guys up---you NEED at least 4 legs a day or you will go NUTS!

Also, I think AK has a 10 year codeshare deal exclusively with us, with a poison pill in there for people who try something they don't exactly want. You also overlap on too many routes, and we do not, so the Gov't would probably approve a tie up with us over you guys sooner. Their VP of Flt Ops was a DL guy, so you just never know what they might be talking about?? And, owning Horizon doesn't mean they would go on a mainline seniority list---look at Comair, Compass, and Mesaba. At least you guys LUV bags! You just never know what will happen, but we shall see I guess.....

Your funny. You got beat up a lot in high school didn't you?

 

[Benhuntn]

Motely fool list DAL as one of five companies to be bankrupt within 2 yrs. Enjoy Gen. Oberdork

 

[mach none]

as for same career expectaions...not really....they haved 100+ on furlogh right? their hourly rate is a bit off from ours....how is that the same career expectaion?

The incumbent pilots have a pension with a higher 401k contribution from the company. The new hire pilots (whenever that happens) will get 13.5%. That is worth something in-terms of career expectations.

Hardly, I was the tallest. I still look like Learch---6' 4", about a buck twenty in weight. I am awesome. Enjoy AMA and HRL.

You sound like the fool. 2 years? Maybe within that time DL will get "too big to fail...." And, plenty of other majors are in worse shape. So, that means you guys will be the last ones standing, right? Riiiiight.

Are you missing INTL flying, yet? 5 legs a day got you down? I bet you are tiring of it, and fast. Hey, at least you have the memories. Enjoy those 25 min turns through ELP.

Came over on NAT Tango last night. Got tired of listening to DAL guys blabbering on 123.45 by 40W. Between IRS/GPS and SATCOM position reporting anyone with a 8-10 hour butt can fly the N Atlantic now. Even so I believe general and his band lead in track busts every year. The art and skill of international ops is a thing of the past in most parts of the world nowadays.

That said, I don't see SWA buying ALK. Great Company but ALK doesn't seem to fit their mold.

Hey I go through ELP this week, as well as DAL, HOU, ABQ, PHX, LAS, ONT, BNA, LAX, MDW, MCI, DEN, I will be sure to go by the Delta Gates when I get a chance for you General and take a picture of all the empty seats in the terminal. Oops did I just say that? Sorry but that it my opinion is light hearted teasing like you give to us. Enjoy your time overseas, I wish I could break bread in Europe every once and a while and enjoy the history and architecture as well.

Don't you mean Djibouti....or however you spell another African crap hole they fly to. Yeah, I'd rather be in MAF.......

so you got kicked in the nads a lot? lol

 

[Cobraair75drvr]

As a prior NWA guy I agree about the constant blabbering on 123.45. Maybe I am biased but it seems we(NWA) are one of the few who constantly blabber. Do we need constant updates and requests about the ride? I understand if there is weather or mod. turb. or greater. But the constant chatter by not only DAL, but UAL and Lcc never ends. And if you fly the Pacific good god. Ual needs their own frequency so they can constantly give updates or exchange phone numbers so they can get together on the layover.

[Dude]

I'll tell you what's brewing at LUV....it's called a profit. In spite of HUGE hedging losses; not charging for bags; and a terrirble environment.
