SWA paycheck question

[Kharma Police]

There are only two posts on this thread that are negative (now three). Both are yours; a person that thinks bagging on his own pilot group will somehow ingratiate themself with SWA pilots. They know that you'll do it to anybody, including them.

Go back and review your whining during the furlough. You complained that the pilot group wouldnt stick up for themselves ..... Now you're selling your arse to anyone that will listen, for anything you can get. Ironic.

The term for those individuals is, "Vichy Tran".

Furlough? Have I brought that up since it actually happened? Again and again, incorporating it into every thread about anything remotely Airtran? I don't understand. Is it a bad thing that I wanted the company to fire me ( which I believe was against the contract) instead of allowing the union to make concessions to the contract? Yet another example of why I had no confidence in how this was going to be resolved. I am not trying to ingratiate myself to anybody (On an anonymous web board). Just sick and tired of the constant negativity ON EVERY THREAD. WE GET IT, YOU VOTED NO.

Commuting it of Nashville is tight to certain bases. Lear pm me if you want to know more info.

All right my tran bro's go easy on each other. Treat each other the way you wanted to be treated.

Hey Dicko! How is that going in dry thing working out?;lol

I wish you could drop trip back.

You can drop upto 4 duty periods with the company through ELITT. Ie: three day and turn, two 2days a four day. Net zero in ELITT just needs to be + and = to or greater for the number of duty periods desired to drop.

Hey - for the record..(yawn)... Those 6 year FOs were "stapled" behind 4 year FOs- you lost two years- that's it- it's nothing- no one here will feel sorry for you- and I don't have sympathy, bc as tex said- you don't know how good you're gonna have it-
Think some of you need to spend some quality time with a late '99 UAL hire to see someone who actually has been screwed by this industry.

 

[waveflyer]

And Lear, I'm sure some of you do wish this never happened. That and a bucket of chicken will get you a bucket of chicken-
Time to grow up and stop the comparisons. Bc it'll all change again many times over in this career. You wanted a career where mergers and all the change that comes with them don't happen, you shouldn't have chosen airline pilot.

This acquisition is throwing nerf balls at you guys compared to what this industry can do.

I never said that.

I don't eat at Popeyes.

I believed I asked a legitimate question with a legitimate concern. You should try seeing it from our point of view, not knowing what will happen, and asking questions in a calm, non-confrontational manner, then appreciating the answers that are given.

This acquisition is throwing nerf balls at you guys compared to what this industry can do.

Yes, I think I'm pretty well-versed on what this industry can do, thanks.

I know you have Lear. I still say wow remembering your story. I think posting tired is about as bad as drunk, but grumpier since I tend towards 'happy drunk'-
I didn't mean to call you specifically out as bad as I did-
But believe me, after my furlough and seeing good friends go through so much in this career much worse, my tolerance for anybody saying the slightest thing negative on either the WN or AT side is about nil at this point. And we have a % here that won't shut up about it, and I'm real bored with them. It's just been settled too long and it's not that bad.
I would like you to keep me posted about how much time you're getting with the fam- I don't mean to minimize that.
And Lear, you've exceeded your private messages- this isn't gmail man(!)

Nerf balls are more sophisticated today then back in the day, when televisions came in a wooden box.

 

[Lear70]

Yeah, I've been meaning to clear out my box for a while, sorry about that.

No worries, I know tensions have been high and everyone is still finding their "happy place"; some will take longer than others. I'm just ready to move down the road, very happy to have a job and happy that if it had to be SOMEONE buying us, it was Southwest and not Republic or American.

Wait, did I just put Republic and American on the same level? lol

 

[Lear70]

Thanks, ASA, that would be great.

The MCO commute hasn't been bad at all, but I hear MDW is a bear. PM me with BWI details if you have them, although I may bid LAS from time to time just to get some better lines so when I drop time, people will actually WANT the trips.

Now to go collapse for a bit... 13 miles sucks. uke: (but in a good way)

Any official word on contract negotiations? The last AT negotiation period lasted about what? 5 years... 3 presidents and 2 unions. Does SWA historically drag things out or will they try to keep this quick with all the moving pieces.

- Last talks went from Sep 2006 to Jan 2009 according to one article.

 

[redflyer65]

Historically, most of the past agreements have been extensions with improvements/changes here and there. This last contract was a complete re-write. I don't think the openers happen for a few more months. The NC have recently been working on ETOPS/international/redeye side letters.

I fully expect a contract extension this time around, but who knows?

Dude, that's some funny shizznit right there (although I don't know how many others got that...)

Kharma Police gets my vote for funniest post this month!

You know, people complained about Dicko's last avatar, but I gotta' say, this one is much more disturbing.
