They were protecting their own during this process from the CEO on down,a rare thing these days. I wouldnt be judging them too harshly, some of the Widget folk on these ,and especially other boards ,do not exactly shed a shining light on DALNWA, and I happen to think that you boys have the best old school legacy going. end of rave.
727,
I don't think that the people on these boards represent a majority view of the SWA pilots. I've got three close friends who are pilots for SWA and know one of the chief pilots pretty well. I haven't spoken with them about the proposed F9 merger, but I guarantee you, they would not have been saying the things some have said on here.
No pilot group is perfect and I mentioned previously that the DAL/NWA merger wasn't pretty. We still have flare-ups. But, telling another pilots wife she needs to go work as a bar maid; challenging the entire aviation industry to a duel, and complaining that said industry was responsible for their tough negotiations, were not among the things I witnessed with the NWA/DAL merger. We fought amongst ourselves.
Oh, and we didn't post porn.
It's almost like some of these guys are having a meltdown from the revelation that some might not want to be on the bottom of their list.
But, I know the vast majority of SWA pilots are NOT like this. My post is only directed to those who are....
