SWA/FL Codeshare

Ummmm, you don't seem to understand arbitration. A guy, or a group of them, listen to each side (union people) talk about what each side is bringing to the table, etc. Then, they decide, without any outside influence. They are getting paid a fee, they don't have bias, they are called NEUTRALS. Then, they give the award, and an explanation. If people are upset, they are upset at the arbitrators, not their own people or management. If you think SWA had "all the goods" for this merger, the arbitrators would probably see it that way also, and would have awarded accordingly. It's just that easy, and your people decided against it. That was bad.....

You clearly didn't get the point.

You too!! Although Using something as sacred with sarcasm is a true display of character.

It wasn't sarcasm. It was irritation and simply wishing you a Merry Christmas to end the conversation. But way to twist that around into something it's not, as well. What was that about a display of character?

You forgot one!

Very true. The Californian carpet baggers added that one right?

Sorry didn't realize 9 aircraft was such a huge part of your "healthy" airlines' fleet.

ARBITRATION: A panel of judges takes a look at what each group brings to the table and then sticks to precedent...Judges don't like to change 30 years of merger/acq precedent and the precedent has favored the pilot group from the the smaller, acquired carrier...no thanks...we get it AAI wanted SWA seniority, pay, seats and benefits...SWA pilots view AAI as a "less than desirable" career airline...the fact that the AAI pilots were willing to strike in 2009 indicates they felt the same. Many AAI pilots had applications at SWA and those that have transitioned over are happy to be here and realize how good a job at SWA is vs AAI.

Go ahead and gnash those teeth and claim corporate subterfuge and deceit...but the truth of the matter is an arbitrated result based on precedent would have been a collosal windfall for AAI and a complete injustice to all SWA pilots who worked their entire careers for a job at SWA, started at the bottom and earned their seniority/seat at SWA.

AAI pilots who byatch and moan will be viewed by their RSW peers as ungrateful whiners, who received a chance to work at a great company with relatively little cost of entry...and are complaining that they couldn't gain more over their coworkers...

I know, of all the nerve. To expect to be treated as an equal. we are a bunch of greedy worthless bags of S$&t. I sorry I thought There was a chance I could be as good as a RSW pilot. I promise not to ever dream that big again sir. Maybe some day you can show us how real pilots fly. Keep drinking the coolaid, pain is comming your way soon. I'm going to laugh while you spoiled babies cry when GK spanks you hard.
