As sept 5th 2013, The 717s will be parked before 2015. Thats according to the letter from SW to the DOT. I don't like it either.

I like it as long as they don't furlough. Should only be about 300 pilots or so. Hopefully I won't experience my 3'rd furlough in the last 8 years.

Didn't you hear? South west doesn't furlough. You'll be fine.

They haven't yet. Always a first, though. They would have to furlough pretty deep to get to any AT pilots...

Do you need pictures?

Best wishes to all the AirTran folks.

I guess the merger looked good on paper.....

All the new hires at SWA would be furloughed before any pilot who was at AirTran at the time that SWA announced that they were buying them. However I firmly believe that Gary doesn't want to destroy Herb's legacy by being the first SWA to actually furlough.

The ego hit is what sucks... the pay will make wives happy.... especially when dude is on trips.... looks like ValueJet wives just moved up from Value City to Macy's.

And the opposite is true for the captains wives. From talking to a few friends who already transitioned, I'm looking at around a $40K hit.
