Lol my statement was ignorant? You’re not happy there at SWA?

CBreezy

really just depends on when you are hired. If you're 40 today and get hired, your seniority will be DL 37%, UA, 32% and AA 27%>

35: 16, 16, 10.

Obviously it's not the front end of the wave seniority progression but it's not like you're going to be the plug for 7 years followed by plug upgrade at 22 years of service.

The lines are pretty linear at that point with a decrease in final seniority percentage of 2-3% per year. So 30 year olds will see approximately 10% and 25 year olds will probably be double digit seniority numbers at retirement.

WHACKMASTER

To insinuate that “retirement lists don’t matter” is indeed an ignorant statement. What does my level of happiness at SWA have to do with anything?

Your happiness at Southwest would be a sounding board. That’s what this website is for those inside vs outside the money circles.

They’re not happy until you’re not happy?

Nick is a 5%er at Delta. You know, the folks that cause us to be known as arrogant, egotistical with a stick up our butts.

He doesn’t represent the “new” Delta. His attitude will be dead soon…just glad it didn’t get extended another 2 years.

His mailbox in Peach Tree City probably reads “Captain ________”.

Bye Bye Nick…bless your heart.

That’s what you got out of that? Also yea I asked since you’re talking down someone else’s employer for some reason. Maybe you’re not currently happy with yourself.

"Thanks Gary. Thanks SWAPA", HMM? But somehow it's Gary and SWAPA fault? Interesting ALPA's the one who threw you under the bus was it not? You were going to be fenced in ATL for 10 years, get to keep all your Captain Seats, and get all the upgrades for like 3 years and they were goint to keep the 717 and make TPA base. ALPA said no! So you did not even get to you vote on it, and then you guys filed law suit against ALPA.

You quoted the wrong person numbnuts, but anyway….you have zero clue about what happened. If that’s your interpretation of the events that went down then you’re grossly off base. Next…

The quote is right there under your profile is it not? Right under your profile name. So your saying ALPA MEC let AT pilots vote on SL9?

This right from court records. So the court has zero clue what went down as well?

"The AirTran pilots in attendance expressed differing views about Integration Agreement 1. MEC members Christine Janning, Jeffrey Mertens, and James Sullivan testified that the weight of pilot sentiment was against the deal; other MEC members testified that the pilots' views varied widely. It is undisputed that a number of the MEC members themselves remained conflicted about the correct decision right up until the formal vote. When the formal vote occurred, MEC members voted 7 to 1 to reject Integration Agreement 1.

Because the MEC members rejected Integration Agreement 1, in keeping with the Process Agreement, it never was submitted to the AirTran pilots for a ratification vote. Instead, the AirTran Merger Committee went back to the drawing board with the Southwest Merger Committee."

Thus SL10 was born, and what you and others voted on and agreed to, was it not?
