Hey, I love 33 hour layovers...Dont mess with those...

PS. (only in beach cities, though)

To all of my L&G Bubbas. I apologize for venting so strongly here during the last couple of days. I am sure it is clear to all where I stand on the issues as they relate to ALPA. For me and maybe others, this SWA AT merger was to be a defining moment for my final position on ALPA. I honestly did not want it to go the way that it did and hoped ALPA would do something to help in the fairness department for AT. I have in the past had the same hopes for us in regard to scope.

My opinions and conclusions are mine and I am not trying to sway anyone. I am just a guy speaking my mind in as truthful a way as I can. If it got too inflammatory I'm sorry. Noone told me to write this, I just didnt want to be a downer on the thread.

Scambo1,

No worries. Keep posting. If some people get hurt we have backup (see below).

Ok, Call me a bit confused. You have a SLI proposal written by SW management that has not yet been approved by the AT MEC or the pilots who have to try and defend themselves with scope section written by the current DPA attorney and somehow ALPA has failed the AT guys?

I like long layovers as well. There is currently only one thing wrong with our 33 hr lay overs. We need to be paid for them....

I think that is called "calendar day". 5:15 per day, makes any 3 day worth 15:45, not those 11 hour 3 days with an allnighter attached.

Btw, heard from a friend out West that another certain LEC rep stated we should expect a 15% raise in the next contract. That's it pay rate wise. I trust the guy who told me too. He was very frustrated. If that is in the opener, then I predict the DPA will roll over them. Time for that contract survey, now!

+1, I agree! And all of those layovers need to be at a nice beach hotel!
