SWA Won't Share Its Pain With Workers

[Rook]

I see GL point, going to LBB with our DAL based FAs who will tell you how many drinks they are going to have before they take you to your room to bang your brains out is way overrated.

Dude, I'd watch my 'six' on those flights with an all-male cabin crew then. (Not that there's anything wrong with that):laugh:

 

[General Lee]

General Lee is a racist.

Huh? I think SWA/FO is an idiot.

Bye Bye--General Lee

 

[SWA/FO]

Huh? I think SWA/FO is an idiot.

Sorry General, the SWA/FO had to play the race card.

I thought you had me on your ignore list. I tried everything to get you to argue with me, I figured it was a win, win deal - I get my argument and you get 40 or so new posts.

I had to step it up a notch... then I saw my chance - BOOM, playing the race card. You gotta love it, guess I'm not on the ignore list any more?

For the record, the General is not a racist, he is just an a$$. Which isn't against the law and it helps him blend in at work.

 

[General Lee]

An interesting view. Why not ask the GENERAL to ignore me? Or even better to ignore SWA threads? Seems to me he is just trying to egg us on.

For now I have decided to challenge his falsehoods and GENERALizations. In return he calls me names, and they aren't even funny. Actually, my strategy is working quite well, now he is down to 5 legs a day and he always throws in a nice bit about our pay and "stews". The more I push back, the more rational and balanced his responses.

That is just dumb. I don't mind debating you at all. You seem like an easy target, with your "crusader" attitude. Guys like you tarnish the Southwest name and culture, not me. It's great that you love your airline, like I love mine, but I am not above it all to say we don't have some things I don't like. I didn't like it when we went BK. That suked. (watch out, Slaquer5 may say---Save up now......dork) You guys have a few things that many people MAY NOT like, and you can't admit it because you can't see it, you are in a orange haze. You have only one plane type (hey, a car is a car, just like a plane is a plane, right?), which some people may get tired of quick or in 5-10 years. Some people may like it for recurrent because it isn't a challenge. You do quick turns which can be tough on you if you are hungry or just behind. You very rarely do one leg days, most of the time you do multiple leg days, which can add fatigue and could lead to exhaustion. And, you do fly to some places that are extremely boring, and I have been to those places, atleast once. (we will start service to Lagos, Nigeria soon, although I am too senior for that)

It is tough for you to debate these items, primarily because you cannot. So, you put up your crusader shield and get your sword and are ready to defend the Southwest name...... Give it up man. Some people just don't want to fly your type of flying. The pay is great, the flying is a lot like regional flying. Slaquer5 loves DAL flight attendants in LBB, as many as he can get at a time apparently. That is great.

I never had you on my ignore list. I don't ignore anyone on here. I like debate, and the race card made no sense. I don't mind adding to my total posts. But, try to debate something constructive. You tell me what you don't like about Delta (yes, the pay is lower than it used to be, BK does that), and I will tell you, again, what I don't like about SWA. See, it can be constructive.

General,

Trying to be rational on this board can be futile. Some people just can't admit that there could be something others may not like about their own "dream job."

 

[RollinOnMy22sYo]

19 pages?? Unreal.

SWA pilots work harder than DAL pilots.

They sometimes go to AMA, LBB or MAF.

They sometimes fly 5 or 6 or even 7 legs a day.

They get paid more.

They are treated better.

They've never been raped, cheated or lied to by management.

They don't fly heavies or go international.

They like what they do.

Now, please, LET THIS THREAD DIE

 

[ivauir]

Ivuair, the

big difference here is that the General is "attacking" your airline, but you guys are attacking the General personally. So pointing out that he is flat out wrong is attacking him? Spare me Why make it personal? He is the one calling me names

That's the last thing I've got to say about this. I just get tired of opening up SWA threads and then seeing one post by the General It is never just one post and it is never rational followed by a dozen attacking him. Again, pointing out that he is wrong is attacking him? And as we all know, the General will respond to every single post directed at him.

And I WILL respond to the GENERAL's falsehoods and misrepresentations ... if that is "attacking" then you need to get some thick skin to go along with the multiple sign in names GL.

Interesting that you find it necessary to defend GL's right to post here but not mine to disagree with him.

 

[scoreboard]

Annnnnndddd CUT! Faid to black.

Roll credits, no animals where harmed during the preceeding 19 pages.

 

[ivauir]

Yeah, that guy is a jerk, no doubt. And, he is a Captain jerk too. Wow. Listen Heavy, talking to yourself again?they don't like it when people try to rain on their parade, we don't like it when you harp over and over again about things that aren't accurate representations of SWA flying and nobody is supposed to know that they only fly one type of plane I think everone knows that(hey, who cares, a plane is a plane, just like a car is a car), with multiple legs per day this is known across the country, with quick turns that make it tough to relax at all you relax during your hour plus in the food court at the airport? I'll be in the hotel. If some people want that, then great. I have no problem with Southwest at all, liar except the attitude of "I am Gawd's child, and that means I will fly a holy orange corndog or purple barney around the country, saving people along the way and showing them how to land on a carrier." What are you even talking about? Crazy. Yes you are. And some people may want to know what cities they MAY encounter along the wayFunny how you spin this now... before you were trying to say we go to these places every trip, like LBB, MAF, AMA and beautiful Harlingen. They just can't handle the truth, especially that crusader Ivuair. Disaggreeing makes me a crusader? Again, nice way try to tarnish the image of someone who dares defy the holy GL. If anyone is on a crusade it is the guy posting endless drivel on another company's threads He will fight for honor and company, because nobody will be allowed to dishonor or tarnish the Southwest culture, even though I have not. He can't even refute my claims--one plane, multiple legs, quick turns, some "interesting cities." He can't.Nice spin.



Bye Bye--General Lee

Whatever, it is funny how before I started challenging you it was 5 legs to LBB. Now you are getting closer to the truth. I guess my efforts are paying off.

Face it GENERAL (heaven forbid I play a word game with your name, then I'd be "attacking" you. WAAAA ) you have been a jerk. You were going on every SWA thread, every piece of good news (do you remember what it is like to work at a place that has good news?) and post "yeah but you gotta fly 5 legs to LBB". How about I go on every Delta thread and say "yeah but you gotta give up you pensions"? How would you like that?

 

[ivauir]

That is just dumb. I agree, you behavior has been dumb. Thanks for admitting it. Now we can move on. I don't mind debating you at all. You seem like an easy target, with your "crusader" attitude. Guys like you tarnish the Southwest name and culture, not me. LOL, again, nice try. It is amazing how you can not handle someone pointing out what you've been doing.It's great that you love your airline, like I love mine, but I am not above it all to say we don't have some things I don't like. I didn't like it when we went BK. That suked.

It is tough for you to debate these items, primarily because you cannot. It is fun to watch you try to spin what you've been doing into rational behavior. So, you put up your crusader shield and get your sword and are ready to defend the Southwest name...... Give it up man. Not gonna happen.Some people just don't want to fly your type of flying. Great. The pay is great, the flying is a lot like regional flying. Slaquer5 loves DAL flight attendants in LBB, as many as he can get at a time apparently. That is great.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Nice try at damage control. But your posts show otherwise. You are bitter about what your company has done to you, and you're trying to make up for it by pointing out what you see as flies in the SWA ointment.

If this really makes you feel better, have at it. But put me on your ignore list because I will keep pointing out the many ways you are wrong.

Fly safe my double breasted freind ...
