Before we jump on things here... has the AirTran MEC even approved this to go to a vote?

No. SWAPA has their side letter already. The final AirTran language isn't done.

SWAPA has G Kelly writing theirs, no surprise that they have it. I am sure ATI is looking for some sort of face saving surrender language. I wish them luck, hard to win when the deck is stacked.

BTW, while DPMA would gladly take our money, the bet was to go to the Delta Pilots Charitable Fund, not DPMA.


DPMA, DPCF, what's a couple of alphabet soups amongst colleagues.

On the other hand from talking to a couple of Airtran guys ATL is going to be really difficult for SW after management jumped into the SLI list and is using the gun to the head method to force ratification. The SW culture wont exist there for a very long time even if the list is ratified.

Even if things go poorly for SWA in ATL, I hope they act like things are going great and that they LUV you more than big bloated old Delta.

Because I think a turf war will inevitably require we clean up customer service and maybe start putting more money into the front line folks and that's good for us.

Otherwise without the trash talking SWA will bring, we will have status quo on our end.

For instance, how nice would it be if SWA handles IROPS in ATL better than we do and that becomes known? Then hopefully we will begin to make meaningful changes to our IROPS. That kind of stuff.

And if it's all a ruse on SWA's part, that's icing on the cake.

That's what I thought. Two things are going to be VERY interesting:

1. If the MEC even allows that travesty to go to a vote. (a good pay raise in exchange for throwing their pilot group's seniority under a monster truck)

2. If the MEC does allow it to go for a vote, whether or not they "promote" it.

scambo, I ALWAYS pay my bets; but you've offered zero evidence that "ALPA threw AirTran under the bus". If their MEC Chairman, or others on the MEC felt that ALPA National screwed them (purportedly to gain favor with SWAPA), I'll gladly pay up.

As it is, you are standing on the outside, with your preconceived version of what was fair, and this integration didn't achieve it. Frankly, it didn't for me either. But you and I are both on the outside, we don't get a vote nor even input.

So, to say ALPA National through them under the bus --- nope. Absent evidence, I think it is YOU that owes the $100.

Okay, I see how you want to play this.

We were in agreement on what was fair...privately. We both agree that it was not what we thought would be "fair."

Can someone post the Air Tran merger fragementation language again?

If it wasn't followed, ALPA did some screwin'.

Absolutely! That clearly proves we can have SWA pay and scope and significant profit sharing, as does SWA. <---undeniable.

Was one of the recommendations to the scheduling team have anything to do with modifying the RAW system? I as just wondering why we can't have a sort of rolling RAW system that doesn't reset at the beginning of the month. Going back to 0 on day one without a spill over can kick ya in the nards.

Crew resources and scheduling... center of the page toward the top.

There are also lists posted in both ATL pilot lounges.
