Have u polled the RSW FOs?

We all know the answer. RSW's would rather fly with micro-managers and have upgraded via organic growth. FAT guys would've rather gone it our own, that's old news.

Hopefully, combining the RSW's f/o's and the FAT CA's and senior f/o's angst will provide for a bar-raising CBA. Trying to find a bright side in this whole mess.

BTW, I think Ty can handle the round dials. Personally, I'm not scared, the 300's can't be as bad as the '9 with the old DL PDI's and monochrome radar. But, alas, I'm not worthy to fly the 300, I'm sure there will be no shortage of "instructors".

Good luck

Don't worry, Jacky, there will still be plenty of experienced FO's to hold your hand from BWI all the way down to AUA.

:laugh:

 

[madjack]

You have

Forget it,

I'll vote

This drama is in the rear view and I could give two chets if one was Morris FAT RSW or from any other place -
I'd rather fly with people that know the job and don't make things difficult.

Compete to buy the beer and coffee and move through

I'm sure it will all be fine, we all have a lot to learn from the FATs....where do I sign up for a 4 month paid vaca followed by a 40k pay raise?

Sounds like there will be some CA-CA folks in Jan-June. I doubt I will be able to hold out that long, but there will be CA-CA.

Hmmm . . . I guess you could say, "CA-CA happens".

:laugh:

DRC form already submitted to stop that from happening. Bend over and feel the LUV...

 

[madjack]

Says who?

 

[madjack]

My understanding is everyone gets SWA ID, go home, come back and do FO transition course and then bid CA if can hold it and there is a vacancy....

Says who?

Filed March 28th. AT people received an email about it with a link to the report.

Doubt that the senior AAI CA's who will be able to transition CA-CA will be seeing a raise, they're mostly 16+ year pilots, many of whom who are in management/training roles over here.

I haven't seen anything about a DRC claim, what's the basis for it?

It's not "followed by." It's "at the same time." We get the pay rates on January 1st, and then sit around for months waiting on our class date. It's a beautiful thing, and just one more indication of SWA management incompetence. :laugh:

Be prepared for another jurisdictional arbitration first. You can't file a dispute that just seeks to ask a question. You have to actually have a violation that you're disputing.
