SWA/AAI SLI agreement in principle.

PCL the word is 50 cent doesn't travel with that large of an entourage when he comes to Dallas.

Do you guys really not get the fact that WE BOUGHT YOU? you cant have it all! sorry you might lose your vacation time and bidding power, but someone has to lose a little in this deal. how is this so hard to grasp? you guys really need to take a look at reality. 10% raise isnt enough? 45% is good but you want to keep your seniority and bidding power too? you guys were bought... think that first.

Yea we had a guy in the class ahead of me bail to Delta in I think March of 01. I was just on the verge of upgrade. The grass is always greener........

 

[bendover]

ok im hearing that 650 at fo's are stapled to the bottom of swapa list. so a 7 yr at fo , which would have had upgrade this year is now lookin at 10 to 15 year upgrade? How is this fair and equitable? Didn't the airtran guys bring thier own planes and routes and 50 new aircraft orders? Seat Grab. Bull$hit.

[waveflyer]

Meaning that AT FO would be junior again at the bottom of the capt list and making swa FO pay to fly the left seat with worse benefits and limited bases, and almost topped out for their career.
Upgrade thinking is regional thinking. If the only thing that mattered was the left seat, I'd have stayed in the RJ.
Troll is right.

Is this a joke? How about because they will make more than they EVER would at AIRTRASH and they should count their blessing Southwest bought them??!!!

 

[redflyer65]

Exactly. SW/FO rates = AAI/CA rates. Along with all the other benefits they never had before as well.

 

[maru657]

So, if Kelly utilizes this rumored nuclear option and queers the deal. Will the local political structure in Georgia want to allow Southwest in to ATL garunteeing a lot of very unhappy local voters? And if The deal falls through and Southwest dose'nt get the Atlanta base and gates, will Southwest then be forced to furlough?

 

[GuppyWN]

You don't VOTE to get gate leases, you BUY them.

Gup

Hey bentover,

The Clampetts were ACQUIRED NOT HIRED !!!.... fool what part of that don't you fools get ???????

for the loss of seniority you are being given a long laundry list of goodies than anyone would be happy to get, in fact before this deal was announced you fools were begging for a staple, now look at you acting like you bought SWA and you wont be happy until SWAPA takes a staple on the bottom of your JV list.

Look Jed, please vote it down, if you don't we will, and start thinking of a new call sign for Texas Sub Corp airways, you guys are going to need it.

I know, I know the ALPA job killing machine and your loud mouth legal team are telling you that you are entitleted to our left seats but in the end even if an arbitrator hands down a list that you guys all love and high five each other over, SWA and SWAPA only have to use the list if we are merged into one carrier and that wont happen,

so start working on the new call sign....maybe granny or nelliemay or Jethro ???? I don't know, you guys pick it because you are the ones that will have to use it and for a long time I predict.

Staple staple or a no vote!!!!!!

Hey Jackwagon, Why are you soooo afraid of arbitration?

 

[yoyoma]

lol.... arbitration is for one thing, and one thing only - seniority!

you can all be senior to us but we will pay you AAI rates for the remainder of your time at swa...enjoy!
