70F and sunny, no humidity, no mosquitoes. Eat your heart out.

 

You mean like the great culture at DAL where each CA does things their own way, where the "mission" is the most important thing, and where females aren't exactly embraced?

Sounds like a blast to me.

 

In all seriousness, what the hell are you talking about?

 

whackmaster,
you need to get you a hummer and i don't mean the kind with 4 tires...just sayin!

 

I can't remember who did it but someone in this thread or another SWA/AT did a brilliant comparison of the AT CA vs SWA FO pay. You should probably check it out, it might give you the hope that you don't seem to have. Yes you might be losing some seniority but people on both sides lost something and potentially gained something. If you're sitting as a relatively senior 737 FO with SWA pay, then it seems to me that your QOL would improve thus giving you the options to earn just as much if not more than you would've as an AT CA.

Not trying to stir the pot even more but I have always wondered (this isn't directed to you specifically),what is so important about keeping a captain seat? If QOL and pay could increase, what's the problem? What are really all the drawbacks of sitting on the right side? One wouldn't make as much as a SWA CA but might make just as much if not more as a SWA 737 FO than as a senior CA at AT. An FO doesn't call the shots. An FO wouldn't have 4 stripes. The ego is vanished (which isn't a bad thing).

The trip rigs are great thus helping make them more efficient, the per diem is higher, and the variety of domestic flying seems great. I fail to see the problem if in the long run, an FO will be CA (for the first time or again)

 

Dude, its done! The list has been created and voted on (whether it was forced upon or not). Can we finally move past this and look forward to the integration? In the end, I'm sure that there are thousands of applications sitting in an office somewhere.

 

Well getting to vote on AIP1 would have really helped that huh?

 

your're probably one of the "majority spoke" crowd from AIP1?

 

That would make you one of the; "sit on your hands, suck your thumb and hope for the best" crowd.

 

well, thanks for the much more childish, and personally offensive post. The quote of the "majority spoke" was a battle cry of the bullies who prevented a vote simply because they knew it would pass and like a group of juntas---thwarted the effort of democracy. It is amusing in the end they were proven to NOT be in the majority, but like most bullies, were able to "puff up" to more than they are.
