SWA/AT future at Risk

[PapaWoody]

The west is a complete disaster, pilots on furlough, never made money and were on deaths door until the USAir merger.
Seems to be the better thing to do was let them die, but for some reason SWA couldn't kill off the cockroaches out west.

This would be a true statement if you would only substitute the word east for west. At least that's how I remember it.

It's a little after 1 P.M. Atlanta time, what time did you start drinking?

Come on, Kharma...that was a little bitter at the beginning, but it ended up being balls out funny. In a word - Awesome!

PS I would add +2000 APs (awesome points) for commenting how great it is that we all get 5 more years as a CA thanks to Age 60 change.

PW, you can tack another 1000 points if you mention your 3'rd vacation home or your 40 ft or larger boat in the same sentence.

And it was funny. Even for this tranny pilot.

Ty is my fav! Suck it SWA. Sure you have better schedules, make more money, stay at better hotels, get cheaper booze, etc... and maybe your airline has more planes, money, hedges, etc...

Airtran brings the X factor. The X stands for awesome. Our pilots, flight attendants, gate agents, and airplanes are more awesome. GK knows this which is why he paid 1.4 billion to get a small scrap of our X factor. Good luck containing our awesome in your culture. You are just lucky we didn't buy SWA. Sure we didn't have the money but most exchanges recognize Awesome as legal tender.

So to bring this full circle. I expect SLI to be fair. Fair is simple to quantify. The pilots with the most Awesome go to the top of the list. Then the rest of the pilots are slotted in below Airtran in order of Awesome. Here is a quick chart so you can add up your awesome points.

Divorce+ 10
Second divorce+ 25
Third divorce+ 50

Iphone pictures of: your car, boat, lake house, naked wife, FA you are cheating with: +20

Iphone pictures of: Your wife and kids (subtract 100) shown with pride (subtract 200) shown shortly after FA you are cheating with pictures (add 1000)

Explain how you used to do it at Eastern +100

Complain about money to an FO +1000
Complain about money to an FO because of three divorces +5000

You can find the full list on AirtranX.com

LOL! How many points for that third timeshare for your 3rd wife that your using as collateral for your new Harley?

I expect and have no issue with SWAPA asking for a low ball offer, just don't be angry or surprised when we don't accept it (just like F9).

Um...Kharma...have u seen how that worked out for the F9 guys?

What's that quote, something about "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it"?

" I expect and have no issue with SWAPA asking for a low ball offer, just don't be angry or surprised when we don't accept it (just like F9)."


Yeah...those F9 guys made out like frickin' Bandits!

That was monumental decision making.

I mean, faced with so many difficult choices:

- Liquidation

- SWA Staple

- Republic Butt Raping

Those men collectively stood their ground and opened their cheeks wide so as not to take the INSULT of the SWA offer.

Kudos!

Interesting how the Southwest pilots like to gloat about F9's current situation yet overlook the fact that the Frontier pilots were so taken aback by SWAPA's, "offer" that they said, "no thanks, we'll go with the commuter airline instead." Must have been one heck of an impression with the F9 pilots.....

Arbitrators will make sure history doesn't repeat itself. That is the game changer for SWAPA.


Bye Bye--General Lee
