Keep doing that and you won't be around long enough to see DPA come to fruition. Thanks for seniority number!!!!

After reading Dickson's upbeat email today, can we expect another AE soon?

Nice job! How old are you?

Just because you want to waste time and gas doesn't mean the rest of us want to. I'm not SWA and I like to taxi faster than a slow walk.

It's sad to see a group of grown men engage in such catty behavior, all over jealously and envy. Channel that anger into your negotiators, and you might actually get a contract you can be proud of. Or there's the alternative: what your doing now.

Grow up.

Maybe we ought to review the anti-Delta pilot posting history of yours. You're not one of the guys that failed flow are you?

Glass houses and all.

YOU??-->Taxi faster than a slow walk??? You are breaking some reg. someplace, I guarantee it. Are you whistleblowing on yourself?

Grow up? He is, he takes his time and is not in a RUSH. I would much rather be a passenger on an airplane where the pilots take their time. Besides, he is right, the aviation world does not sync their watches to SWA time (those dudes taxi way too fast and are always in a rush).

Or you could grow up and stop being judge-mental on something you know nothing about. Taxiing slower and SE saves gas, both things SWA don't do. As far as the 'jealously & envy' go there isn't any of that. I had every opportunity to apply to SWA and didn't. Stop assuming everyone is envious of SWA, & stop lashing out at everyone who dare insults your almighty SWA.

Talk about being childish. Pot, meet kettle.

Welcome to ATL. I am on the South side and about as far South as you can get and still be considered local!

They do use the SC pilots a lot more in ATL than other bases. We are that proverbial accumulator.
