That's how ALPA works, start a lot of rumors but no action

Number of former AT Pilots at SWA - 80 plus
Number of former SWA pilots at AT - ZERO

Prior to the acquisition, a job at AT was a stepping stone to a better job and the associated benefits somewhere else.

You can't expect to move up to the varsity and expect to keep your same spot on the depth chart.

Speaking of depth charts, this is one of the shallowest posts I have ever seen. Seems as though your attitude belongs in the Little League.

And that would make you Alice Cooper??

Gary Kelly has the FOQA data from both pilot groups. Why don't you ask him if the data supports your position . . . . . you may be surprised.

If a career at AT was so equal to a career at SWA why was the average AT pilot making $60,000 less a year for doing the same exact job?

Not a student of history are you?

Ask United and Delta pilots where they were 10 years ago.

Ask US Air pilots where they were on the 80's and early 90's.

You don't know how your career is until you die.

Ask the 727 s/o I flew with who, in the 60's, left his new hire class at American to go to Braniff. (It was considered to be a no-brainer, smart move then.)

There was a UPS, a FedEx, and two SWA pilots in my new hire class @ Delta in 2001. That was the smart move back then too.

Hey NK,

I don't think you really know until you die......My DAL father-in-law lost his DB pension well after his retirement. Bankruptcy, the gift that keeps on giving.

The only thing that is certain in aviation is that things change. From you greasing every landing, to a pilot group having the best contract. Nothing lasts forever. All of us should check the attitude, because most of us are where we are because of luck -- good or bad.
