SWA/AAI SLI agreement in principle.

Yep, alpo may in fact be paying too many assessments to survive but it was the greed and shortsightedness of various pilot groups that led to the demise of any last faint hope for a national union. The treatment of not just TWA, but Morris air, Reno and others has left this industry with little hope for the future. I don't know why any pilot would even bother to honor a picket line today.

I think the majority of Morris Air guys would beg to differ.

Maybe in public or within earshot of SW, but not in private. I've talked to some of them and it's almost like two white guys telling a joke about black guys, they always look around first and then vent.

Vent...that's a good one! Vent about WHAT? The Morris guys ended up with an awesome deal and the only guys I've been around that harbor bad feelings are dudes that would be mad no matter what. Most Morris guys I've flown with are good dudes and darn happy how it ended up...or a few strange apples that are darn happy how it ended up. Just my experience.

Morris started operations in 1992. They were sold to Southwest Airlines in 1993. Of course they were stapled! And pay protected. And all of them upgraded in 5 years or less. I'm not even sure what the heck you are talking about...are you?

In either event, it's easy to tell a Morris guy, look for the black tie.

And to make their awesome deal even awesomer, most banged out sick during Xmas 1994 as a F U to their perceived injustice of a staple.

I didn't say they were happy right away. It worked out for them, though.

Umm......wrong. Try again.

Let's say that happened en masse- the relevant question is: do you think they are happy and proud of their actions today?
