SWA/Airtran Process Agreement??

[SWA/FO]

Why do people go to the Playboy Mansion? Southwest is the MOST coveted Airline to work for in the WORLD. Do you notice just how many Legacy pilots flock to any Southwest thread, they can't even find this much excitement at their own Airline, and they want to be a part of it. No other Airline can generate the amount of Forum space that is equal to Southwest. It is, and will continue to be, a place that everyone wants to be a part of.

So true! Where is OY6...reserve? Hello??

In 1989, while SWA pilots were flying for a good wage (and making plenty more in profit sharing and stock options), several hundred future AirTran pilots were crossing a line at Eastern.

This has nothing to do with the 1750 pilots of AirTran and everything to do with you being an @sshole.

Welcome to my ignore list.

Is this true??

Is this true??

No.

There are a few Eastern scabs on the list, but not "several hundred". It would be a ToS violation to discuss how many exactly or who they are.

It is a ToS violation to discuss facts on flightinfo as well you jacktards!! Just kidding, I thought that was funny, my bad.

Actually Lear, that statement was absolutely true from what some AAI buddies have told me. While there are far fewer at AirTran now, there have been probably several hundred in your 18 year history (you know, retirements, medical issues, etc). I won't say how many there are now, but it would take more than I can count on yours and my own fingers and toes.

The number is statistically insignificant... probably less than 1%. To try to use that against us is nothing but a cheap shot at the other 99% of AirTran Pilots.

 

[stalker]

Yes please leave out all factual info and numbers. Nothing but opinion and rumor please!

 

[IAHERJ]

nevermind

The EAL scabs that remain on the AirTran list are very few. If you want Ammo, look at those who were hired at AirTran less than a decade later whom were unable to secure employment as pilots at the airlines(regional or major) when all were hiring.

I doubt that AirTran is/was anyone's first choice. It's always been considered a stepping stone airline.

Ty, I doubt our NC is on flightinfo, unlike yours. There is no trying anything but facts.

Worth noting, that particular ex-Eastern pilot did move on to better thing. Recently, he was caught serving alchoholic beverages to a flight attendant's under-age daughter. Very classy!

Every large gathering of humans has a dark seedy underbelly. I'll assume SWA and AirTran are no exception. I do hope that both companies have far less than the societal average.

It's classless of you to use this specifically to advance your own personal agenda.

Congratulations. You attempted to use a story about a minor being sold alcohol, to advance your personal SLI goals .....

I do have a question for you. Since you've nominated yourself as the moral compass. What are SWAPA's plans for the Eastern guys at AirTran who crossed the line ? Will they show more nads than ALPA ?

About 5 steps ahead of Centurion, or whatever MIA scumbag you work for.

Not really. AirTran is pretty much in the same league as all the other stepping stone airlines; one step above the regionals and one step below a permanent career gig with a major airline.
