I also expect swa's scope. Ok, strong movement toward it.
I think that the only way that you're going to see that is if you put in an application. I hear that the window will be opening again, soon.

Cripes, you guys need your own private board. How can you expect to negotiate a contract when you don't even have a freaking private forum??????????

Despite your obvious flame, after flying a blissful 5000+ hours in SWA's super-premium-narrowbody-life sentance, I have graduated from the joys of domestic aviation and the ever so exciting search for another rock bottom. Never to return. Is that really all you 've got. updownupdownupdownupdownflynakedcomparewatches.

I wouldn't trade places with your number 1 captain. not that there's any difference between the number 1 and the number 200... but up and down.. up and down... repeat for 30 years ain't my cup of tea. Speaking of which... Anybody been to the Brown Door in Beijing? Great tea there.. and the beer is pretty cheap too.

Well first of all, you spelled sentence wrong. 2nd of all, I don't know of anybody that spent 6 years at SWA to depart to Delta unless they got fired, then I doubt that Delta would take you. You would have had to be in the left seat by the time you left SWA, so the financial loss that you would have experienced over the last years would have been staggering. If that's the case, by all means tell me your story.

What's so great about it - that you can afford a beer?

(I know that the money thing gets you going)

That's awesome. I'm happy for you.

Meanwhile, I still have a Florida House with all that entails. Paying it down as quickly as possible.

You'll be happy for me, too because I'm sitting in left seat in June.

Ok, I'll bite.

Hows the upgrade time looking over there now Plenty of retirements to make up for that lack of growth? I guess you can staple all the AirTran guys that you're merging with... that'll help your upgrade time! Wait.. I wonder of the arbiter is going to go along with that? I guess you can enjoy flying right seat with a WN reject, right?

I gotta agree with that. Domestic 737 trips are OK but flying the heavy jets over the big water is an experience I would not want to have missed in my career. The Asian cities are incredibly interesting but for pure enjoyment -- the summer layovers in Germany and Italy are truly superb.
