SWA Won't Share Its Pain With Workers

[texman]

I will agree with you, it is better then a regional or a charter job but it is night and day between CS and SWA. I know alot of great guys at CS but all of them have already left or are trying to leave.

Have you heard any good rumors lately about CS.

Another cocky Southwest pilot response. You are embarassing yourself and other corndogs. translation of your response....


"Gosh, I really am a god. I fly orange or purple guppies (Desert Sunrise) and will forever, with as many as 6 legs a day (actually 7) to places that really don't interest me. Why would I ever want to layover in Munich, when I could go to Columbus, OH? I think I am above everyone else, even though I fly some of the poorest people in the country around for peanuts (as long as they have $59) and they hear plenty of gufaws from hilarious flight attendant PA's (might wanna check the latest airline customer satisfaction surveys). I get to wear a leather jacket, just like many regional pilots wear (not to mention it looks cool), and fly almost the same number of legs per day (But for 6 times the pay with 18 days off/mo). I will never get tired of quick turns, even when I have been doing this for 20 years. I sure will be rich, even though I am a flying a tadpole in an aquarium full of sharks (does the Lear45 even require a type?), I won't care because I am rich (yes sir-ee bob) and that is all that matters. I used to fly a C-5A, so that means I never want to see Europe or anywhere tropical again, I don't need to, I have already done it in a green jumpseuit that made me look like Maverick. Lubbock is fun, and Midland is second to none. I can't wait for my next Boise layover, or maybe Omaha(or SWA's 61 other destinations). I may even take off my pants in the cockpit with the captain, and we will compare moles while waiting for the new flight attendants to come up and take pictures with their cell phones. I really am a god."

It seems like the General gives reasons why he and probably others would not want to fly for Southwest, and you guys can't believe it. To you, you are gods in your own religion and you want everyone to follow you. Not everyone wants to fly for Southwest, and people on this board may agree with him. I don't believe I have ever seen the General attack someone without being attacked first. If you think someone not liking your style of flying is attacking you, then you need to toughen up a bit. And did you see Bake's response to my posts? That is a typical Southwest cocky response, but you don't address that here do you? What a crock.

So it is not cocky for the genital lee to post on EVERY sinlge SWA thread how much he hates the flying we do (he's never done it) and how great Delta is (how is the SONG thing working out any way - GL said it was gonna be great).

You are a crock - posting on SWA thread about how cocky SWA guys are....

Genital Lee knows almost nothing about SWA, but he has mosre posts on SWA threads than ANY other person. He has a score to settle - but you wanna call us names ... typical Delta jerk.

(does the Lear45 even require a type?)
:smash: :beer: :laugh:

Yes, it does, but, chances are he didn't have to buy it for himself.

Ok, I have to laugh at this.....

Genital Lee....I love it!

You call people names too, don't forget that.

Not normally, for example - someone else called you "that". I confess - people who delight in bashing others bring out the worst in me. I cannot abide small mindedness or bullies.

 

[bravodude]

a bunch of guys just got picked up by SW. Attrition is running more than 30% from what I have been told. People are beeing recalled and are going back to the majors.

 

[Whataburger]

I bet you're right. I also paid for my B.S., PPL, CPL, CFI, ME, ATP, and Seaplane Rating. In my world it all worked out.

That is pure genius. I know nothing about SWA? How do you know that? I seem to know where you go (I have friends who have given me their rotations, and I listed them with each leg), and I also continually say that you have great pay, nice stews, and good management for now. I just would not want to fly for you because I don't like the multiple legs (yes, you fly multiple legs, don't try to get out of it) with 25 minute turns (yes, most of your trips have that), in the same type plane forever. Did I lie there? No I didn't. You can't handle the truth, and you get personal. I just state actual facts and give my own opinion, which you and other Southwest pilots do not like. So sorry........

Bye Bye--General Lee

Wow, that is hillarious. I have a good one for you too.

[General Lee]

Then what was so great about your 747 job?

I thought Tower was a pax airline? You don't know what you are talking about obviously.

Bye Bye--General Lee

Cargo whench is kind of cute. You can call me that Genital.....I don't mind.

 

[vixin]

Heavy Set is just some pi55ed off little man that was turned down by SWA. After all he flew a 747. He is the same idiot that begged me for information to get on with FlexJet. He couldnt get on there either. They saw through him being an arse hole. Now he flies his little 45 to ASE or EGE for some rich guy, woo hoo impresive career advancement. Notice what kind of loser he is. When he schedules trips as a manager he picks the best trips for himself. Instead of giving the guys on the line a break. I did like how he said "my lear" in ATL. Now the idiot owns the thing. What a tool. I must say pretty sad he couldnt get on with Flexjet when he tried. They were hiring anything with a pulse. That says enough about what type of person he is.

 

[ivauir]

That is pure genius. I know nothing about SWA? How do you know that? By what you write on these pages. I seem to know where you go (I have friends unlikely who have given me their rotations, and I listed them with each leg), and I also continually say that you have great pay, nice stews, and good management for nowno, what you continually state is that we fly 7 legs a day to LBB abd MAF. I just would not want to fly for you No one cares that you don't fly for us = stop bringin it up on ever single freaking SWA thread - it is past old because I don't like the multiple legs (yes, you fly multiple legs, don't try to get out of it) with 25 minute turns (yes, most of your trips have that), in the same type plane forever. ANd I don'r want to fly for people who steal my pension - should I go on every Delta thread and bring this up[? Did I lie there? No I didn't. no, you lie when you imply that we all work 7 legs to MAF You can't handle the truth, I like the truth just fine - it is you I have a problem with and you get personal. Really? Do I get under your skin? I hope so, because I am sick of you spouting off about an Airline and lifestyle you know next to nothing about , I just state actual facts what is an "actual" fact - is that what you call your tripe about LBB and MAF - the way you imply we go there on every overnight? and give my own opinion, which is never relevant to to topics like "SWA Won't Share Its Pain With Workers"which you and other Southwest pilots do not like. So sorry........

Bye Bye--General Lee

What a load of BS. Admit it, you are bitter about how lousy your carrier has treated you. What other explanation can there be for coming on EVERY SINGLE SWA thread and sharing your vast knowlege of our schedules and overnights.

Dude you do not have one single useful insignt about SWA. You come here abd polute flightinfo with just about LBB and MAF and seven leg days. None of which is relevant to the majority of SWA flying. Yor state over and over again how you don't want to work here - GREAT! You add nothing to the discussion and dillute the content that is worthwhile on this site. I will do the same to your Delta threads (as time allows).

PS other than a joke about your name I don't think I've ever gotten personal. I could, but I don't think you could take it.

General Lee, Heavy Set.........same person, figured it out awhile ago.

Again, classic. I guess no one could have friends that fly within your circle, right? Nobody could possibly know what goes on over there, it is a total secret.......Right....

Face it, this website provides interview rumors, airline rumors, and plenty of opinions. I have mine, and you can have yours, but if I state mine you get mad. And, I love my job at Delta and know that we have hit rough times, and we have survived it. I never wanted to go to Southwest or even interview because I never want to go back to the commuter pilot flying schedule---which is what Southwest does with better pay. You can say that isn't true, but you are lying.

And I love the part when you say "I pollute FI"----huh? I deliver the TRUTH. People need to know what they could have at your company, and then make an informed decision. We all say the pay is great and the stews are fun, but then we add that there are multiple leg days that will continue forever, with quick turns that may exhaust people eventually. You will also only fly one type (unless you can show me a new order), and that can get boring. You also may hit LBB, MAF, and AMA, which is the truth----it changes from base to base (my buddy who is MDW based just went to LBB for the first time last month and got sick on a quesadilla from the hotel restaurant, and the management didn't care he said). 5 or 6 legs a day can be exhausting, and there is less of that at a legacy. People need to know the pros and cons, and they have already been laid out for legacies, and now I will do it for SW. If you want to refute any of the above that I have stated, go ahead.

And you and SWA/FO are the same. Or wait, you are also Whataburger too. You sure are a good slooth......riiiight. Nobody in this world could share my same views on certain subjects. I applaud Heavy for speaking out with me about some aspects of Southwest and going against the corndog mafia. Bravo.

It's very simple. At Delta:
-fly different types
-international destinations
-usually fewer legs per day
-management hates you (you're a liability)
-low pay, benefits, qol
-history of furloughs
-bankruptcy

At Swa:
-fly one type (less training, btw)
-domestic only (changing in 08')
-possible 6-7 legs per day (maybe about 2% of the time)
-management values you. you are considered an asset.
-excellent pay and benefits
-no furloughs
-no bankruptcy

which you you pick?

That pretty much sums it up.

Why don't we just close this thread right here?
