Looks as though our FA’s are approved to wear Teal(Frontier Green) on their uniforms. The company has also been introducing this in their advertising. What do you make of it? Teal doesn’t exactly go with Black and Yellow. We may have a marriage coming.

Having just read the latest quarterly SWA Flight Ops update/newsletter, our VP of Flt Ops mentioned you guys specifically (increased competition in our hubs such as BWI, depressing yields, going after our customers, yada yada yada).

This is just like reading the chapters leading up to the AirTran acquisition. They were worried about being able to compete with us and you guys know how that story played out. I just hope they treat you guys better. Try not to laugh too hard when during SLI talks they propose putting all of you (including your most senior Cptn) on probation. I $h!t you not......

With all due respect?! Hahaha! I AM an AirTran guy and completely agree with you. There’s a reason for the term “getting AirTraned”.

No offense taken amigo. Just trying to enlighten you on their thought process should an acquisition be announced.

probably not a bad idea considering some of our guys have outstanding warrants for things like not paying alimony and felony assault.
