SWAPA Comments about 717

[SWA Bubba]

Hate to break the news to you, but this is a open forum for ALL pilot's from all airlines. That's what a public forum is all about. I find different perspectives from different airlines entertaining and sometime educational.
If you want to keep this an internal matter use an internal forum.
You can't really think you should be able to get on here and not be exposed to different points of views or that others are not entitled to them do you?

I never said that you couldn't post on this forum or on this thread. I merely pointed out that YOU are the one who always claims the high road of neutrality, and then prove otherwise whenever you open your mouth on the subject of Southwest pilots. That's all.

IF you really wanted to be neutral and fair as you claim, you'd stop trying to pick fights between two other groups of people, especially in regards to things neither of them had control over. On the other hand, since it's obvious that you prefer, at least in this instance, to be the typical jackazz annonymous poster who lobs invective just for effect, then by all means continue. It's a free country (and an open forum) after all. Knock yourself out. Just don't do it and then claim no bias--that just makes you look silly.

Uppercrust,

The reality is two fold..

1.- Gary never wanted to see the ultimate harm come to ANY AAI employee. He knew that if he gutted the company and employees he wouldn't be able to sleep at night. It's not in his DNA.

2.- You need to review what happens at most companies when they are bought by a larger company. I'll give you a hint, it's not pretty. Check the history over say 20 years.

I'm glad we have a CEO that subscribes to Number 1 instead of Number 2.

Yes, if there was a different CEO in place, most of AAI could have been on the street. I'm glad that's not the case.

Gary couldnt have pulled the number 2 option cause we were a growing profitable company. No way the public would have stood for that!

We just want to be treated with respect and equality with what we bring to the table. Not feeling the LUV at all.

Let me guess this is your first airline? You're an army boy with your lips sucking off the government nipple of your pension? Well Mr. Baby boomer I guess the world revolves around you - I say rack up the debt and pay your over promised penison and social secuirty check at the cost of my generations future. See ya PAT

The public? They could care less.

Again, just look around at other aquisitions throughout other industries. Where's the public outrage? You won't find any.

I never thought he would run you guys as a seperate company and transfer assets, it was a bluff for sure.

He could have done anything he wanted. Get over it. You got better than you deserve. Nobody cares if you feel the LUV.

Wow you paid for a membership just so you could put B717 on there and make your first post about me.....Let me guess I was spot on in my criticism.

And you wonder why no one is interested in your "leadership", or your misguided lawsuit...

Telling your fellow coworkers that they got "better than they deserve"...? Really? You're a real piece of work.

Swa guys, does the company realize the angst on both sides? Do you think they'll do anything to try and smooth things over?
