Just wondering how old is this tradition? I was hired in 14 years ago and there was no such tradition. Don't start complaining about guys not carrying on a tradition that didn't even exist for the first 25 - 30 years existence of SWA.

It is about having a little fun...You obviously don't get that. So if it was not going on when you were hired it is not a tradition....so how does a tradition start..please let me know

So if it wasn't going on when YOU were hired then it can't go on at all? GMAFB! Maybe we should roll everything back to 1994; pay, schedules, domiciles, procedures, etc. Just the way it was when YOU were hired.
 
The cane is still being used. I saw one of the old guys using it the other day in Phoenix. I guess he was to cheap to buy his own.

But it wasn't the 60+ guys that refused to do it. It was discontinued sometime in late 2007. Someone got offended from what I heard at the training center.

I was in the last 07 class, which was in October. We simply had nobody to give it to. Tradition or not, this is something passed from class to class, not from the company to the class. Nobody was offended, simple as that.

That damn baby rattle cost me about $200 in bar tab the week I had to carry it around. It was a fun game to play especially when guys would try and take it in the middle of class. That is a shame it is gone.

That thing was EXPENSIVE! One day I walked down without it, and downstairs was my class and two previous classes. $50 GONE! Too bad one pu$$y killed it. I hear that he got bent out of shape so we cancelled the whole tradition.
 
Are you serious? No more baby rattle? I was proud to carry that thing around for two weeks knowing I had the longest career at SWA...Sad, very sad.

Anyone heard anymore about the dates of the July classes? I know it was posted earlier about the 9th, 16th and 30th being the days but was hoping to hear a confirmation.
