Taking the high road - SWATRAN debate

[ILUVURBANMYERS]

FI is for entertainment value only. If ya really add up the number of guys with a dog in the fight that post, it comes out to a max of 30 or so. Forums always attract the radicals. On the pprune nearly everyone hated the last contract and it passed 80%+.
Once we do get an SLI out to the membership to vote my guess is the usual players will screw themselves into the ceiling with the pot stirring guys going nuts.
THEN the normal come to work to a good job and go home crowd will vote it in. Then we can get on with the business at hand putting the hammer to ATL.

Great thread.

I knew there were cooler heads around here. Hopefully something can get hashed out here in the next couple of weeks and we can start the process of kicking ass in the airline industry.

Hey Trannies the news just keep getting better!!

Fee-Waived Travel on AirTran Begins Monday, July 18

Check your memos on swalife.com

I'm sorry if this is bad news for some of you, this is great news, at least for me.

Well, Elcid had the high road for a whole 18 minutes. Then the pig showed up. I think most of us appreciate the effort though.

 

[elcid]

Catfish,

I'm not making excuses, but swafo was an abused child and probably didn't mean it the way it came across... I hope. Okay, I don't know him actually. Either way, there's always going to be a pot stirrer on an anonymous forum. For everyone's sake I think we are better off not stirring the pot though. Pour a glass of scotch, listen to some tunes and chill (kick the dog, whatever). It'll all be over soon and we can tell our FOs about it years from now when its all ancient history.

Thought he was talking about OYS jumping in the fray(at 18 minutes). SWFO is just abused by his wife, just entertainment here for him.

[elcid]

Good point. See, I told you he didn't mean it that way!

 

[SWA/FO]

So you guys think streamlined Non-Rev travel on Air Tran and Southwest is bad news? Example: You are a Tranny with a Family you will be able to list and non-rev on Southwest. Or Second example: You are a Southwest employee with Family and want to non-rev on Air Tran = NOW YOU CAN!

Sorry you guys are looking for some hidden message here. There isn't one.

First off, not many "trannies" have families , many FL pilots do though. Second, you guys are already seeing immediate benefits with the carribean and mexico, what do we get, austin, el paso, and brownsville?

 

[SWA/FO]

and brownsville?

Not Brownville.... You get tons more options for getting places. Exciting news!!

Luv beat me to it...

Don't forget Harlingen. Simply gorgeous this time of year.

 

[Luv2BFlyin]

It is good news for those that live in each other's cities and mutual jump seaters. Hopefully if you are pass riding you'll still stop up front and say hi. Don't get used to the bidness class though.

How about you appreciate the job security you just inherited, this is an immediate benefit right off the bat. GK Stated that AT's Caribbean frequency is weak and is going to get a boost because of our route structure and passengers. Don't knock our cities, and it is Hrl not Bro dumb azzz. I am sure you will luv the Europe and Latin America that mainline SWA will bring to you too!

Don't be an idiot plz!

Amazing. The best domestic route system in the country and the easiest to non-rev on. Nothing but bitchin! Cultural poison.
