Fortunately, the pilots at Guadaloupe Airlines that really want to work at Southwest will be given that opportunity via a preferential interview. These pilots will essentially "leap frog" over the very holdout pilots who are currently preventing an integration.

What was once viewed as a bad thing by the junior guys at AirTran is now being viewed as a blessing because they will be senior to pilots that are currently senior to them at AirTran.

From what I'm being told from those guys on the inside, this is how it's playing out.

Bob, put a lid on it, now. You are an embarrassment, and I doubt that you are a SWA employee, much less a SWA pilot.

Now you did it. You just made the LIST.

Pretty sure he's a trash-hauler...Omni or something. I'm just don't get all the flame this guy unleashes in such diarrhea-like torrents. Tranny reject or termination, maybe? Funny to read all the fabricated stuff he spits out.

"I know this guy...."
"I was riding on this jumpseat...."
"An insider told me....."

Maybe "instructordude" finally saved up $10 for a new screen name...I can see it now "mom, can I have $10 and borrow your credit card?"

He's now headed to my ignore list as well, highly doubt he.'s a SW pilot and with any luck, he never will be!

AT Not To Merge With SWA

If it is only with a Sub LLC, why do we both talk about what is fair, sli, arbitration? ALPA will have to deal with GK/VD. This is what Eagle is to AMR, or what Continental express was to Continental (from a business point).

Any thoughts?

Awesome! Another thread filled with spiteful rhetoric, mis/false information, and boastful premonitions.
