Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone has the real scoop on what Airtran was offering Midwest as a SLI when they were talking? The reason I ask is that all of my friends at Airtran were excited beyond belief that SWA was buying them...for about 6 hours.
Now, all but one is puffing their chest out, exclaiming "We've been "pooped" on for too long and we're not going to take it anymore!!!" One guy went on to say they'd accept a relative seniority SLI or nothing...even though he's a senior (by AT standards) FO, and will get around an $80,000 raise. (Which I see is a bigger raise than he'd get by upgrading to Captain at AT...)
So my question is, what did the Airtran pilots think was a fair way to integrate the Midwest guys? Does anyone know?
Thanks,
bs
