Swa pilots dal picket!!

[StopNTSing]

Imagine that, SWA pilot's picketing Gary Kelly. Is the "Happy-go-lucky" culture of LUV at Southwest Airlines with their employees, now a fa?ade and a thing of the past?!

"Cordial at Best"=BULL********************!

Yep, pretty much. Mr Kelly can "own" that.

Never been prouder of my fellow pilots and my union than last Wed, and glad I was able to help make history. Hopefully this week in LAS will be an even bigger turnout!

P.S. Thanks again to the NetJets, Delta, and Spirit pilots that came out in support of us. You guys rock!!!

gis pilot. What do you see?

Look sharp for your public display Grab a hat and leave your fonzie jacket at home.

I did a google image search of pilot as you suggested. Out of the first five images, only one was wearing a hat, however all five were wearing aviator shades. Maybe in Las Vegas we should all wear sunglasses since that's what a google image search tells a pilot should look like!

At SWA the hat is OPTIONAL and most, me included, don't even own one other than those we have from previous carriers. Also, if it's cold, I have one uniform jacket and it happens to be leather.

If you would like to come join the picket line, I will welcome your "sharp" looking hat and overcoat wearing presence at the demonstration. If you want to cast stones from your keyboard at the large contingent of union activists that showed up and walked the line then I will disregard your aspersions.

Seriously, this DAL guy will try to be there to walk with you guys.

Cowboy boots optional.

180tothemarker, thank you very much. Dallas was a lot of fun. If you stand next to a good looking guy you might make the news. I did twice with my shiny head.

I'm sure all of the ATA, Morris, AirTran and Frontier pilots will support your efforts. Especially if you actually strike.

Again you demonstrate exactly how little you know about ... well, anything related to airlines.

There are no more ATA, Morris or AirTran pilots, since those companies no longer exist. Former Morris and AirTran pilots are now Southwest pilots, as well as a fair number of ex-ATA pilots. Former AirTran guys were well-represented at SWAPA's picketing events, as well or better than native Southwest guys. What does that tell you? Former Morris guys are now all very senior guys here, and some have even served in SWAPA positions. To the best of my knowledge, they're all happy (and generally well-off), and look forward to more money and an improved contract. I only know a few ex-ATA guys, and they're all happy as hell to be here.

So yeah, dumbass, the "Morris and AirTran pilots," as well as the ex-ATA guys who are here do--wholeheartedly--"support [our] efforts." There us, now.

And I can't imagine why any current Frontier pilots wouldn't either. It's in their own interest for another pilot union to do well in negotiations. Don't insult any of these pilots by insinuating that they're as dumb as you, to act against their own good, out of some stupid notion of revenge (?) or something. While you may be that idiotic (and hate SWA ad nauseaum), 99.99% of professional pilots in the country are not.

Now, don't you have a picket line to cross somewhere, you scab-wannabe? Back to your hole until then.

Where's the General when you need a good fight or the ever present Walmart greeter PCL late of Airtran and SWA

Sorry, I don't post here much anymore. Good for the SWA pilots for standing up for themselves, though.

So ... what are you doing with your life now? You quit Southwest?

 

[HowardBorden]

I'm sure all of the ATA, Morris, AirTran and Frontier pilots will support your efforts. Especially if you actually strike.

I wonder if the Republic pilots, Continental pilots, TWA pilots, Northwest pilots, Piedmont pilots and all the other multitudes of merged/acquired pilots will support a possible strike?

What a ridiculous premise.

 

[PCL_128]

So ... what are you doing with your life now? You quit Southwest?

Yeah, over a year ago. Own my own businesses and bought a Mooney. Currently looking to sell the Mooney to buy a C421, so if you'd like a well maintained single, let me know.

Life is good. I do miss the 717, though.
