[General Lee]

What have I said that indicates I "hate" SWA???? I haven't bashed you or called you names. I have called fowl on SWA somehow thinking when they merge with someone and thinking it's a win/win deal to be stapled. I have pointed out the fact that anything can happen to ANY airline down the road, none of us are invulnerable, yet when I do I get jumped on as a SWA "hater". Nothing could be further from the truth, but the constant attacks on others here by SWA folks is certainly worth countering with a different viewpoint that at least tries to keep in perspective that we all live in glass houses and throwing stones in this industry is a bad idea.

Dan,

You're trying too hard to be nice. As OYS stated, let's just watch how this SLI thing works out between them and Airtran. It will get interesting, and they will soon eat a piece of humble pie. I can't wait to watch.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Do they pay pilots at ALK in stock? Or do they get stock options or stock as part of their retirement?

None of the above...

 

[waveflyer]

Its been several pages since there was a question, honest or otherwise. Attacks and defense is all I see.

 

[onewithwings]

None of the above...

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

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

This is two funny, the same kid in his parents basement, on FI with multiple names. I have a suggestion for your next one. (Sybil )

Oh come on now RF, the General knows everything about SLI! Remember...his company MERGED with another and everything was happy. He's positive that's the same thing as an ACQUISITION.

What's sad, though, is how he and his other personality OYS keep trying to push the Trannies to Arbitration.

I'm starting to think though...

With all that is going on with the FAPA/Republic pilots, Bedford filing to rescind the Single Operating Certificate, and not following the arbitrated list, and what's still happening with USAPA/AWA ALPA...

Maybe the General is actually on our side after all. I'm not sure he would give that kind of advice unless he wanted to bring harm to them.

This post should have been in a USAPA culture thread. Or a SWAPA culture thread.

SWA culture and SWAPA culture seem to be two different animals.

Bedford is playing FAPA for concessions and saying he'll sell off 51 %. You need to do more research before you ride up that dirt track ....

[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]


Congrats to SWA

 

[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.

 

[slaquer5]

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.

Thanks! What do you think it would have said if the Two names where switched? I'm thinking the same.LOL! It's a we thang now.LOL

 

[madjack]

I hope those numbers are accurate....

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.

[texman]

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.

Fly,

I don't see anyone on here from AirTran talking SLI expectations, much less calling for or expecting anything. What IS happening is the constant berating of AirTran pilots. Other than that we all love each other.

Cheers.

Oh, man, pass the popcorn. . . . .

A hypothetical merger between Star-bellied Sneetches and the Double-breasted Navy Guys . . . . . This should be good. :laugh:

I am thinking that's the problem with the general aka OY6 . His hate towards SWA is do to SWA pilots **** his wife. Her LBB days and now ATL days

I did. Ty, specifically.

And it would appear that the SWA folks are the recipients of the beratings. Just look on the last few pages, courtesy of gl, oys, et al.

Speaking personally, I have plenty of love. Having love to give does not preclude me from defending SWA pilots against accusations of elitism.

 

[Ty Webb]

Let's see it, buddy. Do a search. Show me something with a 2011 date on it.

I haven't discussed my SLI expectations since the MC/NC asked both pilot groups to refrain from it.

Go get your own website and restrict access. That is the best advice I can give you, because I will comment when I feel like it.

I can't speak for Ty, but I don't recall him specifically stating what the AirTran pilot group was or was not willing to accept with regard to SLI. Furthermore, I don't recall him (nor anyone else for that matter) specifically stating what type of SLI they would or wouldn't accept. I have seen scenarios and conjecture, but that's the extent of it.

As far as the bashing is concerned, you're referencing DL pilots, not AirTran pilots. You certainly have to acknowledge that all of these quasi SLI threads are full of AirTran bashing comments.

Peace.

General,

On this subject of SW/AAI SLI, you have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about. There are alot of things going on behind the scenes that you are clueless about.

I don't think any SW pilots are worried about arbitration at all. Gary won't let this sink 40 years of progress and profits. No cockiness, just the facts. Sorry they don't line up with your Spin.

And the parts where you quoted me were from early October, 2010. . . . . Got that big ol' honkin' watch and still don't know what year it is.
