Who's opinions are getting deleted? I challenge you to show anyone an example of either side getting deleted on here.

You mean like "If one AirTran captain keeps his seat over one SWA FO there will be a mutiny?"

Talk like that gets you lumped into the AWA/AAA fiasco.

You deleted my AVATAR and still haven't given me rights to put up a new one. There is an example of something getting deleted!

Thanks.

Shut the hell up. Nobody wants your opinion.

Now, on a different subject.

SWA sucks.


ohh, relax...I'm joking. You should know better then to cry in front of other pilots though. Poor SA.

Well perhaps my memory is failing me, so would you kindly repost anything that I've posted with regards to SPECIFIC expectations?

Whack, you and RCD73 may have the best of intentions by asking me to qwell my questions, but it seems you two are most vehement when others opinions don't match your own expectations of what you believe you deserve. While both of you are jumping on me for discussing carreer expectations, you two have made your own expectations quite clear through your own posts.

I believe you have every right to do so but please don't jump me for asking a couple of questions.
Could you please repost for us anything SPECIFIC that I've written with regards to SLI expectations? Funny, I can't remember doing anything like that.

Like I said, windfalls are not a problem unless they come at the expense of the other group. In a pure percentage merger, a 10% AAI captain and a 10% SWA both keep their same relative seniority, so where is the windfall for the AAI guy?

If you paste the senior AAI guy behind however many SWA guys, they gain lots of relative seniority at the expense of the AAI guy - he no longer gets his 1st choice of line, vacation, domicile, etc. That's windfall for the SWA guys at the expense of the AAI guys.

Since Airtran pilots are on average about 8 years younger than SWA pilots, relative seniority turns out to be a huge roadblock to SWA pilot seniority over the long run.

It's not just a windfall for them, it will cost SWA pilots seniority over time.

I urge you to read the very first post in this thread over again.
