Using your argument, what if MGT grows AAI and all future Hires get hired on the AAI list.
Cheaper labor costs from the separate contract and list.
Lets say this goes on for the next 3 years while all this gets ironed out in Arbitration...(could be longer if you use the USAir/AMwest model).
How would that work for the JR SWA Pilots?
Relax, I have No dog in your fight. Just be careful what you wish for.
A Joint SLI worked out by both SWA/AAI merger committees is in both sides best interest. My money is it will be settled in Arbitration.
Good luck to all.
I said all new growth on the WN side, I know that won't happen, the days of the transtar/morris purchase are just a dream. I just wish I could get a huge pay raise and still hold my current seniority like the AAI guys want. I just get to keep my seniority, my current pay, delay my upgrade even more, and fly to ATL and some other hot spots, that I could care less about flying to. While some guys who didn't have to buy a type, didn't have to wait out at a regional to get over 1000 hours pic, and didn't have to interview move ahead of me. I guess I'm just jealous. Because with out Airtran, SWA would have never been able to grow or fly out of Texas.
