SWA culture!

[Ty Webb]

Lonestar, Bob Dylan, Orangebelly and others like them do a great job of changing the perceptions of AAI pilots . . . . . just not the way they intended.

I believe AAG employees do have a 401K match with ALK stocks.

I doubt it, as it is not legal to make an employee keep there 401k in the company stock. They may have a choice, but to have it in ALK, I think not.

Not the pilots.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica] Due to the recent sharp drop in energy prices, Capstone Investments is raising their 2011 LUV projections from $0.52/share to $0.75/share. To put that into numbers, Capstone is predicting a $1.2 billion operating profit and $591 million net profit for 2011. For 2012, Capstone is predicting a net profit over $1 billion and a year end cash balance over $6 billion due to lower energy prices and the benefits of the Airtran acquisition.[/FONT]

I love the fact that you have no idea what you are talking about. Watch and learn Gen. You're going to be amazed.

No I am not. You will be amazed, since you and others on here are unfamiliar with how the rest of the industry, and SLIs work. Your union will have to give in big time in order to NOT get arbitration. If your NC would do that, then they would get hung by the rest of you, so they won't do that. That will lead them to the arbitration option, and very recent awards do not favor what you guys suggest. So, I think you had better prepare for the surprise of your life, because it just won't be pretty. It really will be amazing, for the Airtran group. You guys have got to bring that cockiness level down, and this will help.

GL, you have hate in your blood for swa. It's ok though. What are you going to do when swa and AT reach a fair deal? Who will hate on then? You say we are cocky. Have you checked your self? It's all good Gen. Cocky? Every pilot is cocky, on some form or fashion. You my friend are defined as ignorant and self serving. You should lead by example not hatred.

I want it to be a fair deal. That is the point. Most of the SWA guys on here do not. They are the ones that have treated the Airtran posters like 2nd class citizens. That aint right. So, anything other than a staple (which wouldn't happen anyway) is a loss for most of the SWA pilots on here. They don't see value in a merger initiated by their own CEO. If GK saw something, then it must be good for the whole, right? Everyone else could agree with that. SLIs are a fact of life, and plenty of SWA pilots on here don't want to see reality.

What I am looking forward to is the reaction from THOSE particular pilots to the eventual SLI. I think your company will do very well after the merger, and that is great. But, some of the SWA posters on FI need a bit of humility, and they will get it. No hatred, rather anticipation of a reality check. That's it.

GL, if Delta was acquiring AAI, and you had AAI posters telling you that they were hoping/expecting for relative seniority in the SLI, then your reaction would not be unlike SWA posters'.

And before you make the argument that SWA and delta are not equal, they are far closer to each other in breadth and market power than aai is to either. And making the argument that SWA's CEO thinking the acquisition will be a great move for the company is an indication that the two are equals is a nonsequitor.
