SWA going against McCaskill Bond?

[Kharma Police]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Ooooooooh. That feels so good!!!!

This message is hidden because General Lee is on your ignore list

Wow!, you okay man? Pop an Aspirin just in case!

 

[redflyer65]

If that is true, then I guess you could be the next USAir. Oh well.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Gen,

You really think Gary would allow that? Really? I think you know the answer. He is actually showing real leadership.

 

[CF34-3B1]

If that is true, then I guess you could be the next USAir. Oh well.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Hey General,

When Comair and ASA merged with Delta, how come those guys didn't get relative seniority?

 

[SKYBOUND]

Kharma, I don't think you're going to fit in at your new job. Just saying. Good luck

 

[waveflyer]

Kharma, I don't think you're going to fit in at your new job. Just saying. Good luck

Actually, I do. Dude seems pretty funny. And what are you gonna do? May as well laugh- it's not like his union asked his advice.

 

[Sacha]

Hey General,

Crickets chirping............whispering now........"Because they are not RD. That's "Real Delta" for all you little people.......ssshhhhhhh...."

 

[Empennage]

Temper, temper, I don't want you to have a coronary! You guys are getting boringly predictable (again) with your nonsense. Does SWAPA give you guys the talking points?

You have to be kidding me. An airtran pilot bringing up talking points. Seriously, you have to be kidding me. Wow hypocrisy at it's finest and most pure. Wow, I'm just blown away. I mean you have to be kidding me.

 

[Rough67]

. I'm a REAL SOUTHWEST PILOT

Please stop saying (typing) that .. It's really annoying.

 

[slaquer5]

Actually, I do. Dude seems pretty funny. And what are you gonna do? May as well laugh- it's not like his union asked his advice.

All I know is since he started posting different flavors of ice cream, I think I have gained about 3 pounds.

 

[doh]

Kharma,

Really dude, when you guys come on here crying that 'it's not real money right now', it really shows how little you understand about SW, Gary, and the working relationship we have. But that ship has sailed.

There is now NO guarantee that you will ever be on the SW contract/payscale. That is a MASSIVE difference from what was offered to the Fab 7.

Oh, and very few guys at Southwest are living paycheck to paycheck like some of your junior FO's were at 66/hr for fourth year pay.

RF

Bond McCaskell and the fact that you have a process agreement in place does in fact guarantee that they will be under one single contract with you. I'll bet you paychecks for a year that you will have a single list. Wanna bet?

Has there ever been an airline like SWA?

Yeah, every regional in the world. SWA just flies bigger jets.

I love how they're always bragging about their "culture".

You know the culture that causes:

1. Infatuation with cheap rayon flag ties.
2. No hats.
3. Excessively fast taxiing.
4. Pilot sprinting to the fast food joints in between legs.
5. Company approved "happy hours" with no end on layovers.
6. Pilot "wagged" weight and balance calculations.

Etc.

The Russians have a term for that: Nekulturny. Google it.

 

[redflyer65]

Fubi,

What's your problem here. We get it done. Px love us and our product, and we are efficent at what we do.

Oh, and we make more than you guys and have a great management team...you, not so much. Enjoy the Alaskan beat down.

Life is great over here, as a matter of fact, we are pretty protective of it. I wouldn't expect you, or any other legacy type carrier to understand that. You have to work here to get it. Sorry.

1. Hey, those ties are polyester buddy!
2. I have hair, don't need a hat.
3. Is that like ludicrous speed?
4. How else can I get my gym time in?
5. Haven't seen any of those, but if you can't drink responsibly, then by all means don't.
6. If by that you mean our On Board Computer system utilizing the latest techniques of actually counting passengers and baggage, sure, I'll float you the wag.

Sure, use a Rusky term, how about this one: Wear a green hat.

Dude here is the HELP:

1. Understand it won't stop immediately. When you are obsessed with Southwest, it is a bit like addiction - it won't go away overnight. Start by slowly stopping. If you try to completely stop, at first it won't work. After you feel the obsession is easing off, stop some more.

2. Find something else. Try to be obsessed on something else, maybe where you work. It helps if it is something your friend is obsessed about. If you can't get obsessed with it, just pretend you like working at Alaska. When you start forgetting about the other thing, stop going on about both of them.

3. Take away reminders. If you have stuck pictures of Southwest Specialty Aircraft all over your wall or something, start taking them off. Remember, though, that like everything else, if you do it straight away it won't work. The more gradually the better. Anything that is going to remind you of the obsession will not help.

4. Make sure you know you want to. Remember that almost everyone is obsessed about something, be it lampposts, cars or celebrities. Do not be ashamed of an obsession, but understand that one will just lead to another.

The interesting part is your MEC put no value in the possibility of your scenario happening. Even if it was a 5% chance, you should have been allowed to vote on the agreement. For some reason the financial gains are viewed seperately from a fair and equitable seniority list integration. The are intertwined, not just by me, our negotiating committe or your MEC, but will be by the Arbitrator.

Are you happy, disappointed, furious that your MEC voted for you? My wife would have been furious.

Interesting on how your banter is already at lawsuit stage (TWA pilots). The stage that implies you have no job.

Thing most folks here forget is that MaCakill Bond is based on Allegany/ Mohwak and that has zero to do with how much $$$ folks made. If I was the Air Tran MEC i would head that way too. .
