So, ummm, wasn't this thread supposed to be about SWA?
 
Not to hijack the thread but TC is right. Uncle Sam's beahhhhtches make pretty good dough. The steady 3% per year increase has slowly surpassed most airline pay. All my buds who stayed (and most have)have made O-5 and are making six figures. If you can put up with the b.s., making it a career is a smart move. Having said this, I for one do not regret leaving even with the massive paycut I/we had to endure.

Tanker Clown-

Wait until Hillary Clinton is in office, you'll be lucky to get 3% or even have a job. I remember when Bill came in, less pay increases and more time TDY. The dark years!

I left my AF tanker job this year for Delta and so far I have no regrets. Yeah I took a 60% pay cut, had to work Turkey Day and now X-Mas, but I would have also if I was in the AF. Oh well at least I get to fly a newer jet that is around 15 years old vs 48 years old when I cross the pond oh and don't have to worry about all that other AF BS!

Ask me a few years from now and we'll see what I think. Grass is always greener!

I seriously doubt that the gub'ment would can me. You probably can't get better job security than working for the man. Last time I checked the federal budget only grew.

I'm always happy with a 3% raise. It's better than pay cut! Or the 1.5% that the General will get in Jan. So, I guess with my pay raise I'll the pay gap between me and 737 Pylt will only grow (with the humble gub'ment servant earning more....and being home more.)

Sorry to split hairs with you spanky clown, your WAGES are still not higher. Your 3% raise is higher (than our 2%), but if that's what you want to slap hi fives about, then you're right, you're better paid!
Now chop chop, you better get studying for that SWA interview.
Anyone want to take wagers on how many times it takes this dufus to get hired by SWA? :laugh:
Maybe you should practice your real job......"Would you like fries with that coke?":laugh: Judging by your picture, you've had way too many fries anyway!
AMF!

B.M. (Ha Ha that's pretty fitting),

That's IF you upgrade. Merger + recession = a decade in the right seat. So, I'm really not sure that another FO can have an FO retrained. Sorry to quickly expose your vast limitations.

I'll but ALL the beers....since I make MORE money than you. Man, for talking a good game you don't make sh!t compared to a AF guy (or a SWA guy on 3rd year pay).

If I upgrade? I can already hold MD88 Captain easily, but am waiting for a plane I actually WANT to fly. Merger? No actual fiction yet, only talk from hedge funds and some analysts. Recession? Why do you think we are adding INTL routes? And if all of that did happen, you would not be hired because hiring would hault. Why are we still scheduled to hire 600-700 next year? Sounds like growth to me, INTL growth. And, my 9 month seat hold (moving from DOM to INTL 767 has a 9 month hold) is up soon, and you know what that means?

As far as making as much as you do, my wife makes a lot more than I do (Advertising sales VP), so I think WE make more than you do. Have fun, Sarge. Don't be upset that your Fedex dreams, or Southwest dreams are grinding to a hault thanks to age 65. Your options are becoming limited as you continue to live on base for free. You may have to actually try to become a "General." (Our Country would be in sorry shape if you did......) Instead, you will always be "Sarge" to us.

Bye Bye--General Lee

Just because you guys are hiring 600 this year doesn't mean that there isn't a recession on the way. Or for that matter an international recession (other countries have recessions too don't they?). Hiring isn't an indication of how well you company is doing. You guys will hire till you furlough again.

By the way, your pay "raise" is a little less than 2%...and inflation is 3+%...doesn't that mean your taking another pay cut? I guess that's par for the course with you Delta guys. Nothing says Happy New Year like working for less money. It's the Delta way!

By the way, nice job posting ast 737 Pylt and then logging in as General Lee right after. It's really thrown us all of course. We totally can't tell you're the same guy.

Thanks for calling me Sarge...just think, if a Sarge made $150K what would a LTC make? I assume it would be sh!t ton more than a Delta 12 year FO. I still can't believe for such an awsome aviator as yourself that you make only what at 3 year SWA guy makes (a guy that isn't even working the system)...man, it must rule to be you.
 
Maybe Tanker A$$clown will get rifted a week before sanctuary....

Not likely. I figure you guys are about 1,000,000 times more likely to take a pay cut before I get RIF'd. I guess I forgot that you have a pay cut scheduled for 1 Jan 08 when your "raise" is only half of inflation.

Tanker Clown is chugging way too much **** as the wing Neal to get riffed.

He voluteered to lead the CAP detatchment at his base. Some say it was to kiss more ***. I personally think it was to hang out with the young boys.

MOD EDIT: REMOVED CREATIVE SPELLING AND IMPLEMENTED A 10 DAY BAN FOR THE YOUNG BOY COMMENT.

Seriously 737 Pylt, still mad you got a pay cut...I guess you shouldn't be since you voted for it.

Or are you still mad that I make more money than you?

But then again, maybe you're still mad a 3 year SWA/FO makes more than a 12 year Delta FO?

I'd be mad too. Ever since you rolled on your pay cuts you guys have been a joke.

FYI, still haven't even applied at SWA yet....but I will.
 
According to the headline...SWA is going to acquire Horizon...

Don't mean to intrude on y'alls pissing match, but the headline says..."Southwest's CEO sees acquisitions on horizon in a rough airline atmosphere..."

The "horizon" in this sentence is NOT Horizon airlines. It is being used as a descripter, "on (the) horizon...in the future.....something SWA is looking at.....Something that SWA has planned.....

Not acquistions OF Horizon Airlines....Difference....Big difference...So, the title of the thread WN/FL!!! should just read, SWA - Going to buy someone....Maybe....Possibly.....If the situation is right......Nothing new.....
