SWAPA TA Failure and downgrades

[Tanker Clown]

Dear MILPilot,

Let's bury the hatchet. I'm sure you guys will be hiring before the end of the year. You should go treat yourself to a nice 60" LCD to put in new huge house. This economy is really picking up steam. This cap and trade thing won't effect the bottom line for you guys. Things are looking great! People are paying full fares and the jets are packed. In fact, I hear UAL is even going to start hiring in a couple of weeks.

Are we friends now? Will you write me a letter of rec when they call me for an interview?

Thank you in advace.

Your friend,

Tanker Clown

p.s. You might want to start calling jetdok an idiot. He's asking if Southwest is going to furlough. Obviously, he isn't aware that SWA is really in expansion mode right now.

This message is hidden because Tanker Clown is on your ignore list.

one of the nicer things to see in a thread. although saying that TC is the BIGGEST idiot in FI might be a stretch, we have a few.

" Hiring at most major airlines will began after 13 December 2012."

Perfect.

And then on December 21st, according to the Mayan calendar, we all get "The Big Furlough".

Continue to make that prediction for months/years, as you've done in the past with other predictions, and some day it may turn out to be correct. Tanker Tool, you truly are the biggest idiot I've encountered on FI.

Dude he's one of us. At least that's the rumor anyway.

Guppy did you apply for the NC?

Nice. Just because you disagree with a post, you attempt to "out" him. The poster may have been someone who agrees with who you THINK made the post, and maybe he copied his thoughts here from another forum. Happens all the time. Not cool to "out" someone at all and it's sort of an unwritten rule not too.

 

[Mach 80]

Hey DB, since you out others, you mind being outed yourself?

I dont know what I was thinking after a long day at the office. Kind of a dont drink and post kinda thing although I went to bed sober but not too clear headed I guess.

I apologize and will try to delete. Its all old news and doesn't matter anyway.

Moderators please delete my earlier post if possible.

aww, how cute. The highest paid 737 drivers just turned themselves into a militant group.

Southwest is all grown up.

*sniff*

It seems just yesterday they were happy exchanging high stock options for low pay. Now they've grown into a typical angry legacy.

Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.

The frustration comes from Gary Kelly deciding to hide behind his own shadow instead of acting like THE drving force in the airline business that we have been in the past 15 years.

The contract would have been more palatable with steady growth. Instead we voted it down and some of us are getting testy. As far as contracts, I'd MUCH rather work with what we have vs. what we had offered.

Don't want to be a "legacy" pilot just yet. That's why I voted no.

Gup

Whoa, fellas. Outsider looking in here....you guys are taking too many swings at each other. Step away from the forums and go hit some golf balls. Or, focus your angst on Tanker Clown. Happy 4th!

I think that if you read the thread it is really only 2 or 3 guys that are out of step with the majority that voted the TA down. that is their right and if they had a pair they'd be over on one of the union specific websites/forums expounding their brilliance, instead they are here. also their right.

frankly, I think if we voted today it would be a larger no than it was. but we'll never know. the next TA will be different and we'll debate that when the time comes.

Are lances the gay pilots?
