[Slow to .90 Mac]

Here's the latest from PD as of yesterday.....

One to two newhire classes per month for the rest of the year. For me, that means the first or second August class depending on how many pass up their class offer. Hope this helps everyone else waiting.

Hiring could be as high as 650 this year, with no retirements of aircraft.

I doubt that SWA could interview and train 650 people by the end of the year. We've only hired around 250 thus far.

 

[GuppyWN]

Dude. Don't know how long you've been here but we can do 24 a week till the cows come home.

Git 'er done! And DAMN it's good to see you guys. Hope you have as much fun as I am.

Gup

 

[GuyBehindTheGuy]

Just finished up the LOFT tonight and our instructor said he's hearing hiring numbers in the 600s as well. So, could be true.

Bitter-sweet as it's great to be done with training, but sad to part ways with my classmates after six great weeks together. Awesome bunch of guys and the PD did a outstanding job putting together this class!

Cheers to you guys - see you out on the line!:beer:

600...? that would be awesome!

Congrats to all you guys and gals, my wife will be joining you soon,her pool number is just about ready to surface,Cheers,and Godspeed to you all !

 

[Dart]

That is great news!! Hopefully some of us will get the call.

 

[ASADFW7]

I would not post something that gave false hope. At the meet and greets we have been having there are encouraging words from our team. Two classes a month, and a third class thrown in on the odd month allows for the target of six hundred to six fifty to be a reality. We did it the year I was hired as well. good luck to those working on coming here.

...word!

Thanks for the information ASADFW7!
Being faced with a furlough in the fall I need to hear numbers that............

 

[Dude]

...we got you Homie!

 

[texman]

Have they filled the first class of july yet?

 

[BE200drvr]

Does anyone know when they let you out on the Friday of the first week? For my planning purposes it would help me out a lot. Thank you!

Our schedule had us in class until 1730. We beat that by an hour or so.

 

[bluestreaking]

Just went to recurrent, they told us we've hired 232 pilots so far, with a goal of 500 by the end of the year.

These our almost surreal numbers considering that almost everyone is about to furlough.

Pd called for a drug test today. I think we should hear with in a week about the July 16th class.

Yeah...and at the beginning of 2008, some guys were bummed out because the word was we were only going to hire about 180 or so.

I'd say more growth is gonna come ...sooner rather than later.

 

[bmxandjets]

any updates on interviews?

 

[Whataburger]

any updates on interviews?

Yea, they said if you never owned a Haro Group 1 in the mid-80s, you wont get interviewed. WITHOUT spokie-dokies.

 

[chjack]

that was awesome, you just brought me back to my youth! speaking of that, i was pricing haro's the other day for kicks, and they are cheap now. back in the 80's a new haro was going for $400. i saw new ones the other day for less than $300. crazy. end of thread hijack.
