Were is the General Sherman on here?

Shall I quote PCL then Don?, bc we all know what he said before as well.
Seriously, you actually believed you deserved date of hire and our contract rates? You're either really stupid and without perspective, or a total naive sucker.
Either way, it's long over and stop boring us

It's my tag line for the ages now....

That's interesting that you obviously have a problem with his quote. He was spot on in predicting that SWA would not play fair in a merger. Certainly you can't fault someone for saying they have nothing against SWA it's just not for them. It's actually a very mature perspective, the opposite of the whole childish "my airline can beat up your airline" crap that is so prevalent on this board.

And on this we can all agree with the exception being that you still can't seem to admit that it was an acquisition. But, that comes as no surprise to me or any other RSW pilot.

You claimed you were bringing planes. You're not. You got RSW pilot seniority for seats you will never bring to the party. Looks to me like you got a great deal. You should count your blessings, be grateful and thankful and enjoy the security of having what any one of you guys would've killed for prior to the announcement.

Take that position as long as you want. Carry that self imposed chip on your shoulder with you when you finally come to the Southwest side of the list and you'll be pretty damn miserable here. Should make for some real fun four days.

Must be that Warrior Spirit!

BTW, I'm not AirTran. I get to watch from the sidelines. I happen to find the merger soap operas that arise out of mergers as educational should the slim chance I am ever stuck in one.
Bottom line is, an airline can't acquire another airline in a hostile manner and expect to reap the benefits of that acquisition as if they didn't.

Oh

I get it.

Sorry, I haven't been paying close enough attention. You're just another no skin in the game &hit &tirring tool like General Lee and OYS.

Success at last! At least you're finally calling it an acquisition!. On that last point we will agree. A lot of goodwill has been burned by the brain trust in the head shed to purchase an airline we didn't need with planes we obviously didn't want and pilots we don't have room for. Minus 1800 or so you've got 6000 pilots pissed at the way it went down on the RSW side and minus 500 or so you've got 1800 that are pissed at the way it went down on the ASW pilot side. Do the math and let me know who has the majority?

?

It amazes me that on a board that is for people from the entire industry that anyone could get on here and think they should be able to post with some sort of exclusively about their airline and if someone comes in with an observation from a different point of view, that person has the audacity to somehow think it's none of their business. Hello? This is a board for everyone, not just SWA. It's a good thing to hear what others think coming from a different POV. You can eaither keep an open mind or bury your head in the sand.

 

[Dan Roman]

FWIW trying to make your point by high school name calling weakens your argument. It makes you look like you lack maturity and intelligence, that or perhaps a little too much warrior spirit!

 

[redflyer65]

Never enough 'Warrior Spirit' Dan.

It's alive an well at Love Field Drive.

If you bothered to check, I didn't bring it up. Someone else reopened the can.

One thing I will give you though Wave, despite your sophomoric name calling, is that one would be hard pressed to find any OAT pilot who wasn't happy to see our anti-labor BMT kicked to the curb.
BMT = Best Management Team. It's actually what they called themselves, no kidding.

Like I said earlier...one day you will find that your arrogance was an unfortunate mistake.
