Yup. i wonder how quickly we could get an appreciable number of Embraer E2s up and running?

Your close enough to retirement it won’t be a big deal. But SWA is going to shrink as the legacies show SWA how it is done 😉

Delta cut hiring and laid off office workers. Is that how it’s done?

Let’s go, B6+WN, fleet diversification away from Boeing only…Europe ETOPS and premium product (MINT) + WN Hawaii, it’s all goodness😀. Could WN actually merge with an Airbus company?? Maybe to compete with Big 3 and go premium, it’s time to get away from LCC only customers😀! WN in Lie Flat Seats East & West!

You have no idea what you’re talking about. They trimmed some management fat and we’re hiring 1,000+ more pilots this year alone.

Go back to polishing your shoes and wearing your Delta hat to bed.

Should be done here. Get rid of 10 -15 percent of HQ on Friday. The stock would go up and this place would not miss a beat.

They could have paid us more with the contract. Now they will want us to work more to make less. They can put a spin on anything.

Do you ever hear yourself?
