SWA/Airtran Process Agreement??

[funnyman12]

Yeah, airline management ALWAYS agree to make poor business decisions based on the pilots. I can hear Gary Kelly today on the conference call..."Well we would like to utilize the 717's on smaller markets throughout the system, but instead we will keep them in Atlanta potentially forever based on our pilot union's thoughts." I would suggest that guys that are just sitting around today listen to the conference call. I think Gary may have a different viewpoint than the flightinfo airline experts.

I'm sure they will make money at your current rates providing regional feed in ATL to mainline SWA.

Still amazed at the spite that you and a few still exhibit. Sad (and shocking) that you wish to harm yourself because "our" daddy is making you share your toys (which "our" daddy bought, btw).

I think the 717 are going to brazil, to allow TY to spread his seed of luv.LOL

This is fun. Welcome aboard come May 2nd.

I think this board has clearly proven that
Southwest's hiring standards are no better and,judging from the posts on the SLI, may well be lower than most.

Daddy (SWA) asked Mommy (AT) to marry her.....she agreed. Daddy has a mansion and invited us to move in. Mommy's house was a nice house but not as nice as Daddy's. Though Mommy was doing well and gave us a brand new bicycle(quicker upgrade).....Daddy gave his kids a bicycle too but made them wait longer. Now we are moving into your house and Daddy says he will treat us like all his children. It wouldn't be nice for Daddy to take my bicycle and give it away.....I do think he should get you a bicycle too though.....all kidding aside this is similar to a second marriage. Usually one has more than the other and the one with less moves in with the other. I don't want our existence to hurt one SW pilot at all, but at the same time I don't want to be treated like a unwanted step child. The SLI will be fair....no SW pilot will be pushed lower at all but Airtran guys will be fairly ratio'd in. kinda funny I'm watching the history channel and it is about the 7 deadly sins. Most of those (envy, pride, greed, etc) are being displayed by the individuals that want us Airtran guys on the bottom. Almost like saying that your next door neighbor won the lottery (some like to use that expression) and because he has as much money as you, that this some how negatively affects you. That would be pride, jealousy, envy......I re-iterate that I do believe that no SW pilots seniority should be affected negatively in any way.

daddy is making you share your toys.

The "toys" come from SWAPA, who has been working hard for years to get the contract that you want.

 

[kwick]

Oh they didn't tell you? Your RJ's will be locked in ATL for LIFE.

And you may be flying them
with your seniority after the
arbitrator rules on the SLI.

If you want to be the bratty stepbrother so be it, thankfully most aren't like you.

Culture is fragile and impossible to redevelop...management SHOULD be very careful.

No SWA pilot will ever be forced to fly the 717. I can promise you this. If anyone goes to the 717 it will be voluntary and they will know what they are in for.

I agree. I hope these few greedy Tools don't create a hostile place as we AAI guys are already use to. Its like showing up on D-Day a day late while we are already on the beach. They will just hurt themselves.

Well at least we have your promise. That makes all of us feel better. To much automation for ya anyway...

We made that obvious 9/27! :laugh:

Embrace the diversity and the differing opinions. If we were all alike it would be like we were all in the Air Force. OK, you'll soon find that was a bad example but you get my point!

Gup

I can promise you that only
Southwest pilots will be flying
the 717s.

I agree, although there are some on here that don't (or won't) understand that.

27 pages of pure enlightenment. I can't wait for the DOJ approval to come out. I pulling for at least 30 pages of expert opinions and predictions for the outcome of the acquisition/merger/SLI, once that news is released. There should be a prize for the first person to copy and paste the news on FI.

You brought up the 'toys' comment, I'm just calling you out on it. Nothing bratty about the facts.

In the end, together, we will kick some serious arse. And that will be a great thing!
