The petition to let us vote is gaining steam:
Anyone paying attention can plainly see that the AirTran MEC and our pilot group have ONE more chance to get this integration done: the Southwest proposed Integrated Seniority List received last week.
Reality check: Herb proposed it. There is no one else to turn to. All of Southwest is behind a negotiated ISL.
Our status reps are meeting RIGHT NOW and there are only two choices:
a) Give up on any attempt to negotiate a solutions.
b) Put the Merger Committee back in play, complete the work on the proposal and let the pilots vote.
Make your voice heard this time! ATNMEC@alpa.org
For me personally this is about the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to get to Southwest Airlines. There is not a soul here who doesn't recognize the opportunity this represents.
I don't know what threats were made or what will happen if we go to arbitration, but I do know that almost any list is better than staying AirTran.
We shouldn't base our decision on shat kind of lawsuits we can file vs what we fear might happen. Who wants to be a "Tranny who sued his way to Southwest"?
Instead, let's recognize the opportunity staring us in the face: the chance to be a Southwest pilots. I want to vote and my vote is INTEGRATION!
