You're quite welcome. Have fun with your new best pals, the Trannies. I guess after the merger goes thru you can go back to trashing them again. Gotta love a man with principles. You rock!

At least for now you and your new best friend Ty can meet up on ATL layovers for some male bonding and maybe even some good old fashioned furniture moving!

See ya pal!

Bob,

It seems like you have some problems with the "trannies", and maybe it stems from getting the boot during an interview there? It is puzzling, but obvious. Oh wait, you have turned into an arbitrator yourself and have already decided your own SLI for them, after hearing from all sides of course?

So, you fly the MD11? How is Centurion Air Cargo in MIA?



Bye Bye---General Lee

Don't think that will happen. You are way to senior for that. He will be on the bottom of the list. And if you buy him a beer then the general is going to be real mad at you, cause you are playing with his bitch

RIGHT...you keep saying that....TO THE BOTTOM THE THE LIST

In today's arbitrated climate, that just won't happen. It really won't. Keep saying it, but an AT Captain will very likely stay a Captain, and if you do fly for SWA, you will be slinging his gear, and he will make you do 3 walkarounds when it is icy cold, before your allnighter from LBB to ATL. Sorry Ty, but it looks like you will be doing allnighters with this guy, and from LBB too. Sorry.


Bye Bye---General Lee
 
the General has NO life.

"OH, YOU WILL BE, YOU WILLLLLLLLL BEEEEE....." (in Yoda-like voice)

Airtran does them now, and you will be allowed to do them in the future. If not, then great, Delta will win again. Plenty of business people want to spend as much time as home as possible and then fly all night for meetings. If GK wants to stop what AT is doing, I am sure that is fine with our guys.


Bye Bye--General Lee

No, I actually have a great life. Besides having a great wife that makes a lot more money than I do, I get to fly what I want, where I want. I just did a great Asia trip that had a Saipan layover, and it was facinating.

Regardless, HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR! I love you guys.


Bye Bye---General Lee

AMF, you complain about your Union and then go around them and try to negotiate in public . . . Are you kidding me?

I guess expressing excitement and hope over the great things ahead is some sort of threat to unity? It's no secret how huge this is for nearly every AAI guy/girl. I guess it's also inappropriate to find concern in the actions of some who act as if they wish this deal wouldn't happen?

So Ty, must every AT pilot stay in line with the union and particularly this MEC regardless of their actions? There's plenty to be concerned with right now. Many are unhappy with how LH and TO are handling things lately.

First is TO, the well known SWA-hater, promising repeatedly that there is no such thing as a transition team. Then LH tells the group there IS a transition team, and he's heading it. WTFO? Then, making threats with the Strike Committee. This may be the worst time to show aggression. I would hate to see Gary get spooked. After the recall (the first recall that is), who knows what's next!

I am excited about this deal! There is much to be gained, but I have concerns as well. I see certain people making decisions that could screw this up, and I find it hard to sit and quietly watch this go down the tubes.

Wall St likes this merger, and GK has gone on record saying how great it would be for SWA. I don't see GK getting spooked at all, he will just have to fork out the same money for AT people as he is doing for SWA people, to keep that "culture" alive. It is just that simple.

Centurian is awesome!! Thanks for asking! You're awesome too!

The fact is that an arbitrator knows how much of a windfall this is for he Trannies. I also predict that the arbitrator will rule that a staple is 'fair' in this case, considering that if it came down to a vote of the pilot group, an overwhelming majority would be thrilled with a staple to SWA. Just the greedy senior trannie captains wouldbe the only NO votes.

In any case, looking forward to you bashing your new best AirTran CA friends here now,( because SWA is moving into ATL) after this whole merger is done.

You're awesome dude and your principles are amazing. Way to go bro. Have fun at Spondivitz with your new best pal Ty on the ATL layover!
 
Yeah, must be awesome flying CA on an MD11 for AirTran FO wages

I thought pay didn't matter? I thought one's status was predicated ONLY on one's seniority and had nothing to do with one's company and contract?

So...despite the wide pay and status disparity between Centaurian and Airtran, you'd offer relative seniority to their list if AAI acquired them. Right?

Can't the same be said for airtrans captains versus saw fo pay?

Say what you want. Sure, that's it! :rolleyes:

It's actually about $11./hr difference, plus I get an awesome schedule, an easy commute, and I get to fly with my favorite CA every day.

I luv ya, man, but you're not getting my seat. Sorry. :laugh:
