SWA/AAI and the flight deck jumpseat

[Ty Webb]

Where have you seen this FACT? Source? Here is a fact: Tranny is FAT on Pilots.

Why would I be jealous of you. I am a STARBELLY Sneetch. You are not. How do you like them facts?

Actually, AirTran is understaffed as we currently operate. That's why we were hiring. We need to hire more and upgrade some 717 Capts.

 

[SWA/FO]

Once you get our scheduling - you will find you are overstaffed. Overstaffed about 227 ish.

:cartman:

 

[Tweet-a-Lishus]

Ty you certainly are smart enough to realize that Southwest slowed their growth to build up our cash reserves to buy Airtran. It seems like the more you post the more you sound incompetent. For someone that is date of hire junior to our senior First Officers you sure are COCKY!

 

[ASADFW7]

Who said Ty was smart, ban him for being generous!

Source? How about something from an Annual report, a Shareholders' conference, an interview with an industry analyst . . . ONE single thing to back that up, other than purely wishful thinking?

It seems like the more you post the more you sound incompetent. For someone that is date of hire junior to our senior First Officers you sure are COCKY!

Captain with hole in pocket feel cocky all day. Angry FO with broken stapler not get any nooky. :laugh:

Ty you are sure making a name for yourself on internal swa boards. keep up the good work!!!

 

[SWA/FO]

Even his own (trannies) are telling him to shut up on their forum. My own tranny says "yeah, that guy is a piece of work"

 

[GoodTimes]

Ty,

You've got a four page thread on the internal forum, complete with pictures and all. Do you really want to be "that guy"?

There's no one talking about me, or anyone else on our forums. In fact, there isn't really any discussion at all about SLI, and certainly no personal attacks about any pilots, SWA or AAI.

Ty,

Kind of says which pilot group is taking the high road, doesn't it?

You know, you guys talk a good "culture" and "high standards", but when I look at the personal attacks, the whining, the threats, and the cowardly behavior of some of the SWA guys on this forum, it really paints a different picture.

I am not sure if it's just you that doesn't get it or a lot of other airtran pilots. SWA pilots are not excited about this like airtran pilots are. Right now we don't see any benefits to merging the pilot list. We don't see the pay raise, we don't see the better contract, the better company to work for, the better relationships with the company that every airtran pilot is going see if the list get merged. So maybe that is why positive feelings aren't gushing from posts on this forum or for that fact in any SWA cockpits.

 

[ASADFW7]

If it makes you feel better Ty before I knew your name and September 27th I thought you were just weird because of your profile pic. Now you are just a pain, sitting on the sidelines carrying the flag that you are good enough, smart enough, and people like you.

Ty,

Pictures and all...of a guy who states his opinion on a stupid message, (more like entertainment), board? Some kind of great culture you guys have over there.

I don't remember a single negative remark towards anyone on the SWA side of the house on our internal board...even with the bad attitudes and threats we receive from all of you.

You should try to get hired somewhere else then. Don't comeover, I am sure you never wanted to be at SWA anyways.

 

[GoodTimes]

Don't shoot the messenger, ATL. The culture is great, BTW.

 

[ATLplt]

Nah, I like it here. I was fine on September 26th and will be fine in the future. Thanks for your concern though.

Don't comeover

There's no "coming over" about it. It's not under my control. I, as others from both sides, am waiting for my MC to work things out on my behalf. If I end up on the SWAPA list then I'll do my job to the best of my ability. If I stay a subsidiary pilot then I'll do my job to the best of my ability. It's pretty simple really, just not understanding the constant threats and mudslinging. For every Ty there's 10 just like him on the other side saying the same crap, albeit with a different spin. None of it helps any of us in the future.

I've been beating that drum since the beginning PCL-
I will accept it and move on.

Glad to hear it. Now you just need to convince your brethren to do the same.

Since we're talking hypotheticals again- what about you? If you shoot for the moon and this deal doesn't work out- what will you do? Breathe a sigh of relief that you can stay on at ALPA? Do you think FAPA leadership served their members appropriately?

Having not been involved in the FAPA/SWAPA talks, I don't know exactly what happened, so I have no idea whether the FAPA leadership served their members appropriately. I leave that to the FAPA members to decide after speaking to their reps.

As far as us "shooting for the moon," I'm not sure exactly what you think that is, but I know our MC, and I know they aren't the types to demand something that is unfair. Of course, your definition of "fair" is probably far different from ours. In the end, as I said, we'll live with whatever list is generated by either negotiations or arbitration. If you mean to imply some sort of threat by saying the "deal doesn't work out," then I have no intention of responding to threats. Suffice it to say that I don't know of any AirTran pilot who is concerned about the threats said by many SWA pilots here on FI. There is a Process Agreement, and it will be followed. Simple.

Wrong. AirTran is currently severely understaffed. Once SWA marketing changes the schedule and the aircraft routings, airplanes will fly more than they currently do, requiring even more pilots.

Ty,

Gee, what a surprise. The SWAPA forum is filled with the radical, angry crazies, just like every other pilot union forum. I'm shocked. Really, I am. I doubt Ty is too concerned about it.

 

[GoodTimes]

PCL,

You're coming off worse than Ty over there.

YIKES!, pictures of the guy?!?! I know you guys like to get naked in the cockpit but this bro-mance obsession with Ty is creepy.

Are you saying my tranny lies?

Yes, your pet tranny lies.
