I'm of the opinion that NOTHING will convince you people that not all of us hit the lottery. Pulleeeez, get over yourselves and this often times silly airline.
So, when this contract passes and you get another 30% raise followed by another 35% raise when you upgrade again are you going to continue to cry me a river and tell me again how much you lost even though you are making 60% more than you did at AT before transition? Please also tell me how you were a senior captain that went to an mid level FO. All the senior captains were able to hold captain when they transitioned after Jan 1, 2015.
Let's also not forget that 80 percent of you list got anywhere from 30 to 50 percent pay raises when they transitioned. This is on top of the raises that you received after being purchased by SW.
The simple fact is that most AT will average over a MILLION more dollars at Southwest than they did at AT so please don't even go there with the "loss" that you may have temporarily received.
Plus just like Bwipilot said show us your pre purchase pay stub compared to now and I will forever sing your praises as the greatest Pilot ever to live if your Southwest pay is less than 25% of your pre merger AT pay.
