Well, I'm so sorry to hear that you "lost" you lost 600 seniority numbers to AirTran pilots that have an older DOH. What a travesty. That is just so unfair to you. Whatever happened to "No SWAPA pilot harmed". (insert extreme sarcasm)
WRT to your comment about the only SWA pilots that haven't been Cptns being AirTran F/Os, that is completely incorrect. Our hiring standards were 500 hrs. Part 121 PIC or military equivelent because of our fairly quick upgrade time.
Your blue juice drinking mindset and attitude is shining through. You'll have to pardon the soon to be one quarter of your pilot group that isn't of the same frame of mind.
What's hilarious is how many times I've been threatened on this board that "I won't last at SWA" because of my attitude. What makes you think that I can't play the game well enough? If they fired everyone that is as POed as I am, they'd have to hire another thousand pilots just to handle the attrition. I know, I know, you're salivating at the thought.

On the other hand, please keep ****ing into the wind if that is what makes you happy. I hate to tell you, but who you are is not a secret.
Good luck.

A distraction?! It was hardly just a "distraction" for us pal. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as a two year F/O, did you not just get a big bump in relative seniority on the backs of half of our F/Os who got stapled?
I'm happy that for you it's just a "distraction". For a lot of us it's been an extremely stressful event and most of us haven't even begun to live with the downgrade/huge loss of seniority as only a small handful of our pilots have transitioned over.
Is the SWA culture gone? I don't know, but I do know that there's 1,735 pilots coming your way that aren't going to help things. I hope the rape was worth it. Enjoy!

If you don't want your job, quit. There are plenty of us regional guys/gals that would gladly take it, given the chance. No one here cares to hear your drivel any longer.

Yes, I would go to SWA if I was looking for a job and they offered. They probably wouldn't hire me though, because I don't have a 737 type and have no intention of buying one.
