Nope. Just interested. There’s more going on than what’s being said...

Come on Southwest. Do it. I dare you. You ain't scared, is ya?

Only if you agree to get Morrised... ;)

Attachment 3545

Flew with a guy here at SWA about a year ago that was pretty well connected down in Dallas with the execs. He claimed to have been operating a flight into CLT and as the pax were deplaning, he noticed one of his exec friends. When he asked him why he was going to CLT, the guy’s response was, “Well, I can’t tell you much but it’s to talk to AMR about exchanging OUR Airbuses for their 737s”.

This was about a year ago so maybe there has been something in the works for a while. Time will tell....

Not sure where you got your info but they were not "stapled". I was at SWA 5 years before the acquisition and I have many, many AT guys ahead of me now. Those guys got a great deal, although some will never admit it. 40% more pay - and that was before the current contract, better rules, vacation, retirement etc. Check your facts next time.

Over half of our FOs got stapled and all of our Cptns got downgraded. In my case that lead to a 20-25% cut in takehome pay. “Great deal”, huh? GMAFB

I think it’s you that needs to check your facts, pal.

Sorry, you guys signed a pay increase after the acquisition was announced. Never would have happened without it. Your CEO said as much- he even said the airline wouldn't have survived. So if you want to compare apples to apples, your captain rates were very close to our top FO rates. So no, not a pay cut. This is not to mention the new contract. You said basically all were stapled, was that accurate ? Ask the SW guys who were displaced out of MCO if you were all "basically" stapled.
You do remember the far better deal that you guys rejected - right ?

I get tired of the Air Tran wine. You guys are FAR better off now. So just stop.

Wow. Just wow...... I’m so not even going to get into it with you. You’re truly out to lunch.

If I have to take that in exchange for 100% scope, no redeyes, and increased pay/benefits, I'll sign that deal tomorrow.
