I just got a call from someone at the PD yesterday. I interviewed 6/26 with the type and was told the following:

My pool date is 6/26. A class started on Monday, classes scheduled for 9/19 and 10/3, no more planned until Jan. Unofficial guess for my training date was 8-9 classes after they start back up. At 2 classes per month it looks like April/May unless things change.

Hopefully this isn't 100% redundant (i was too lazy to read all 16 pages) but it is the latest info.
 
Thanks for all your support, I know the guys and gals in the "pool" appreciated. Keep the information coming...!!!! Anyone reading this thread knowing you are in the pool but did not list yourself, put yourself on the list. Good day to you all.
 
FYI

Spoke to Sandy in the PD yesterday. She said that I was probably three classes away. My pool date is 5/18. That must mean there are alot of people that aren't on our list. She said that between me and 5/15 there were about 50-60.

She also said that as of now there are no more classes planned for this year. Of course she was sure to emphasize that this is always subject to change.

While I'm anxious to start...I guess it wouldn't be bad to enjoy one more Christmas/New Year off before I head to the bottom of my new and improved seniority list...L0L

thats a good way to look at things Jet1man....
Its funny how most of us have waited our entire careers for this, and now that its here, a few months seems like an eternity... another christmas at home with my family will be great!!! Keep swimmin yall! Just remember what your swimming in now is better than what you have been swimming in!!!

Hey swimmers! I just added myself with a 6/10 pool date. Hang in there everyone!
 
Just heard a rumor from a friend who heard it from his friend (so please take that for what it's worth). His friend just started training at SWA and heard that classes aren't going to start up again (after the 10/3 class) until June 2008. Please tell me that this is just a horribly wrong rumor. Has anyone heard anything close to this? I was always under the impression that classes were planned to start up again in Jan 2008.
 
I think it is interviews wont start until then. We are still taking airplanes next year so I think classes will continue. However, if we buy or merge with someone then who knows.

For what it's worth from someone in training (me) who has recently spoke to director of New Hire Training, the only definite is that there are no other plans for classes after Oct 3rd for this year. I have not specifically heard that there won't be any until next June but that could be a possibility. I am of the belief like Vixin though that the June comment is in reference to interviews. The PD just relays what the training dept decides, and the true info in this regard is a well kept secret until about 30 days down to 21 days prior to a class. I know its hard but try not to get spun up about what at this point is just s rumor. Cheers, klr
