Rumor Alert-SWA may consider hiring external dispatch applicants

[RVSM]

Just a rumor at this point but it is something to think about.

I had heard that rumor in Oct of '05.

That would be awesome.... How do the current SWA dispatchers feel about it?

GREAT! All Texas fans....keep your eyes out! This is GREAT news for our profession.

 

[RVSM]

Most realize that we have just about emptied the internal bowl of appropriate candidates. Overall I think the feeling is positive.
One more group of internal hires, from the last interviews, should start in a couple of months and if rumors are accurate the next interviews will be in the fall and will be a mix of internal and externals.

North Texas is home for me and I miss it dearly.

Good for WN, even though I have never understood why it;s such a coveted place to work.

 

[SKC]

I'm guessing, because working for a company that actually makes money is attractive.

Dude, If you dont know why, were not gonna tell you.

I know why people wanna work there, I just don't understand why. Southwest has ruined this industry, turning it into a bus service. Remember when people actually used to dress up to fly somewhere? Remember when airlines actually had customer service? That is all gone, because of the way WN operates.

Work there= middle seat, last row, for LIFE!

 

[SKC]

Yeah, that's the ONLY reason why the legacies have been sucking the teets off the bankruptsy judges over the past 5 years.

What part of full airplanes are bad? A non-rev doesn't help the company pay it's bills (directly). If I have a hard time getting on a WN plane stand-by, that means the company is doing something right.

 

[Ohh Porterhouse]

Hmmmm I wonder...

Do you have to line up at the interview door 2 hours before just like you do to get on one of their flights???

I know why people wanna work there, I just don't understand why.

I guess things like stability and a decent payscale/profit sharing aren't really your priorities.

deregulation turned flying into a bus service and i'm glad. the average consumer shouldn't have to pay out the @ss to fly somewhere. nor should they have to dress up to fly. customer service is gone in every industry now.
you're living in the past my friend.
