No...McCaskill-Bond will apply to the letter. But immediately after the seniority integration, SWA will demand that AirTran pilots divest themselves of their slots on the seniority list to SWA pilots...just to make things fair. :D

I know a lot of you are thinking this, I am just the one who said it:eek:

Most of our complaining is about how bad things are here operationally and going backwards in technology etc.etc.etc. Why don't you take some of our suggestions, ( not complaining) serious because we want it to be better. You seem to be happy with status quoe and don't want to look at maybe a better way. Keep your head in the sand. Exactly pray tell, what I can do. Keep my mouth shut when I have seen both operations and possibly see a better way, but no it is complaining. You are way off base here. I can tell you this one thing tough. Coming into the DELTA family made me realize how good we had it at NWA. With that said I have learned to just shut my mouth and be a little drummer boy pilot marching to the DELTA tune and do not question anything especially if you are fNWA, it could only be complaining. Now I am just the one who said that.:D

That being said, we definitely need to come together and go against the REAL enemy which is SWA.

No dude SWA is not the real enemy, your attitude is. You make this intemperate post as if you are only speaking the truth. And despite your peers telling you gently to stop, you not only continue but ratchet up the nonsense.

I worry that your attitude about how this or that group raided this or that shows in how you treat our customers. This attitude of yours is far more a concern than competing with SWA.

To the rest of the guys on the forum please take no offense, it was not meant to be a slam on the south side. I don't know any fNWA guys who don't want the airline to be the best and kick axx!!

The family's in a meeting, and we're in no mood for nonsense.

We've got a varmit problem.

Varmint? Where?

I'm at a loss here. I am in complete agreement with Carl!

Nice post.

Don't minimize those pizza parties for ATC. Don't be surprised to see the same preferential ATC handling come to ATL. I don't know how they (SWA) do it...but they do it.
