What are your company traditions?

So, is this just going to become another thread to bitch about what is wrong at your airlines wrapped up in the joke about those being traditions?

Certainly more companies aside from JetBlue and United, as cited in the thread so far (and Todd's driveby mention that SWA, too, has some tradition with a bowling ball), have these kinds of company traditions?

How about traditions for first flights as Captains, or on retirement flights?
 
ATNPilot, I've gotten the story from a couple other AAI guys that I know. I'd say I have a good knowledge of their plight and situation at hand. It is unfortunate and your ALPA leadership at AAI had a share of the blame too.
 
Esprit De Corps is none existed in the regional 121 realm. Mainlines, so I hear, do an awesome job at properly indoctrinating new members of the "cult."

So, yeah...I'm fine calling all the ridiculous things Crew Support, Flight Ops, or Human Resource teams at my company do on a regular basis as...wait for it...traditions.

Clueless about what? Fact: SLI method #1 was turned down by the AAI merger SLI committee without sending out the method #1 to the pilot group for vote. Then the threat of non-integration came and method #2 was basically forced "at gunpoint."

No offense, but to you, anything I write will always be labeled as "completely clueless" and "you don't know what you are talking about."
 
Bottom line is he's bitter, and quitting SWA altogether "soon." I do wish him best, I always got the feeling that he became an airline pilot for all the wrong reasons and his real career was union work. Now that he reached the epitome of what he could obtain, only to watch his airline become non-ALPA and therefore lose his position, he's better off quitting. Being recalled as a VP Chair and the bad blood involved with AAI ALPA and SWAPA probably ensures he won't get a SWAPA position as high as he held with AAI. Good luck sir, though I still think given your age you're crazy to throw away a potential $5-6 million career at Southwest.
