WestJet to partner with Delta?

[johnsonrod]

My idea of getting into a plane is to make as much as I can per day, 1 or 8 legs in a 737, at a stable company so I can spend as much time at home where reality is.

PS. Atlas is hiring. Calitta is recalling.

I actually want the "variety" that the General is talking about. I think ATLAS and Kalitta are pretty good companies, but they are also lacking in a lot of ways (like 17 days out in a row, nothing less). I may want to see the World one year, and then do domestic the next. Only a few airlines have that now that are worth anything, and they are DL and CAL(CAL needs a few things fixed too). I don't really want to be a cargo dog (again the pay is great at Fedex and UPS) either. Oh well, a guy can dream I guess.

To each their own-

But every time you covet one of these major airline jobs- while ignoring how they've sold you out through outsourcing- you simply give them permission to keep doing what they've been doing.

Remember: you have awful schedules bc those same majors sold you out- you'll have weak leverage at best to improve things- and will have no vote on how little or much flying your outsourcing company gets to do. Seniority doesn't work if you have to interview everytime you want to fly a bigger plane.
IMO- EVERY pilot who continues to fly for these legacies is a sell out.

I have no words for a regional pilot who WANTS to be part of the group that actively worked to diminish your career. I can barely stand looking at a Delta pilot since they last released scope (again). When was that 2006?

The problem with southwest is that they'll take most anyone with a checkbook and the ability to pay for your job (except moon-dog that is):laugh:.
I can't even look at one of these southwest, ehem, pilots, for lowering the bar in the industry by having to pay for training.

With all the flying you've given away (scoped out) over the years, it takes some big balls to accuse WN of lowering the bar.

Heck, we were among the lowest paid in the industry for a long time, and now most of you guys make LESS than us. Who lowered the bar?


Oh, and once again, I'll ask: Who, exactly, do you think SW guys pay for training? You mention it in EVERY thread, get corrected, and yet still have the idea that SW is PFT. DL guys have paid a lot more for their training over the years than WN guys.

For the record:

In the 15 years I've been at SW, I, along with all the other SW guys, have never, not once, ever paid one penny for training.......

This is the truth.

Prove to us otherwise, or just shut up about it. It's getting almost as old as the General's longing for LBB overnights!

Nice.
Same old schtick.

But in '06, out of bankruptcy, company on the upswing- DAL released scope to allow 76 seat CRJs - proving they've learned nothing in the 15 years prior.

I pulled my application that day. And I know that there are at least 51% at delta with no spine-
I'll walk right up to your double breasted arrogant a$$es in the terminal and tell you what I think of how you've screwed this industry.

It's one thing to go out and compete- it's a whole other thing to change the rules of the game and stack the deck against the junior- which seems to bea habit for all legacy airlines.

Hate southwest all you want- but my life has been fantastic since day 1 here- and WE have a long tradition of taking care of all our people, but ESPECIALLY our new people-

So piss off-

It's not schtick, it's the truth. You had to pay to get a job at swa!

But in '06, out of bankruptcy, company on the upswing- DAL released scope to allow 76 seat CRJs - proving they've learned nothing in the 15 years prior.

True, but none of us ever had to pay for training!

I pulled my application that day. And I know that there are at least 51% at delta with no spine-

Yes, but there are 100% that didn't have to buy their job at Delta! Not one of you can say that!

I'll walk right up to your double breasted arrogant a$$es in the terminal and tell you what I think of how you've screwed this industry.

You wouldn't throw a rock at a riot nancy! Besides, how can someone as much of a princess as you talk about arrogant? Your low pay and pft brought the pay scales down! I'd walk up to one of you skirt wearing prissy's in the terminal, but you don't fly to NCE, TLV BCN or ATH. However, if I ever get to the holiday inn airport in BHM, I'll be sure to look you up tough guy!

It's one thing to go out and compete- it's a whole other thing to change the rules of the game and stack the deck against the junior- which seems to bea habit for all legacy airlines.

It's another thing to get paid to come to work, but to go out and have to buy your job. Good thing it's pft otherwise you couldn't have gotten hired!

Hate southwest all you want-

I don't hate southwest, I just like getting you nancy's all fired up over having to pay for your job!

but my life has been fantastic since day 1 here- and WE have a long tradition of taking care of all our people, but ESPECIALLY our new people-

How's that open time working out for you? How about those upgrades?
Up to almost 18 years now I hear!:laugh: Wait til the furlough kicks in junior, I hear that already the senior folks are pissing that they aren't flying as much as they used to.

So piss off-

Ok junior, open your mouth!:blush:

"Yeah, we might have sold out our future, but at least I didn't buy a type rating, so there!" says the guy with the scope out RJ logo. Now, thats some funny $hit. :laugh:

........................and speaking of swa prissy's. The queen herself makes an appearance. Did you remember to change your skirt?:laugh:
No, you didn't sellout your future, you bought it!
Good thing for you swa is pft or you might have washed out!:laugh:

Scope, In your twisted world have you ever meet anyone with anger and hate issues as your self ? I feel bad for anyone or anything that has to be around you. The general, Tanker and such are just trying to have fun and get a rise out of others. I seriously think you are the type that will end up perched on a tower w/ some high power rifle. ( In other words I think your NUTS )

General, Tanker, and Scope are the same guy...

 

[scoreboardII]

Ditto.

 

[redflyer65]

The best thing is how Scope hates Southwest when they are the one's without A SINGLE regional jet,

Yet Delta has farmed out over a THOUSAND!!!

Absolutely hilarious...

That was the point, glad you got it. Scope fool wouldn't make it past a SWA interview, because we don't have a rocking chair there.

No, it's because he wouldn't have his checkbook!:laugh:
The only reason you made is is because it's pft!

You wouldn't have needed it, even if you had been hired......
