SWAPA Info packet FEDEXed to all AirTran Pilots

[Music]

Need I say more.

Unbelievable!

 

[BlueBlood]

What was in it?

Good stuff, bad stuff, no stuff? Why is it unbelievable? Is mailing something to you against some rule?

Seems like both sides are a little touchy...geez

 

[Herkdrv]

Yeah what was in it?????

 

[ATLplt]

Nevermind...not even worth it anymore.

Each Pilot Group is represented by their own union. You don't make an end-run around the negotiating committee and make a pitch to the individual pilots. It's considered bad form.

If you've ever been in prolonged Contract Negotiations, and had management send something to your home, or addressed to your spouse, well, then you know what we're talking about. I'm surprised SWAPA didn't realize that, but there are some new guys in there that might not have realized what a gaffe it was.

I'm not losing any sleep over it.

Propaganda, disguised as company literature...mailed from SWAPA. Recurring theme: "It's all about the money! It's all about the money!"

The hornets are finally buzzing. Thanks for rallying the troops SWAPA! Hope your members' union dues didn't go towards this garbage, because that's exactly where it ended up.

ATLPilot,

I was in DAL last week for recurrent and we actually had our VP of Flight Ops come in and brief our class. He actually brought in a copy of the mailer and stated it was a collaborative mailer between SWA and SWAPA to help the AAI pilot group understand the lifestyle of the average SWA pilot.

I am sorry you took that as propaganda because from what I saw it was a welcome aboard packet designed to give you better insight to SWA operations. I haven't read through it all but from what I did see I thought it was a nice gesture.

Thanks!

The FDX ALPA MEC thanks you. We appreciate the business.

An AirTran buddy of mine called and said he thought it was useful information and asked me to thank everyone in Dallas for taking the time to reach out to him.

From what he said it was nothing more than a factual presentation of pay and benefits from SWA, our VP of Flight Operations and SWAPA.

It's not the message, it's the going around our MC to deliver it part.

Unbelievable!

Yeah, do tell? Is it the same package we all got from the Company?
