The OFFICIAL list: I'll agree to honor the SWA/AAI when it's all done.

[S3sundowner]

And you will.

 

[Cometman]

Ty, I think you'll get over it when you see your first paycheck.

Is it possible for all the pilots from Airtran to come over to SWA as first year employees but still get a fair SLI? Would that mean that any Captains that keep their seat would get first year Captain pay and all FO's would get first year first officer pay?

Could that be used in the process?

 

[Ty Webb]

There are enough threads about SLI. Let's keep this one about the good stuff.

Sounds good. However, can you at least answer the above question.

I'm not on the Merger Committee, sorry.

Wjy is that question stiring the pot? Is it a question you do not want to think about? I guess the answer to my question is YES.

I was expecting an answer like this from Ty Webb but he suprised me and gave an honest answer. Good for him.

The childish personal attacks around here are immature and are unwarranted. Some of you need to grow some professionalism (Animaltail)! The mods should be comiing in 3, 2, 1...

 

[DonVerita]

You were thrown a lifeline to pull yourself out of the regional quagmire of an airline you were eternally tied to. Good luck!

REGIONAL???

AirTran is a MAJOR airline and has been for years. Get educated...and while yu're at it...get a life.

SWAPA controls this SLI no more than AirTran controls it. It will be jointly and mutually agreed upon by the two Merger Committees, or it will go to binding arbitration. It really is as simple as that.

Again an arrogant and narcissist response. Re-read your own unprofessional posts then wake up. I have been diplomatic with your arrogant posts, until now.

I do not have a "penny" in this game. In fact, I too, work for a crappy carrier. You need to be honest with yourself and STOP trying to stir the pot. I am almost certain, you are a BSer. You probably dont even work for the EAST. If you did, then you would most certainly thank GOD for America West's acquisition of USAIR. And if you dont, I personally am HAPPY you guys did not go under that Holiday Season. Thank you, America West.

FOR THE RECORD-->I flew PHL all nighters that season, I was witness of the horror and fear that encompassed you at USAIR. And for the record I would have rather seen F9 FOLD then be part of this commuter called, Republic.

Peace out.

Sir, your wrong about everything. 20+ years at AAA! And there was never any fear before May 2005?as you contend. CLT, DCA and international out of PHZl- nope doing fine out east. Maybe you should worry about your committee and take your pennies with you

Whatever you say. Happy Holidays.

Guys- USAir won't happen- the company with the largest pilot group bought the smaller- USAIR got complicated bc the smaller group bought the bigger one making the democratic processes within unions hard once the fair list was put out- there are too many aspects of the america west purchase of usair that has made it such debacle to list. But this thread has touched on a large part of our future success- once the list is combined we need to shed all previous loyalties and become Southwest.

Both sides should be equally motivated to be realistic

 

[Just thinking]

Just get it done. Looking forward to the campfire with smores and Kumbaya. Looking forward to tossing the ALPA membership card on the fire to keep it going.

 

[get2flyin]

Southwest/Airtran pilots. STOP REPLYING TO POSTS BY THE EAST POT STIRRERS. It's a waste of everyone's time and they have no business posting here. Eventually, they'll go away.

Good luck in your merger process. Don't get caught up in the details. Focus on the endgame.

Moderator hat on... again...

What part of "Do NOT turn other threads into AWA/UAIR debates" is so difficult to understand??!!

OK, realistically, I get that it's something you're living with and going through and that it sucks. I get that it's near and dear to your heart on a daily basis and is aggravating almost every day. I get that as soon as someone makes the mere MENTION of it, it makes your blood boil. I get it.

But the rules here are simple. There IS a thread running about comparing AAI/SWA to AWA/UAir. Post those opinions in there to your heart's content, but this is NOT one of those threads. I don't care who started it. No one came "running to the mods", I just happened to read the thread tonight since it involves my company. However, it *IS* violating the standing rule and we're not going to start down this road again.

In the interest of giving FAIR WARNING, once again, no suspensions for those involved today. However, no more talk of it here. This was about getting everyone rowing together once a list comes out (at least 6 months to a year in all likelihood), and it's difficult to keep a positive spirit about it with the hostility on the other topic. Back on thread topic, please, and no more warnings. I'm not picking sides, I don't care who it is, next infraction goes to in hack for a while.

Thank you for your understanding,

/mod

Exactly, this thread was created for those who will commit to honor the SLI when the process is done and move the combined company forward. I want to help ensure the next 25-30 years will be as successful as the past. I know we can all agree that no one wants another E vs W mess. Nothing gained at the expense of our future brothers and sisters on either side is worth that.

If you feel the same, get on the list!

So again

+1

Who's next?

Unafraid of kumbaya

;-)

Oh ayuh... +1
