Will SWA and AT truly merge?

[texman]

I have a lot of friends over at Airtran, unfortunately it looks like they need to google "covered transaction". Guadalupe is not an "air carrier", and this is not covered by the RLA or AM.

BINGO! Hello people!

We just don't know until the transaction is complete.

I call to your attention that the biggest flamebait writers are relative newbies to this site. Very few posts, but when a hot topic is at hand, these cockroaches come out of from under their rocks.

That is to protect the seniority rights
Of airline pilots is a "scumbag" move,
If that is the case.

The guys saying that shiz don't work for Southwest. Don't take the bait, homey!

Southwest pilots, my fellow AirTran pilots. As a pilot wisely pointed out on our internal message board, what good does this bickering do on an anonymous message board? We are possibly only hurting ourselves "if" this goes to arbitration. Let the trolls, haters, wannabes and flame baiters find some other use for their time. As for us, we gotta keep it real if we are going to work together!

Thanks for the voice of reason. We will all come out OK on the deal for a variety of reasons. Nothing said on this board will helps eithers cause but it just might be able to hurt.

OK, Chief.. . . . Let me spell it out for you. AirTran pilots also have a contract . . . . and that contract is binding on anyone who merges with us, or buys 51%.

Number two- Smarter pilots than yourself already understand that the faster AirTran pilots are on the SWA contract, the better it will be for both parties. Otherwise, where do you think the growth will be- the cheaper operator who has options on 25 more 717's available for pennies on the dollar, or the domestic-only airline with the higher CASM that requires purchases of additional 737 to expand?

Hmmmm . . . . Geee . . . . . I wonder. :laugh:

I guess you didn't read any of the documents. SWA is not merging with anyone, at this point. You guys are being purchased by Guadalupe Holdings, which means you get to operate under your CBA. Just another owner. Until SWA buys you from G.H no one is merging with anyone. That is if SWA decides to buy 51% of you.

BINGO! Hello people!

It would take a bunch of real brain surgeons to allow their company to operate another company that flys the same airplanes for a lot less. Standby to be bent over if you allow it.

GH could lease gates in ATL and sell future aircraft options to WN. GH could also install WN friendly management team at AAI. It could depend on how militant the AAI SLI team is during negotiations.

You aren't being helpful. We know you are worried about SLI but this isn't the way to vent your frustrations. Educate yourself.
