Thoughts on the SWA/AAI Integration vote outcome - place your bets!

[Flying the Line]

Your system wide seniority goes up at least 10% or 800 number. (I gave up 30% to give you that 10%) Plus our growth Plus our international plus etc etc.

Well It is over. And it is what it is. I just am not looking forward to flying with some swa captain who thinks he got the shaft and that I should of got worse than a staple.

Welcome aboard SWA brothers.

You offered those seats up under your DOH plea, so leave it alone.

So the question becomes.. in 9 minutes, will the results be immediate or will ALPA have one last trick up their sleeve and delay their results? I'm pretty sure the results on the SWAPA side will be fairly immediate .

No tricks here. Just simply.... ineptitude. That's how they roll.

 

[Whataburger]

I predict both sides will be around 83%.

Damn your good!

You keep eating those...I'll move up a number one way or another!

Was flying with a big Avoidance Bid guy in Domicile about 3 months ago, He's sitting over there eating 4 McD's cheeseburgers...I tell him I encourage all my Captain's to eat those and I'll gladly go get him some more! You should've seen the look on his face, He wasn't very happy!

Of course him being who he was, it's not gonna matter, It's the great one's who will not make it to 65, NOT the one's no one wants to fly with !!!

Later,
KBB

Ohhhhh believe me buddy....

It's frackin Owned.....

Just came from training, we are re-instatuting the company procedures approach into the FOM. to paraphrase" if you used to work for airtran, you cant shoot an apprch. if the wx is below 10sm and 5500ft"

Just to make sure the unqualified have time to figure out how handle these old ass pop top cherry azz 300's.

I still plan on goin to work, but you tranny people suck....

 

[texman]

Burg. Slow your roll. It's all good.

 

[carl p]

Yeah cause in 15 years flying the 727, I didn't get much practice flying round dial approaches... Sure glad you'll be there to help Burg.

For what it's worth (coming from an almost former AirTran guy), here's the gist of a very nice conversation I had with a good friend of mine who is based in HOU.


"It was a tough process, but 85%+ on both sides voted yes, so lets put our differences aside and work together, because only through synergy do we all collectively reap the benefits of this acquisition.

It kinda sucks for you Tranny people, having built so much, being the safest domestic airline in 2010 and winning the airline quality award last year, but it's time, my future coworkers, to bring that same type of hard work, and warrior spirit over to Southwest. After all, it's not about 'how you did it at AirTran', rather, how we ALL will do it as One Southwest Family.

We know that emotions ran high concerning the SLI, but now that's in the past, and, if you guys come over with a good attitute, we will help you, and together, we can build an even better Southwest Airlines than anyone could have imagined!

I genuinely look forward to working with a great set of professionals, and showing them the same professional respect that I'm sure they will show us"

That's where I am too. Looking forward to a great future together!

Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about ;-). I'm taking that to the bank. Sorry Capt. I only land if it's ten thousand feet, winds less than ten knots and minimum 10 miles vis. After the last ten years at the tranny I welcome that vacation brother!

 

[Flying the Line]

Give Burg a break. He just finished his 4 cheeseburgers from McD's.

Yes Sir! Makes sense to me. I would never expect you to fly a cat3b auto land to mins so you can have the pop top technology. I get paid the same regardless. Own it! Lol ..yeah baby yeah!
