SWA culture!

[SWA/FO]

While we're talking math, simple math says that the Captains at each airline are going to have to vote "yes" in order to get a majority, and I don't know of any AAI Captains that are going to vote themselves out of a seat.

They would rather vote themselves out of a job? Big EGO Ty.... a $5000 a month raise isn't enough for you? WTF Rally the troops Ty, try to convice your fellow aviators you want to "rock Gary's World"...... bye bye, would be my guess.

So what is it Ty, a while back you said the FOs at Southwest are going to ruin it, vote it down. Now you think our Captains will vote it down? I know your Coworkers, your fellow "Crew Members" would disagree with your line of thinking. Welcome to the "Island of Ty" - out there in the middle of NOWHERE.

I put you up there with our own "donut boy" my "other forum" bros understand.

:bawling:"don't take away my Captain seat, its all I have!!" :bawling:

...but you're getting a huge raise at a better Company....

":bawling: but everybody knows I'm a Captain, what do I tell them now!" :bawling:

SWA/FO, you IVUAIR and Bobby must be drinking at the same bar, because none of you seems able to read today.

I said the Captains at SWA would have an incentive to vote yes, because to vote "no" would open them up to the uncertainties of arbitration.

I also said I was unwilling to sell my seniority, which is permanent, for $$ which is temporary.

The rest of the stuff is just your DT's kicking in, I guess. :laugh:

This stuff is getting old. Look for things to heat up this month, expect slightly surprised and mostly confused from the AAI pilots, to expressly pissed. Good luck fellas.

You trannies that like to pretend that you're getting screwed if stapled also crack me up. Especially how you conveniently leave out the fact that you're getting MASSIVE raises.

I guess you won't be happy unless you get massive raises AND steal Southwest captain seats.

Greed!

Don't make me bring Milton back.

I do not work for SWA. I started posting on these threads mainly after seeing Lear70s hypocrisy when his old threads begging to be stapled were discovered and then especially when he banned me for bringing them up..

Your first post on the subject was on 10/5, just 7 days after the merger was announced, a long time before anyone started necroposting anything or you were banned.

Better work a little harder at keeping your story straight, little mister.. . . .

Could be the opposite team headed to the woodshed. Guess we'll see soon enough.

Have a great weekend. Don't burn your wieners.

Re-read what I wrote- I said I hadn't mentioned my SLI expectations since 2010, when our respective MC/NC's asked us not to.

That's why it is irrelevant.

Sheesh. :erm:

Ty, you contradict yourself almost daily. What do you think it is to tell everyone here that you expect to keep "your" captain seat? That is exactly mentioning your SLI expectations. Oh, and by the way, it is also inferring that you expect something close to relative, since the only way you can keep "your" cappy seat, outside of a fence, is by something far more favorable to AAI than a DOH merge.

And I said it before, I'll say it again, since you couldn't answer my earlier post; you keep quoting the Process Agreement, but you don't have to read far into the agreement to see that there is absolutely no certainty to an arbitrated ISL being implemented.

Doubtful, as it's our Dad that owns the woodshed. Besides, it's not a good analogy. This isn't about punishments, and GK and every self-respecting SWA employee wants this to go well for all concerned. But as some others have posted here, GK and MVdV have made it clear that they are not going to allow something to transpire that worsens the situation for 6000 pilots here. The AAI guys will see life improve, no matter what. The powers-that-be here will make sure that the same is evident for the pilots that were already here.

I'm not sure stating that " . . .there has never been an arbitrated agreement between two non-bankrupt airlines that bumped Captains out of the seat they had held for the past 7 years" is an expectation, more like a statement of fact. . . . If this one turns out differently, you can do the happy dance.

you keep quoting the Process Agreement, but you don't have to read far into the agreement to see that there is absolutely no certainty to an arbitrated ISL being implemented.

I didn't have to respond to this, others did. Since you missed it-

The Arbitrator sets the implementation date. If the company doesn't want to combine operations, they have 18 months from DOCC to do something else. I don't see them doing that just to keep you from having to abide by the agreement you signed.

Which brings me to the more important point- the rest of the Company employees. This merger is happening, and operations will be combined, because it is the best thing to do, for the Company, for ALL employees, and shareholders . . . . . not just the pilots.

I wish people would quit quoting the idiot; there's a reason he's on my ignore list with only two other people. Even the other SWA pilots are getting tired of listening to his constant drivel.

I enjoy the calm, rational, non-threatening discourse from those who offer it. Even if the two sides don't agree on much, at least it lets us know WHY the other side feels the way they do about their position, and that in and of itself is helpful. I like understanding other people's arguments and positions and look forward to whatever our MC's/NC's work out, trucking on down the road, and building an even larger Southwest that kicks even more butt!

What cracks me up is the negotiations are apparently apparently going amicably and word from SWAPA is they are closing the gaps. On here, the gap is getting wider. The best part is the amount of misunderstanding about the process coming from both sides. Some of you really need to take a break or a while.

I'm hearing the same thing from our MC. I still believe they're going to come to a negotiated settlement and soon.
