When AT pilots are able to bid over to the 737 do you think the 717 FO slots are going to go senior or junior?

Most of what you're reading here is angry DAL pilots who are career spectators and a few AT dudes and a few people who are pretending to be people they're not.

There ya go. Good comeback. I'll be happy if this goes to arbitration if you're really curious about what would make me happy.

How exactly do you start a DFR suit against a union that does not yet represent you? AAI guys are not represented by SWAPA until they make the jump to SWA. If you seriously believe that SWAPA will attempt to bargain different deals for ex-AAI guys once they make the switch, you are seriously deluded. Plese understand that as soon as you decide to make the switch from AirTran to SWA, SWAPA will indeed represent your interests to the best of their abilities.

There is a difference between being angry and remaining civil. I am not happy with the deal at all, but it is what it is. If it passes the vote, then I will put it behind me and be the very best SWA pilot I can be. If it goes to arbitration, then I will await the outcome and then be the very best SWA pilot I can be.
I won't let something completely out of my control (other than my 1 measly vote) affect my attitude or my work ethic.
