SWA/Airtran Process Agreement??

[Skyboy722]

That's great. Thanks for playing. Thanks, too for the ip addresses you guys left while visiting my profile and websites. . .

So it really is you then? I wouldn't have believed a rumor on a forum, but thanks for confirming!

Really PCL? Does the following update from your NC look familiar? This was part of your Sept 25, 2010, eWeekly. It was sent out PRIOR TO the announcement of the acquisition. It sure sounds like more than compensation, insurance and bonus. The open items in your negotiation were LITERALLY EVERYTHING that cost money.

That update says basically the same thing that I had said, just using more words. Things like rigs and minimum guarantee are included in compensation. There were very few items left on the table on September 27th.

A simple MEC vote isn't sufficient to remove MemRat from the Policy Manual and bylaws.

Actually, it is. The NPA Bylaws were a different story, but an MEC vote is sufficient to change MEMRAT.

Thanks for the clarification. I think I get it now. Y'all had already wrapped up the dicey issues such as training, leave of absence, longevity, seniority, etc. Basically the big stuff. All that remained was any section that would cost mgmt additional money. Basically the little stuff. Got it.

 

[Ty Webb]

Uh, yeah.18 sections out of 20-something. 90%. Of course, compensation was a big one.

....says the tool (on the end of Delta's list,) who works this exact schedule at DAL.....

Thanks to scheduled retirements via age 65, my stay at the end of the list will be very short compared to ANYONE junior at the new Southwest. Good ole GUP stated that your scheduled retirements unless your Capts go for age 70, will be a slow 150 or so a year. Not at the legacies, with DL losing 2000 Capts in the next 5 years, and 4000 in the next 10 years. So, on average, how young is that AT group? Redflyer will be very junior for YEARS after this SLI.

You are right and and are much better off where you are.

I am very envious of you. Because you are so very smart and provide such such awesome information and insight. And because you have the very best job in the industry.

Does that make you feel better?

Gary has said we could need 1,000 extra pilots after the deal is done - domestically. Sooner or later we're going international. This airline is still in it's infancy in some respects.

How many pilots GROWTH is Mother forecasting?

Gup, I think Delta will shrink domestically so will United.

Gup has it exactly right.

Being at Southwest now is like being hired at Delta before they went internationally. This isn't rocket science.
