SWA April Class Dates and Numbers

[huronip]

Just got a memo in my box saying there will be 3 classes in April with 24 in each. The dates are the 2nd, 9th and 23rd. First class and part of the second class will be retiree's that have been rehired.

"Part" of the second class? So how many of the 47 did we take back? Or should I say how many decided that weekend reserve for a year or two sounded like a big enough carrot?

Does anyone know if the "newhires" will be truly that...ie no sick leave ect coming with them from pre-retirement days?

You mean they're coming back at the bottom of the list? Are they idiots? they're f-ing millionares.

retire already you chumps and make room for the rest of us. Enjoy life- it's more fun when you're not at work.

They will be "new" employees with no accumulation of anything. Scratchola. Day number one. From the start. In other words - they'll be my bitch!

I think they should get their original seniority number back. It is discrimination at its worst.

If you kept up on the age 65 change it specifically prohibited people who had already retired from returning at their old seniority.

I know the rule change included people from getting their seats back. I just don't agree with the situation.
Discrimination is horrible and unjust.

Calling this age discrimination is a stretch...

This isn't discrimination; it's just bad timing. They popped out of momma a few years too early and got caught under the old retirement age.

I popped out a couple years too late, and now I'm trying to get hired while the industry is adapting to age 65.

are you for real?

You're right. They only knew their ENTIRE career that they would have to retire at age 60... and they obviously were not disciplined enough to save for retirement (despite the fact that SWA has been one of the best performing stocks over the last 25 years and they should be multi-millionares). Why not come back for 4 years at 45k/per and sit reserve in Oakland.

You proabably also believe Hillary should be awarded the delegates from Michigan despite the fack Obama and Edwards weren't even on the ballot there. Why not.. it would be discrimination otherwise...and very unjust.

Decision Board is tomorrow....retirees/interviewees will know who was/wasn't selected on Tuesday.

Now..as to when you'll know...there's no timetable for that. Anyway, who cares...they don't affect me or you..so whats the worry?

ou're right. They only knew their ENTIRE career that they would have to retire at age 60... and they obviously were not disciplined enough to save for retirement (despite the fact that SWA has been one of the best performing stocks over the last 25 years and they should be multi-millionares).

What does their money situation have to do with discrimination. How would you like to be fired at age 60 for no good reason, thrown out into the cold street with nothing but your shirt on your back.

You probably also believe Hillary should be awarded the delegates from Michigan despite the fack Obama and Edwards weren't even on the ballot there. Why not.. it would be discrimination otherwise...and very unjust.

I'm a Repub or an Indepen at that very least so I don't know what Hillary or Obama stand for nor do I care. I'm voting for McCain!

more thread hijack

The above statement shows you can't be taken seriously! You are either an obvious flame baiter, or just so far out of touch with reality that its just plain pathetic.
