When can AirTran dump ALPA?

[SWA717]

If only we all stopped long enough to realize what we do to each other? I'm as guilty as anybody else. No seniority list, seat in an airplane or hourly wage is worth 1 life. I wish I could take back some things I have posted, I wish the words of peace I have spoke could be more fruitful. I have flown with many AT folks who have transitioned over and I must say they have all been wonderful people. Whatever it takes to take the stress away from both sides we should try to do. Let's not lose another person to this foolish game. I'm deeply saddened by this and I didn't even know him. God Bless all of you who did and may you have some peace.

+1. Well said my friend.

Agree 100% and very well put. I wish it didn't take something so terrible to put things in perspective. Would that things were different.

Lots of mean stuff said to that dude. Some real soul searching today....

I think that's the problem with social media. Things can be written and said on such a harsh or direct manner because there is no human or emotional reaction that is tangible. You can't see what is being said having an impact on a person. I've tried to be somewhat civil because of that...now I have had some spirited debates with friends over beers and sometimes they were intense...but having a face to face conversation keeps it civil because you can see the impact of your thoughts in person.
