Southwest Upgrade

[waveflyer]

Canyon....

10 years ago, that was reversed. You guys are cheering for being paid so well now, but your rear view seems to be forgotten. Your pilot group was part of the problem why everybody took pay cuts. Capitalism? maybe... but perhaps the next LCC flash in the pan will bring you guys some perspective come contract time.

80 years ago delta was the panacea of the crop dusting industry- damn southerners flying for 1/2 of Joe-bobs flying service pilots!

Christ- as the years keep climbing and delta pay stays stagnant- you sound more ridiculous. Like the guy I dunked on at the Y last week, 1 year younger than me, who actually said "10 years ago I'd have blocked that!"

Yeah--- and ten years ago he could probably tell he had stomach muscles.

As walt Disney said to his animators as they were collecting oscars:
"you're only as good as your NEXT movie"

If Southwest staples the AirTran/Guadaloupe pilots then you will see serious upgrades at SWA. Anything less than a straight staple will not be good for Southwest upgrades.

Probably not going to be good for SWA upgrades then.

I disagree.
Upgrades will decrease to about 7 years on the 73

I tend to agree. Was simply replying to the logic, if you can even call anything that guy posts logical, of Bob.

Wrong, everybody took pay cuts because they accepted them. Every pilot group has the right to refuse to work for wages they deem substandard, the problem is no one wants to be the one to fall on the sword. It's always easier to blame your low pay on someone else, that way you don't have to accept the responsibility. That argument went out the window the moment pilot's started working for less than Southwest wages.

Anyone know an easy way to put an entire airline on your ignore list?

Seriously....Delta dudes....what is your major malfunction? Why are you so over-represented in the SWA-hater ranks? I don't see the same level of animosity coming from any other airline. Are you so unhappy with your lot in life that you feel the need to put others down in some misguided attempt to boost yourselves up?

Why not just get it all out there: unfiltered, no more passive-aggressive dancing around the real issues. Let's hear your beefs. This is an anonymous forum, after all. You may actually find it to be quite therapeutic.

You serious?

Can't you smell the fear? We are getting ready to go head to head with them at one of their fortress hubs and they're posturing to kick our a$$es like AMR did in STL, USAir did in BWI and UAL and FRTR are doing DEN.

The Pain is a coming. There's a storm brewing. Can you smell the ozone in the air?

Take some time off and come back here in a couple years. See if the forecasts of massive DAL growth and retirements while SWA dies on the vine is true. Trust me, there won't be any more false bravado and chest pounding, just the same thing there is here now. False commentary and lame excuses.

I never thought of it that way but so true. I have a good friend that flys for DAL, and any time we are at a social gathering together ,he bad mouths SWA so much that I get people coming up to me asking why he hates SWA so .much.



Kind of of like my neighbors little 10 pound dog, obsessed with coming over to my house and always trying to hump my 100 lb golden retriever

If that's true, there must have been a generational attitude-shift. I'm "Old Delta", and we always had great respect for Southwest. Herb reminded us of C.E. Woolman and Dave Garrett.

Even though you are scared to read this, we are not "unhappy" with our lot in life. Rather, we find your cockiness towards your future Airtran "brothers" very unsettling. Really, it is over the top. It makes the typical "Deltoid" look like a mute. Why are you so cocky? Maybe cocky isn't the word that should be used, rather scared of arbitration and fairness. Lay off the Airtran guys, and things will simmer down on this board for you.
