Southwest Upgrade

[On Your Six]

Cause what you are doing here on FI makes a difference in real life...

Some people get really upset, apparently. I am just trying to help you avoid a meltdown after your eventual SLI.

Great 3rd post. Anyway, ever since I started reading the SWA posts about what they KNEW would happen to the ungreatful Airtran pilots, I knew I had to get involved. And, I don't think SWAPA will be able to do anything about the SLI, even though they have some suggestions. Where do I get my opinions about SWA and what SWAPA may or may not do? By just reading the SWA pilots' posts on FI.

The thing is that you don't post as if it is your "opinion" you post as if you "know". Anyway, my 3rd post, you are correct on that...about the only thing you are correct on. I just don't feel the need, like you evidently do, to throw my two cents worth in on everything that is none of my business...hint, hint.

OYS-
One comment- I think it's telling, being labor in great need of payraises yourself, that you think raising wages in ATL will automatically force increased airfares.

Do you think the opposite just might be true? Why or why not? Or has our past performance - and deltas back in the day- meant nothing? Have you bought into standard airline mgmt thinking?

Be careful about how much criticism you throw around- SWA mgmt is the only one that believes in the ECONOMIC value of paying their people.

the Beauty of the internet is that ur idiotic rants and false prophecies will be here for us to reflect back on when things don't work out the way you planned, again.

What? It's basic economics that you will raise fares to help pay for the merger and rising AT employees rates. I think it is great, since Delta's main competition in ATL will be paying their FOs SWA rates soon. That will help us come negotiation time. That is what you did too when Delta and United had higher rates back in the day. And I know a bit about bad management, watching UAL go through all of this mess since 9-11. I actually think the current DL management is a big improvement, and has a lot going for it. Will they fall over and give us a huge raise for nothing? Probably not, but the AT guys getting a huge raise will help our cause. That will also increase fares for SWA to pay for it all. Your fares aren't always the cheapest, you know....

I am looking forward to it. Your meltdown will be a classic.

Your disdain for Southwest is classic. I'm not buying the 'setting the record straight for the AAI guys' anymore.

You want to see something bad happen to all the SW guys for once. In working for a great airline and getting top pay...those guys need to feel some pain! Sorry your so miserabile with your career choices.

I feel happy where I am at NOW. That is all that matters to me. And I don't want to see bad things happen to SWA pilots. Your merger is a GOOD thing, but you seem to think it is a bad thing. Why is that? Your company will be stronger as a result, right? GK and the bankers think so. Why again do you think it is something bad? Arbitration is a natural process if your two MECs can't get a fair decision together. You equate that as a bad thing, and that is bad itself. Certain SWA pilots on this board may have a meltdown, and because of their current attitudes, that will be satisfying, but overall your merger is a good thing for you and the AT guys. If they change their confrontational attitudes towards their future "brothers", I will change mine. Simple as that. See ya.

That's a rip. Do you know what the definition of a sociopath is?

What "confrontational attitude?"

As an outsider you may have no awareness of the efforts to welcome the AAI pilots. SWAPA used OUR dues money to throw them welcoming parties. SWAPA established a web site to provide up to date information.

ALPA has been less than cordial.
