I can see someone has lots of extra time on their hands. The picture is obviously a fake.......no registration number or anything. :down:

HUm!!! The way the Mid Atlantic airline s set up HOW IS THIS NOT A SINGLE CARRIER!!!!

I would like to clarify some points with regards to contract maintenance. First, i would like to say that to make the statement that "all contract maintenance is unsafe" is ludicrous. But on the other hand it is just as ludicrous to say that contract maintenance is as safe as the in house...

When corporate America needs me to send my son to fight...I'll just tell then why not get those guys in India go ....after all it is they who benefit from "the American dream" :ph34r:

Its never manegements fault. Check to see the salaries these "experts" are drawing. Compare them to Southwes or JetBlue or any LCC...or even AMR, NW!! Now we have JUly deadline!!! Good way to kill summer bookings!! Don't male anymore threats Bronner...pull the plug!!!!! Then we can move on.

Typical of this outfit to put RJs in the SRQ run, they were fillin a 737-300!!! The market is there and SRQ fares arent cheap at all!!! As a mainline employee when I hear news of RJs or Express expansion my feelings are the asme as if is another carrier...might as well be Delta or...

Southwest mechanics complain about that rate???? Alot of carriers are much much more. Out of curiosity...how many mechanics do you guys have currently at Southwest? I am a USairways mechanic. Th robber barons tell us you have around 1500 mechanics and you pay "alot" for benefits. From what I can...

A question to WN aircraft mechanics.........how much do you guys pay for your medical? Comparing differnt carriers. Thanks :)

I voted yes on both counts in the past. Looking back, if it was a right or wrong choice all I can say is...it got us to today. I firmly believe that sometimes the best way to win "the war" is to run away and live to fight another day!!! I have no problem with a 'NO' vote by my fellow IAM...

A321 issue is not an excuse. What .....can't somebeody figure out that we should use a 757!!!!!!! And Saturday only service???? That means you can only fly USairways if you plan on stayin a week in LAS or if you want to connect on the way back!!! You know what most people I know say when you say...

labor is the highest cost in any company and that's were Dave has to look again!! Where do you get the your information? Whe it comes to Labor.....Southwest has only a few more employees per aircraft then U and we have larger aircraft!! Also we do alot of things inhouse that LUV does not like...

[SIZE=7]All the small minded individuals that keep sayin get rid of the union..........look around. IS SOUTHWEST UNION???? How come they can make a profit. Check their contracts....their total compensation packages are more than U. And although they have a few less people (not much difference)...

CaptBud, Here is the flaw in Dave's manpower plans and the explanation to why there are SOME who do not give it 100% each day. Manpower is cut to reduce expenses....employees work harder to make up the diffirence......Dave cuts further.......employees work harder yet...............Dave says...

With regard to the post by WineyBob, oh my opoligies PineyBob. Why does anyone even ackowlege his posts? They are not even worthy of reading. He is obviosly a managent stooge. The one thing I have learned in my 23 years with the airlines is that you should never badmouth another employee group...

NO MORE GIVING!!! Let the highly overcompensated management do its job. Other the cutting employee compensation and workrule changes, can you name anything this management has done to change this airline so that it can compete? Express is not the answer! The yield on those airplanes is quite...
