SWA culture!

[Crash Pad]

I did not make that implication at all - my point is not that a SWA pilot is better than any other 737 pilot - they are just different.

It's the way they fly, ice cold no mistakes.

and they lost their seniority.

So NW captains are jerking gear for DL F/O's?

Funny stuff...

My vision is what was stated- fair an equitable. The definition of this, apparently, will be up to an arbitration panel. Are you willing to accept their decision?

Let me help you out.

Integration of the two airlines will require fair and equitable integration of the seniority list as stated in Allegheny-Mohawk and negotiation of labor agreements applicable to the combined operation.

Notice how Gary said "INTEGRATION of the two airlines will REQUIRE fair and equitable integration of the seniority list?" Read that again. Then read it again.

This aint going to arbitration.

Stop trying to compare two 70 year old airlines who went bankrupt at the same time, who both exited bankruptcy at the same time, who had similar demographics, both corporate and seniority wise to this deal.

Isn't the same.

BTW, I agree with CarlP that in 5 years, hell I say today, you wouldn't be able to tell us apart if you took the uniform off. Aitran pilots have the same DNA as Southwest pilots and I'm sure we'll all work well together.

This is like herding cats... Enlighten me as to your personal opinion of fair an equitable.

Nope. My union speaks for me. I'll let you know inside of 90 days from May 13th though!

I agree. I got many-o-homeboy over there at WN, all great guys, all great sticks. A certain fondness for a few WN fa's as well. I don't get too wrapped around the axle over all this nonsense here.

What DNA is that? Paying for their jobs? Working for 20-40% less than their peers? Fonzie jackets?

Something that won't push my upgrade to never in a no growth environment. Something that won't change my list percentage at retirement. Something that won't hit me in the paycheck and QOL in the form of decreased relative seniority as my career progresses because of the demographic differances berween the two pilot groups. Fair and equitable cuts both ways. I don't expect to gain here but I do expect not to lose.

All of it. Well 2 out of 3. Hopefully you guys will get your pay up to our level next contract and quit letting RJ's fly your customers.

Nevermind..

When I retire I'll be around number 100. If you put 400 guys above me, mostly younger than me , when I retire I'll be around number 500 instead of number 100. So, yes, I will be harmed. That's just me personally, compound that problem for the FO's. Sorry, DOH is a non-starter and Relative is dreamland.

Got you beat. I would or will be around #10

My friend lost his Captain seat. He is currently pulling gear.
