Looking like a big pay raise (according to their contract) if we get implemented into their AMFA contract...Not sure how they're going to integrate the 400 or so mechanics at Airtran. I'll have 15 years invested in this Airline, and from the way I've been treated, I DONT CARE!!!! I would start at the bottom with Southwest, given the opportunity...Rumor control says they will keep the 80 or so Boeing 717's we have, hire even more mechanics, take on the Southwest paint schemes on all aircraft, and take those awful "airtran.com" letters off the top of the hangar. All upper management will be replaced, and there won't be a sign of Airtan ANYWHERE by the summer of 2011...I could'nt think of any better scenario that could happen to me and my career, the one I was contemplating ending just days ago...
