SWA wants to be proud of the way it treats employees on both sides in the merger

[Lear70]

We've had this discussion. More than once. No reason to have it again. Unreasonable to take my personal position on it and apply it to every other AAI pilot, especially the ones who never applied or desired to work there.

Not sure what's so hard to understand about that, but if it makes people feel better to dredge up a comment I made when I was out humping Lear charter 22 days a month away from home and apply it to an entire airline... Mkay.

Ask any ATA what COULD happen to the concept vs. the reality of Luv....or F9.......not exactly apples and oranges but in the same family....

SWA was very clear when they bought the gates and hanger from ATA. They told us they would never merge with us. They did offer interviews to a handful of at a pilots and did not require those pilots to have the type for the interview.

Yes, what AAI pilots thought prior to the merger was not relevant the second you Bought them.

It very well could if we go to arbitration. Our own union leadership told us that posts on web boards were used against pilots in arbitrations. Not just specific pilots like Lear because he is likely verifiable. But what the huge group of pilots were "thinking" by applying to SWA. I bet there is a long list of printed out posts on this and other websites tracking what we "expect".
