Please explain. I was here for the last contract when PJ and company came out with TA1 and touted our huge improvements. They then went on a road show and told us that was what we were getting and nothing more.

I was ready to quit this place if it passed. Glad it didn't.

Since then the company has stonewalled, obfuscated, and furloughed. The pilots here aren't feeling the LUV anymore, I can assure you, and neither is SWAPA.

What about SL9 dealing with AT, and before that the age 65 debate. SWAPA actually came out with a flow chart trying to explain that no FO's upgrades would be delayed by age 65. I still have the chart! It was all smoke and mirrors. There have been dozens of Ex SWAPA reps and former Presidents who have gone and worked for the company against this pilot group, the most recent was Carl, but there were others before him. And I can bet you a dollar to a donut our current President and some of his minions will be next.

I'll bet a dollar and a donut that you're wrong.

Agreed, SWAPA 1.0 sucked. This pilot group is not the same one that I got hired here with. No more Aw shucks, don't tell Herb I would do this job for free mentality.

Why do you think that's not possible? You think they can't be bought? I sincerely doubt that's true. Everyone has a price.


Looks like the quote feature is snarled up.... Just a heads up..

If you can pick up premium any day of the week you want, get your choice of line/vacation…why bother with a multiple time zone commute (for 6 bid periods) for a few extra bucks? Wait until you can upgrade closer to home or get off rsv if you commute.

I’m betting the bids will stay Junior until Fall and then bypassers will take the fall/winter spots. 2015 hires prob be upgrading next summer if they want.

Now you’re talking! I’m almost finished with my first bottle of Doc Swinson’s cognac barrel whiskey. Mighty nice I may add!
