.....which isn't that much.

Actually, not really. Proportionally speaking, we have significantly less than the legacy guys.

Substantial.

Really? When does that start in ernest? I know a '91 hire at AA who is still a mid level FO on the 767 in LA thanks to all of his Captains there being almost the same age as he is. He just can't really move up because there was a large group of guys hired that were fairly young, and he hired on after flying for the Air Force. He can barely hold MD80 Capt in LGA. People might want to look at that before deciding on a career there. Some legacies have a lot more people leaving in future years, which may help with advancement.

But I thought it was about the seat? If you are a captain at a company (regional charter cargo) already, why leave.....oh thats right.....IT IS FOR THE $$$$$$..but don't let that come into play during an SLI argument

No RD you are wrong. Career expectations are all about the type equipment you fly. That is why a career at Southern Cargo is worth as much as a career at UPS because both pilots will be on the 747.

You can preach to your Southwest Choir all you want, but the arbitrator will still be an Atheist.

Very true. Some Southwest pilots still think they will have a say in the SLI, which isn't true. Their lawyers will present their views, and the arbitrator will decide the outcome.

Thanks for the obvious..yawn.

Let's see, Airtran gains everything with a massive windfall for every pilot on property.

Southwest pilots gain nothing from the Airtran contract.

I say bring on the arbitor, doesn't bother me one bit. The list is so lopsided that seniority integration will be adjusted.
