Thanks AirTran MEC!

Listen, LRJ, I know all about Transtar/Muse/Morris. What you seem to forget is those are ANCIENT history. There have been a few changes in the industry in the last 20 years, Bond/McCaskill being first and foremost.

You are already too far down the merger path to back out now because of a pilot seniority dispute. SWA has always been great about employee relations, but if you think anyone in the puzzle palace gives a rat's ass about where YOU fall on the seniority list, you're living in a dream world, Ace.

All any airline manager cares about is having enough butts to fill the seats.

 

[Fubijaakr]

I would ask the same thing of you.

They is a very good reason pilots were bailing on AAI left and right. Many came to SWA.

Hey, I don't work for either company. Just trying to inject some reason into the conversation.

You really need to check your ego at the door. You're no better or worse than any other pilot in the U.S. with an ATP, you've just had a bit too much Canyon Blue Kool-Aid.

AAI pilots can bring a lot of new blood into the incestuous "fighter pilot" mentality that tends to pervade the SWA "culture". Want examples? Look no farther than Capt. Taylor's "3G" radio show. Sadly, that's you guys in a nutshell.

Bond/MaCaskill only deals with SLI awards. Implementation is another matter all together. If you think you are going to come to SWA and tell our management how to do ANYTHING you are dreaming.

But go ahead, look a gift horse in the mouth and turn this SLI deal down. PLEASE. It would be a dream come true for me.

We don't want your scabs.

Of course it would. But then, you're one of those numbskulls walking around with "Hired not Acquired" bag tags and staples all over your ID. I've seen you in the airport.

What a piece of work.

 

[LeeRoyJenkins]

Well then you haven't seen me because I have no such bag tag nor staple on my ID.

 

[On Your Six]

Nope, just the 717's.

More empty threats? This is getting good, and I personally thought it would. If I were an Airtran pilot, which I am not, and the current rumor leaks are true, I would personally consider arbitration. Godspeed!

AAI pilots need to realize that if there is no SLI agreement when the 717s start departing, they'll get furloughed and end up stapled to the bottom of the SWA list in any case.

Fubi,

You are very close with this statement, but what keeps it from happenings sooner rather than later with the 737's?

Tell me where it's written that Gary couldn't start bringing those planes over next week to SW if he were pushed into it. The whole purchase was setup this way for a reason...if not, AAI guys would already be on property.

Going to be very interesting to see what happens if the AAI guys give Gary the 'Thanks, but no thanks' reply.

I hope all Trannies listen to AAI. He knows that he is talking about!

The Trannies and their cheerleaders just don't get it.

You aint dealing with your normal labor hating airline here people. SWA takes care of its own FIRST. That is the foundation this whole airline rests upon.

OYS

Yes, please, by all means, follow the advice of OYS. Seriously.

After all, he doesn't have the info of what went on inside the inner sanctum in DAL. I know some of you guys do at AAI.

 

[Bake]

Yes, OYS does have the info. SHE knows exactly what she is talking about. She works for AAI.

 

[dicko]

Yes, OYS does have the info. SHE knows exactly what she is talking about. She works for AAI.

You are wrong and I have irrefutable evidence; Only a Delta pilot would describe flying "Corporate big Iron, 319/320" in his profile.

Case closed.

 

[Dan Roman]

Yes, OYS does have the info. SHE knows exactly what she is talking about. She works for AAI.

I see people using the term "she" on here from time to time as a perceived insult. Do you guys think your Mother or Wife or Sister or whatever are somehow inferior humans or something, I mean really, come up with some other kind of more original insult, like maybe Jackwagon or something. She, as an insult makes you sound pretty stupid (unless you are talking about my first wife)
