Thanks guys for the great party. Now its over.

So is your cross-country, now close your flight plan and hangar the 172.

We just wanted to have a party with you guys. We wanted to celebrate SWA's "Lowering of the Bar".

Thanks guys for the great party. Now its over.

And paying money to fly a 1900 around is not lowering the bar? I guess it's all worth it though because you get to wear a hat and a real set of wings like those two turds in FLL I saw last week.

Lowecur, Megadeth and The_Russian on one thread. All we need is Instructordude and we have the 4 posters of the Apocalypse.

I don't believe in the apocalypse at SWA. I would be a little concerned about your growth though. Too quick can kill. What if those planes aren't full? It is a good question to ask along with employee costs. No flame intended, just debate.

BTW, The other three posters you mentioned have a little too much estrogen going on.

Well, a lot of the tried to go to SWA with their bull$hit "preferential interview".....how many were hired? Two ATA pilots?

There have actually been quite a few ex-ATA'ers hired. But if you think it was around 2, that's cool.

Its not. Who bought your type rating in the 737?

How come everyone brings up GAA when I chime in? Do you think mentioning my career path proves your point?

Well guess what?

It doesn't. It has nothing to do with the thread. And, you are just using it to distract from the fact that you have no argument. None of you even know if I paid a dime in the first place.

BTW, if you are going to call GIA PFT (which it isnt). Then, you have to call SWA PFT also.

Your career path is relevant because you work for a little pay to fly commuter airline yet you are on here bashing Southwest like you are an industry veteran. BTW Gulfstream is not just pay for training it reaches a whole new low...paying to fly. I don't give a crap if you were hired some other way at GAA bottom line is you still have pilots on the property who are paying GAA for right to fly their airplanes.

BTW Southwest never said anyone had to pay a dime for their type rating. All they say is that you have to have one. They really don't give a rats a$$ who paid for it as long as you have it. I can think of several pilots who had their types paid for by people other than themselves.

I don't have to be an industry vet to see the business end of it all. You bashed me, so I bashed you. If you don't want any bashing, THEN DON'T BASH! Get it? Obviously not. There is no "new low", it is all the same. Just like the over 50% of current regional and major airline pilots that PFT'd at some point in their careers. And just how you bought your type, so that YOU COULD WORK AT SWA.
