Will SWA and AT truly merge?

[scrub]

Wow! All I can say is Wow!!!! You guys need to start writing books and become famous authors, that way you can live in your own reality and not have to deal with all this pent up anger, hatered and jealousy! The best part is you will make more money than any pilot!!!!

SWA $10B ---AT $1.4B ,,, fifteen minutes on FI---Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[roughneck]

If the AT pilots shut down the whole operation, how long do the gate and
routes stay with GH, and would any airline be able to pick up those assets.?

It would probably take SWA about 12 hours to pull A/C off of other city pairs to pick up all the flying in NY, BOS, ATL, etc. I wouldn't suggest to any AT guy that they contemplate "shutting the sucka down." It won't work out to their advantage not to mention it is illegal.

Everybody stay level headed and wait for our respective teams to negotiate where you fall on the combined list.

Which will be best for the AT pilots. I can see where arbitration is not going to be in their favor.

Start with whatever you want, but if SWAPA offers DOH, take the money and run!

Another interesting tid bit is that buying AT is only going to cost SWA 300 million. Not much to gamble with if they want to play hardball.

It would be ironic if after screwing the
Muse Air pilots, the Morris pilots, the ATA
Pilots and the Frontier pilots, that this attempt
To screw the AT pilots led to their downfall.

I am not up to date on how each one of those pilot groups got "screwed" by SWA. Please explain?

Also enlighten me on how this could be SWA's downfall?

Nice try at revisionist history.

Muse pilots screwed themselves.
Morris pilots made out like bandits.
F9 pilots screwed themselves.

AII pilots can end up with the deal of the lifetime. I hope they do.

2 out of 3 isn't a bad average. How did F9 pilots screw themselves?

 

[Dude]

You walked away with Republic instead of SWA. That's how.

You are right, we won't really know until the arbitration comes out. Maybe your "relative seniority or nothing" approach will serve you well in the end. Best of luck!

I guess you didn't read the most recent court decision regarding the fact that Bond/McCaskill doesn't apply if the ORIGINAL intent of the transaction is to keep the company's seperate. This court decision is very dangeorus!

What in the world are you talking about? This decision is simply a denial of a summary judgment motion, it doesn't negate Bond McCaskill, it simply says for the Teamsters and AFA to argue it out like men...er, anyway to argue it out in court.

I'm still scratching my head over the "bigger planes" comment.

For pilots getting, "screwed" look no future than your treatment of TWA. Again, thanks for making congress prevent what happened from ever happening again. You seem rather interested on a subject that doesn't concern you, almost like you want to relive your sick AA experiences with mergers like a serial killer collecting trophies from victims. Instead, why not enlighten us to how the APA handles "fair" pilot mergers?

This is funny. Now I work for AA. I did not know that. I believe a huge grievance is in order.

I wonder what my seniority number is?

Well, you seem bitter enough and self rightous to be part of AA.

I'll ask again, why are you so interested in a issue that doesn't concern you?

So SWA has said they intend to keep the operations separate? And SWAPA is content to have an alter ego who flies the same equipment for a lower rate? Maybe you are right.
