Southwest will now (Sept 4th, 2013) transition Airtran pilots out of seniority! The transition award has been officially thrown out the window (among a few other things). Some junior MCO pilots who were awarded TBA717 are now jumping over some of us who wanted to go, but are going just because they are based in MCO on the 737, and SWA doesn't want to train them on the 717 and send more senior pilots to training. Make sense? I thought so! - BCD
