Will The AirTran Pilots' Windfall Be A Consideration?

2. voted for the strike because you work at a not so great company with not so great work rules and wages.

Oh I forgot...you guys really were happy and you were willing to walk because things were going great for you.

I am throwing the the BS flag. There are no rifts between the labor groups. Just between FI posters. Its all in good fun. We haven't even started the SLI negotiations yet. Everybody take a deep breath. This process will play out. Some will be happy and some will not. A few years will go by and LUV will be much bigger and much stronger. Its all good folks. Wind the clock, just wind the clock.

Well said, and good advice. We are all just trying to exert a little control over a process we have no control over. Oddly enough, though, the debate can be therapeutic. But we do have to keep in mind that we will all be on the same team at the end of this. And from my experience on your jump-seats, I think the two groups will fit well together. The first round's on me for all AAI folks, but I'm only buying Ty domestic beer!

Fraternally,
PapaWoody

Are you sure you aren't the famous S-3 pilot by the name of Auburn Calloway? That sure would explain your bizarre and crazy posts.

Please, watch your temper Auburn, and stay off my jumpseat.

So now you want to make jumpseat wars. Because I miss read you before. Hopefully that is an inside joke.

Ty obviously can’t read all the above passages I pasted. His lack of intelligent conversation is shining through. Those he isn’t that bright and a very blind individual. It is time to ignore his useless drivel. Goodbye Ty, you need to seek some help before coming over please.

Since this is your first rodeo, there have been many great pilot groups from great airlines that have had to go on strike. You are just one CEO away from understanding that concept, I've seen management attitudes change overnight.

You don't know your history............

Auburn Calloway, former S-3 Navy pilot who was at FedEx. Was about to get fired so he decided to kill the flight crew while jumpseating so his family could collect the life insurance. Used the crash ax and a spear gun so as to not leave any physical evidence of the crime. Failed due to heroic efforts by the flight crew.

Wow KP, that's quite an accusation to throw out. I think you speak plenty for yourself, so I should refrain from helping you along.

Before you pack up your toys and go home, I asked a question regarding the fact if you would be hired today given your background in the early 90s. You profess to be an expert on the Southwest interview criteria. I guess your silence means, "no"?

Obviously the answer is yes. Why not? Why do you know that I do not? The real question is could YOU get the job at Southwest today instead of backing into it because SWA wants routes, airplanes and gates. At least I can always say that at least at some point I got the job because SWA wanted....me.

Wow, you didn't know who Auburn Calloway was either. I need to get a suggested reading list together for you guys...........

I knew of the incident. But, I have other things to do then remeber the name of some loser that does that. Not exactly history. Just news.

I think thats worse then the jumpseat wars. To accuse someone of that is wrong. Even if joking. To lump all S-3 Navy guys in that, is disrespectful to say the least. I have a pretty good sense of humor, but come on.

If I wanted to get a job at Southwest I would,

1. Apply for the job

2. Buy a 737 type

3. Buy a Hawaiian shirt

4. Go to Borders and buy a book of Knock Knock Jokes so I could be funny during the interview.

I'm glad Southwest hired you in the early 90s. Congratulations!, now repeat after me, "I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!"

I know that this board is not about offending people. But for those African American former S-3 drivers who worked for Flying Tigers/FedEx who are not crazy psychos, please accept my humble apologies.

Well that narrowed it down a little.

Give it up Dash. This guy is not worth the time.

You're right, you might lose your temper!

I'm sure that nobody will lose their
Relative seniority or their
captain seats if it goes to
Arbitration.

There will be no "Seat Grab"
Windfall for sw pilots.
