SWA welcome packet????
 
Has anyone seen the SWA welcome packet that is online. I have it downloaded but can't attach it here... We all need to read it and compare... UAL - CAL -- where are we compared to these guys... Not even close...:mad::

It's already posted in the majors forum. You just need to weed through a lot of the Delta stuff.

Edit: Here's the link to the welcome package.

The UAL welcome packet was a jar of vaseline, broken glass, and some rubbing alcohol.

CAL's--a baggie with a set of wings and FO rank.

We didn't even get wings, they were out... and the picture id was a transfer from the old express photos...

Would you rather the SWA rates, rules, etc be low? It should give you solid negotiating leverage. The SWA welcome packet should be a good thing.

Your Management should be saying, "Holy SH1T!"

That's what I believe Hotwings point is: he's "mad" that his company isn't putting forward the same foot as SWA.

I think that we should at least match the SWA LUV! We should all be ****ed at our current situation and I hope that everyone will UNITE over this and get the contract we deserve! I do not think that anywhere in my post did it mention that I wanted SWA's rates etc. be low...? WTH? The package is a GREAT thing from SWA... Hello????? come in...:confused:

At UAL...in 1999 when things were a whole lot better we got: Wings, Ceremony at DIA in front of big Jepp, a welcome party and the wives were wined and dined for three days. The best welcome I have had in 5 airlines.

TWELVE years and TWO furloughs later, things have really changed.

I want to come back when things improve. SCOPE. Meanwhile, I will enjoy flying Monday through Friday, home every night, weekends off, paid holidays off and summer vacations. I'm not bitter, I'm blessed..
