Can we start a new thread.

Still trying to put words in my mouth, wave? You couldn't be more wrong. I think this merger is better for everyone. I'm quite happy about it.

Nope- telling you my perception of you from this board.
Even that last line. "Better for everyone" it's a subtle way to say your negotiating position. You HAVE to include that it's good for Swapa pilots too even though the only person anyone can speak for is themselves- why can't you speak for you only and say its a good deal on your end- instead of trying to speak for us? Why can't you still acknowledge the financial benefit you'll receive as a benefit?

It's bc you know that weakens your position- and no matter what good deal you're getting, you won't give an inch to that.
And you're contained excitement is what gets to swa pilots. This is airline 6 for me and I know what run of the mill airlines are- this isn't one- and it annoys me to know end when some downplays their good luck by saying they are only "quite" happy. How happy? "Quite".
It annoys all of us. Bc we know this is a special place- and if you don't agree we'd rather not have you. And yes, it's a good point that you have spent years treading on swa. And all of us haven't forgotten it anymore than we did your Gulfsteeam shortcut past.

But since you're engaging me- I do have a question-

Were you wrong PCL when you said AT wouldn't do well in an acquisition by swa? Just what did you mean by that and what if anything do you think has changed?

Or are you looking out for #1 now that it's happened.
(8,000 clambering for a chance to be at the bottom of all of us- please remember that)

Easy answer, he was correct at the time when he wrote that post given the context of the wonderful deal that was offered to the Frontier pilots. SWAPA and you would have demanded a staple, thankfully for us, you won't get it. So, yes PCL was correct, if you and SWAPA had your wet dream, we wouldn't do well in a merger.

 

[SWA/FO]

It's not a merger. F9 should have taken a staple, they would have been better off now. This is a great deal for trannies. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Be smart.

Wrong answer, his post was over a year before we bid for Frontier. And I don't believe he was asking you anyway, unless you and PCL have a ventriloquist act going on here.

At that time, we had basically no protections in our CBA for acquisition situations. The new scope section changes all of that, with clear requirements for merging the operations and the pilot groups within a set period of time. In addition, there is now a 4-party Process Agreement that lays out a fair process for resolving the seniority issues. With those two things together, I have no worries about where this is going.

The way our Union is set up is that people like PCL speak for me and I tell them what to say. I don't have time to read through his posts from years back like you, sorry. Hopefully he answered your question but I'm sure you will have more to complain about. Have a nice day!

It wasn't my question, please follow along, we can't slow the group down. And no complaints here, it's always a nice day here at Southwest Airlines.
