SWA/AAI and the flight deck jumpseat

[SWA/FO]

Back a few years, I think its kinda funny how AT offered ATA Pref. Interviews in their offer to buy ATA's assets. These were for "Jobs" within the company. Not flying jobs, mind you.

SWA is not buying bankrupt assets. Big difference even if you refuse to see it.

So we should be punished because we built a company that your boss wanted?

Do you consider all the benefits of being acquired by Southwest, including a pay raise to a very large pay raise, punishment?

Interesting viewpoint.

I was pointing out "how well" you guys tried to take care of the ATA guys. Nothing more.

You're out of your mind. We didn't buy them, you did. We probably hired more of them than you did, though.

We didn't buy them, you did.

We didn't buy them either... imp:

AirTran never promised ata anything. Swa is the one that told mayor daily no jobs would be lost in Chicago. Swa did offer some interviews to ata but hired very few pilots. AirTran hired more ata pilots than any other airline. You are right that swa didn't buy ata. What they did do was put a swa guy in charge of ata and then slowly put them out of business.
