Good post. And you may be right. But then again that is the "crystal ball" in the airline business that has always existed.

Maybe dicko has Ty Webb on his ignore list so he hasn't seen how he defends relative seniority as being the only fair solution.

Every time I see your PIC, it makes me want to pop in the dre CD, and sip on some Gin and Juice.LOL
 
15 pages. Same ten guys going in circles. I already settled this on the rogue thread.

The SLI will go date of hire. You get some upgrades. We get a good contract. Everybody goes home happy.

Personally I don't think we will ever get to be SWA pilots. This career has been a dead end from day one. I got management/scheduling trying to screw me at every corner. I got a union that has screwed me for years. 60 year olds who can't hang it up or don't like term limits REALLY SCREWED ME! Then I catch a break and get bought by SWA and surprise, surprise... my fellow pilots are now trying to screw me.

So fine guys burn the place down. We have a fat hiring boom coming and I am young. Just one request... If we are going to blow this thing up can we do it fast. Need to get my resume out so I can be on the front end of the hiring wave. Knowing this industry, it will take years, which will, of course, screw me!

Too early to be drinking, buddy... ;)

Relax, nothing we can do about it anyway. :beer:

I think it is a shame also. Words are very powerful. We all have our hopes and desires but to get personal with others opinions, well that starts displaying ones character and what I have seen it is not one that is desirable to work with.

Absolutely there is something we can do about this. I have written my union executives (both former and present), my union reps and the members of the M/A committee more that a couple times. And I am happy to report that each and every one of them have responded back each time. They are prepared and understand the needs and concerns of our 5900 pilots. They share many of these concerns and are aware of the hopes and desires of the Airtran pilots and their union.

SWA pilots know that this could be the largest single event in our collective history with our careers at SWA. And many, like me, are involved to communicate what concerns I may have. And our union is listening.

I hope Airtran pilots are doing the same with their union. If this is going to be our largest single event, it should be yours also.
