Now refresh my memory, what did you bring that wasn't bought?
I'm glad that only the pissed off 5% of AT and SWA come to this site. Otherwise I might be nervous. BTW I thought the packet was very informative and I didn't read anything into it. Maybe I'm just too relaxed or too lazy to get all worked up over it. Also, since the merger has been annouced, I haven't ran into a single SW crew that wasn't very nice and talkative. Maybe if I walked around with a chip on my shoulder it would be different. Cheers.
Kinda like turning back the hands of time and actually getting hired at Southwest instead of Airtran. I would say that getting hired at either airline on the same day(XX number of years ago), would lead to vastly different career expectations.
How would that not be addressed? It's at the heart of the issue.

What is truly sad is that so many airline pilots have virtually no understanding whatsoever of what the key piece of legislation that governs their entire career says. And, even worse, you don't take the time to understand a document that was just negotiated a few months ago by your own union. Not understanding a piece of legislation that is three quarters of a century old is forgivable. Not taking the time to gain an understanding of the very documents to which your own union is a signatory? That's a different story.
In your brain perhaps. But in the brains of others they perhaps look at AAI being the riskier bet which paid off, if you were hired 7 years ago. More risk equals bigger reward or bigger loss - in this case it turned into reward.
"Obviously" senior to you? That's not the only scenario. What happens if an agreement/award comes out that is close to Date of Hire but fenced the operation for 3-5 years while Southwest grows?AAI pilots,
Boy you guys sure are spinning this well...I am a 10 year SWA FO and if all your CPs keep thier seats and obviously are senior to me and are getting the big raise under the SWA CBA what have I gotten out of this acquistion and why should I agree to it??
To start with, you probably need to realize that you're not actually having negotiations. It's probably easier to see from the outside looking in, but you better realize things pretty quickly.
AAI pilots,

True as Ty Webb likes to say "I lose nothing" but I also gain nothing? Why should the AAI pilots get all the gains?? Doesn't seem like the AAI guys want to share their windfall with their new SWA brethren. The Fair and Equitable standard also protects the SWA pilots I believe?
