SWA will be hiring again shortly. Look for positions to be posted towards the end of the month and a start date of the first part of April. Class size of 10. With the Air Tran folks moving to DAL over the next year, I wouldn't expect much hiring off the street for awhile after this class.

One would have better chances of winning the lottery than getting in on this class...

Odds are actually better as the class size is larger than normal.

Not exactly aircraft dx but this could be promising for some

Union Pacific train line is looking for Apprintence Train Dispatchers. Good salary and shift work not unlike the airlines. Good pay too. I also believe this is one of Warren Buffet's companies. The only downside might be having to live in OMA.

For anyone that might be intrested, they strongly perfer a Bachelor's Degree and background in ATC could be useful. Also, they will close this positon sooner if they get enough apps.

Initial assignment will be to the "Extra Board". Those employees on this list are subject to call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A three year commitment to the position is required after qualification.

Pay is OK but this seems a bit harsh, I could do without the 24/7 leash.

True. I suppose it would depend how much one wants it. It would seem however they would have some duty limits or mandatory days off after being assigned so many in a row.

Maybe in the US, but I know a guy here in the UAE that signed up for a VIP charter job that required 24/7/365 availability. He now has stomach ulcers and hates life. Trust me, that is not worth it no matter what the pay is. That is the definition of being "owned". I don't want the possibility of my chain getting jerked when relaxing, drinking a cold one and watching a football game.
