Question for the SWA guys here, I have a rental property business that pays the bills, instead of quitting completely (from awac) I have pondered trying to jump ship to a place where I can treat this job as a hobby. Is that easily done there? Can I drop my entire line some months, while flying maybe a trip once every other month?

Not as an FO. Besides, why do I want to pay your medical, dental and vacation when all you do is syphon from the hose. Beat it!

Boy, I hope you aren't on the interview panel there Gup.

Boy, I hope you aren't on the interview panel there Gup.

i hope he is. you really don't get it do you dude? i don't want to pay for sewer's benefits when he's not contributing the good of the company. using us for bene's only is taking money out of my pocket. this is a team sport, we all work hard, we all win. you go gup!

I'm thinking flamebait. But if not, we don't make money around here giving away bennies to people who are looking for a teat to suckle and don't want to be productive. Flight attendants might be a different story, I have heard several brag about giving away most of their trips. They are usually the same ones with a massive brood of kids at home getting the free health care no loads are looking to obama for.

When I get on at SWA I'm not going to be one of those guys that works a ton. I have a nice military retirement check every month, so if I can just work a couple of short trips a month that would be gravy.

I suppose the company doesn't mind. They allow it to happen. I guess I don't see the big deal.

We'll see. I got a ton of AF buds there. They're pretty sure that I'll get in.

heard that one before.

I'm a known quantity being an AF guy. I've never heard of SWA turning down a guy with my experience(especially non flying stuff) and connections. Let's put it this way, I'd be a lot more suprised if I didn't get on with Southwest.

I noticed that was you're 1,000th post. Congrats! Soon you will have more posts than you do flight hours. Is that what you meant by non flying stuff?

Thanks on the 1000th post. I did a lot of stuff in the AF. I did some fine work at TACC and was an IP in both tankers. Not to mention that I was a Senator's aid.

I'm slowly getting some more flight time. My buds said not to worry about it since they don't check mil guys log books too close. He said I should be good even if I have to fudge the numbers.

heard we've turned down blue angels and t-birds. aren't they supposed to be cream of your crops? i'll say it again, you really don't get it do you? i thought it was ego at first, now you have my sympathy.

edit:wait a minute. you've got a retirement check coming and you might have to 'fudge' numbers? you gotta be sh!ttin me. don't you have to be in 20 yrs to get retirement? how much time do you really have? you've been packing instead of flyin' ain't ya' there good buddy? now i know why the navy and marines i fly with make fun of your guys. imp:

Good advice. I hear you have a lot of experience with "fudge".
