SW management is carrying Chase's water for him. This will get VERY interesting come Sec. 6 time next fall.

"Frankly SWA and SWAPA, your behavior and treatment of us has turned into a despicable and sickening display. It's immoral. None of us feel the LUV anymore and many of us are starting to realize that we will always be "former AirTran" even after integration"
Given those strong emotions and beliefs, maybe you should consider tendering your resignation. No point in being miserable at work.

Nice try Oscar, but I will not post generic or specific expectations on a public forum. Not really a good negotiating strategy. How about I tell you that I expect to from XX% to XX% in a fair and equitable fashion.
Also, nice try on the identity thing. Allow me to share with the rest of our viewers what happened to a couple of our guys on the Flight Info board. They were rather outspoken about the insane expectations of SWAPA and it's pilots. Well, one or more of your coworkers were ingenious enough to find out these said individual's identities. Subsequently, they started receiving hate mail from your pilots naming them by name and threatening them about how they were going to be treated once on property. So naturally I will therefore refrain from providing your camp with anymore about information about my identity other than to perhaps say that my screename has nothing to do with masturbation.

First off I wasn't trying to find out who you are I was trying to understand where you thought you should be. So just as you claim that the SWA folks are trying to "steal" your seniority most that I talk to say you are trying to steal theirs. Without knowing some generic info I can't claim to understand your position.

Huge number of AirTran guys? I can count about 5-7, but then you're probably just trying to inflate it so that it appears that everybody bailed AirTran and went to SWA. Yeah, keep going. The arbitrators are reading this as we speak. I'm sure they'll be taking your point into account.
I can't count a single SWA guy who volutarily left here for AT.
I'm sure the numbers aren't 60-0, but I think you get the idea.

I've said this before to other Delta dudes but apparently it still bears repeating.

Don't forget to add the following along with your hollow thought from above. "I heard from an HR person over 500 AT pilots have applications on file with SWA, I wonder how many SWA pilots have apps with AT. ". Someone used that one on me to prove how much better of a pilot he was. Both translate the same.

I'm sure we can all fly a FABULOUS ILS to minimums
But while we're at it, are you actually disputing that the flow of pilots between the two companies isn't almost exclusively from AT TO SWA?

I don't dispute it at all, neither do you. So why openly ponder the thought of how many people left SWA for AT? I'll tell you it's probably zero and you know that from your quote above. It's all good.
