Briefly. I have been an avid reader of this forum for over 10 years. I never posted. I then discovered a couple of years ago (my simple mind and age) you must join to post when I wanted to respond to something. For all I know, that post is probably still available. I do have friends who worked for both airlines. I saw how a couple of the AAI posters have been ganged up or dog piled on this site. I have been privy to a lot of information. When your in the industry you hear it everywhere. The JS, the hotel van, the hotel bar, the lobby at the soccer game with your kids or grand kids and it is the same over and over from the SWA side.
I stated earlier what the straw was for me personally. It is time to put out facts to hopefully educate the ones who are sincerely interested. Maybe then, the next time a SWA F/A or SWA pilot running off with the inaccurate information somewhere - someone will ask them about it. Maybe, which I doubt seriously, some will become aware and change their tune.
1. No sh!t, Sherlock. Now, apply the same to yourself. You're being a troll by starting multiple threads covering the same subject. That's a forum foul and I'm surprised that the mods haven't stepped in and quashed this garbage yet.
2) I didn't ask for your identity. I asked who your employer is. Why? I'm trying to determine if you're simply JetBlue captain crazy or Germanwings fo crazy. I think you're an AirTran pilot (notice the 2010 join date) who has another ID on this board that's ~10 years old where it's obvious that you're former AirTran. You created this ID due to your frustration with the acquisition. That makes you only JetBlue crazy.
IF you've never flown for either Southwest or AirTran, you, sir, are Germanwings crazy.
3) Your 'motivation' is a façade to reopen the subject to denigrate Southwest employees. That's become very transparent in your posts.
I love your feinting ignorance in the registration requirement in order to post. No, you have posted in painful detail many aspects of the SLI so you're not going to be able to pull off being too stupid to know that you have to register to post here. Not at all believable.
No, pilots don't hear about this over and over and over again unless they fly for Southwest. So I can only conclude that you're former AirTran who wants to make people believe otherwise. Newsflash: very few people care about this anymore.

The greatest contribution that I could possibly make is to get you to stop creating new threads daily on the same worn out subject. I will almost certainly fail.
My opinion is that we are freaking pawns in the airline business and rehashing perceived 'injustices' from acquisitions helps no one.
As far as the Southwest/AirTran acquisition, I think that the AirTran pilots benefitted most from the acquisition. I am willing (unlike you) to state that my employer is United.
This post succinctly describes the acquisition:

Life's not fair, and the airline industry definitely isn't fair.
Bottom line: if you want to continue making an *** of yourself, have a nut. Create a new thread daily on the subject. With each new thread, the views and responses will continue to decline. Until you're posting to yourself.
