It is still going to hard to get that SWA Spirit knowing that I'm furlough fodder for 3 years. Oh, I will be getting B scale pay for those same years...so I got that going for me.

It's been said before, but I'll say it again. It's not a b-scale. There will be no one in 'your' seat on the 717 making more than you.

Airtran guy here -- FWIW, there is a difference between the % the SLI passed and whether that means 83% are "happy" with it. The majority of the AT folks I have spoken with think it was a very unfair deal for us, but our options were limited to:
1. Vote "yes" and keep your job
2. Vote "no" and be out of a job in a couple years as Airtran winds down, and maybe in 10 years after the court cases were resolved you might get your job back. Maybe.
My perspective is, the SLI process is over. I am putting it behind me and moving forward, with my positive attitude intact, ready to do the best job I can as a Southwest pilot.
I'm looking forward to getting integration completed and moving on with life without looking back.
And, to the Southwest pilots welcoming us aboard ... thanks! I'm looking forward to flying with you.

Somehow I doubt that he meant it and I bet there are a lot of the 80+%'s that would agree with this thinking.
