Man y’all really need to stop the whole AT fight thing. For the newer guys that weren’t here when that went down it gets nauseating. And it doesn’t help promote the pilot unity that we should be showing during negotiations. It’s time to let it go. We are all SWA pilots regardless of how we got here and we all benefit the exact same from the next contract we get it. Time to get our eyes on the prize and quit the squabble amongst ourselves in the name of chest thumping. Just my new guy opinion.

Amen
We are all on one team. Let’s not forget the 1221 the company wanted to kick to curb for a quick money grab from the pilots. I did not see WN threatening everyone at HQ with layoffs right before the holiday.
Wonder what festive gloom and doom letter we will get this year. I guess BJ will wait to see what the puppet master (GK) tells him to write.

Lets see how you feel if a legacy airline bought you and gave you a similar SLI that Airtran got. Even that would be too good, because at least the end result could be you eventually flying widebodies. As far as major airlines go, TWA/AA was the worst, and second place would be Airtran/SWA.

We may or may not buy, be bought, or merge with someone else in the future. We’ll have to cross that for-now hypothetical bridge when we come to it.
There is NOTHING any of us can do about whatever happened or didn’t happen to any of us in the AirTran deal. It’s in the past.
But right we now, we have a non-hypothetical bridge to cross: obtaining a “generational” ILC. That’s a battle we need to fight now.
Focus! Stop chasing after squirrels.
Or we all will find ourselves lagging for another contract cycle.

Closed NYC. Moved 2,200nm across the country to new base. Yeah, some windfall. And how am I lucky to “still have a job?” You DO know the offer from AS was 57/share and JetBlue was 55/share? If it wasn’t Alaska, it was gonna be JetBlue. Which, frankly, I’d have preferred to solidify a NYC presence with a similar A320fleet. I’m astounded by your arrogance. You fly clapped out 737s about 5 times a day for slightly more money. Get over yourself.
