Luv beat me to it...

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

Exactly.

Enjoy the Caribbean. Looking forward to Lubbock.

You're welcome.

I guess if you can't have a positive attitude, you might as well have a negative one!

Gup

This is great news, I'm sure we can all appreciate the added options we give each other combined.

This is right. Can't wait till Latin America and Europe.

Almost every pilot who focused on swa as a goal, did so prioritizing a better company, people, culture, money, and schedule over exotic locations. I gave up a legacy, and so did many pilots here. There are regionals with a lot more vacation and international spots than AT- so please stop that particular one. You sound like GL.

What's interesting is it looks like we'll get all the spots too.
I'm looking forward to it, but a great company is always better.

At least you'll have a Gazzilion flights aday to get to LBB, can one of the air tran guys please post your carribean "international" schedule once and for all!

Wait until the two airlines combine and the 16 billion passengers that fly on SW try getting on the vast Air Tran "international" network...you want be nonreving anywhere...

Good luck,
KBB

(yes, the numbers are intentionally exaggerated to put emphasis on the grand "international" network that we are looking forward to nonreving on! Besides, I buy ID 90's or tickets on American, Usairways or Delta...just easier with their minut amount of international flights, their are normally seats!)

You've been sounding like a Branch Davidian for a long time Wave. Nobody reads it anymore. I preferred the workout tips and healthy living advice.

My "extended family" lives in Lubbock. I'm disgusted at the prejudice implied by your post.



Edited: to add a smiley for Wave. I was worried that he may not get the joke. I was also worried that we'd be subjected to his Legacy airline history and belief system for the hundredth time... Again.

Please. You have an ALPA leader posting on this board w/ a signature telling Swapa to 'go f^ck themselves'-arguing to be above CJ- sorry I don't appreciate that.:-/

If your family lives in lbb, then the appropriate last words are "thank you"

The whole "CJ" thing is getting creepy and dogmatic Wave. The rest I agree with.

 

[waveflyer]

Dogmatic? Interesting. Alright, ill reserve any specifics- but still say its easy to downplay anyone's thoughts when you disagree. 'Davidian' though? Really?
Creepy was funny though- sorry for the gay visual C! My bad!

Just a little bit longer wait.

 

[Crash Pad]

Wow you guys suck.

"Hey look more free options"

"Yeah but is it really a good deal? I mean the price is zero and the options are greater but I still feel screwed"

if somebody was trying to steal your job or undervalue the years of service that you invested in the company, it's all one now. you
might feel the same way.

If a Legacy carrier bought SW do you think that it would be fair if the larger airline tried to staple you or give you less than DOH?

You'd be in the "Arbitation Line" in a heartbeat.

AA or DL would try to put all the SW 737 guys below the bigger airplanes
You'd be crying for DOH or Relative Seniority. And you wouldn't
accept anything less than fair.

Kwick,

Why don't you get it? Even Lear70 has stated it...the SWA Pilots should not be penalized because of this acquisition. But as Lear said there is NO WAY SWA pilots can receive all the gains that the AAI pilots are receiving. How is that stealing your job?? The SWA pilots would just like to share in the gains...

 

[madjack]

Kwick,

You know as well as I do that straight DOH would hurt the SWA pilots more than the AAI pilots...you are a much younger group who brings few retirements to the list...why is it fair and equitable that the AAI pilots win so much while the SWA pilots don't "lose anything"
