SWA - AAI question

[Lear70]

Judging by the hour of the posts, the horrendous spelling errors, and just the outright ridiculousness of what he/she is saying, I'd say there was alcohol involved.

Repeat after me: I will not drink and post, I will not drink and post, I will not drink and post...

In all seriousness, no one on this side of the fence believes a d*mn word you're saying. Seriously? Staple us? Get rid of all the 717's (which are more cost-efficient at their current lease prices than any of your 737's and, therefore, will make more money per ASM)? Dump all the 717 pilots? Really? No,,, really?

I've been saying all along it should be fair; what you're proposing, however, ain't it, and the Citrus folks aren't buying the fear mongering that's being pedaled here. As others have said... nothing to see here. Next subject.

Oh this is rich......

Let me get this straight we are bitter because we wont give up everything the citrus guys want and take nothing for ourselves ??WTFO

Well, you did have to pay for training, the Citrus guys did not.

They are getting a world class deal right now but they want more and if they get more we get nothing and we should not be bitter ???

World class by who's standards? Yours? :laugh:

the citrus guys should be thankful they are getting what they are getting and not be bitter. Or is it all about making them happy at all cost ???

Judging by the posts here, it looks like most Citrus guys are sitting idly while the southwest skirts are all up in arms. You should be, you put out a lot of money for that job, and they didn't have to.

you tell me why giving up seniority to make them happy should make me not bitter ??? the fact that we are even talking about a SLI is BS unless it is a staple for them, even with a staple they will be making way more money than they were at AT.

Even with a staple you would still be a bitter southwest pay for training troll.

^^^^^^^^^The definition of pompous^^^^^^^^^
So you bought your job. The Air Tran guys didn't. I know that makes you pompous and bitter, get over it.

Sorry Scope. I didn't buy my job. And it's a great company to work for, so I'm in no way bitter. I like going to work everyday and getting compensated very, very well for something I love doing. Most all the employees I work with feel the same way. Its amazing.

I just don't see that kind of attitude at any of the legacies. The sham bankrupticies gutted that kind of place to work. Very sad.

Sorry if your angry with that.

I think he was talking about you specifically.

Actually, the ValuJet guys DID buy their jobs.
Many AirTran pilots came from CommutAir and Gulfstream, which means they bought those jobs.

And still many other AirTran pilots bought 737 types...trying to get hired at SWA.

He doesn't like it when you use logic and reason, blows a hole in his mantra.

He should focus more of his time trying to put the RJ genie back in the bottle.

When I think of PFT I think of Flight Safety charging 12,000 dollars to broke flight instructors with student loans for a turboprop job that paid 13-18 bucks an hour (no type rating given). SWA is not the first thing I think of when I think of PFT.

L. Star, not all of us from CommutAir had to do that. I turned down CoEx because of PFT. Picked up alot of good experience working for that airline and got to work with some great people, some of of whom I still get to see in the crewroom (when I'm not deployed :O).
