Delta's New 717

[derg]

Funny, since the Tex-ass overlords you speak of are the "Official Airline" of every sport that airs on cable and have their logo somewhere in most teams stadiums. Go figure.

Except for "Pog" and "Flip Cup".

 

[derg]

You're quick, Derg.

Just my mid-morning "checksum"!

Wonder how many A-nutters are gonna bid the 717 in virtual Delta Airlines?

 

[Kingairer]

Oh SW , you're so whimsical.

 

[Maximilian_Jenius]

More nonsense from the evil Tex-ass overlords. They didn't want to renew the deals with those teams, so they painted over the special liveries.

Are you on the 737 yet?

Nope, and never will be.

What. The. %^&*.

"We're FUN! Look! I'm in the SIDA but nevermind those pesky SIDA rules!"

No, it's a DUCK, not %^&*....

There is always barber college!!

Why will you never be on the 737, ATN? Serious question!

Planning to resign my seniority number, possibly by the end of the year, but definitely before the transition.

 

[BobDDuck]

Yeah, we couldn't figure it out, either. Best theory we have is that those teams wouldn't pay SWA what they demanded, but who knows.

Most airlines that have a sports team themed livery actually pay the team for the right to paint up the plane real special like.

Pretty sure we weren't doing that.

I'm sorry, who do work for? And, why would you do that!
Forgive me bro, I'm just asking because I don't fully understand how this industry works with you pilots and bidding different equipment!

I work for AirTran, in the process of merging with SWA. I'm voluntarily leaving because our seniority integration was so atrocious that I would spend the next decade commuting to the west coast, and I wouldn't upgrade for 20 years. Lots of our pilots are looking at leaving. Some already have.

 

[derg]

Any interest in a large ATL-based carrier?

Ah

Ah, gotcha! Makes sense now! I've heard that the merger and the seniority between you guys was a nightmare, (which I assume is the case with all these mergers since '95), and usually ends up a real mess. Is it a favoritism type situation, or is it strictly followed by seniority or your, "numbers"?

I'm sorry this is going on. Really hope there are plenty of great opportunities that lie ahead for you and the rest suffering the same fate.
