A great business plan
Here is a great business plan.... You fly a 70 or 90 seater while you provide that great service to majors, so that eventually you get that major job which will not be there.
Maybe there are guys who like their RJ gig and are content. So, in that case if you have no...
The message
His message to the employee groups, at least FAs and pilots, has been "you are not important, we don't care about you..., it doesnt matter what you do, we dont care about you, you are inconsequential to our company, we don't care, you don't matter, did we mention we dont care about...
Smisek... This is just a taste of what's coming...
As angry as I was when I heard that CAL management was going to try to "test" our scope, I have to say that the pleasure that I felt yesterday seeing that Lorenzo wanna be, get egg in his face was worth the whole discomforting episode.
As...
WOW, that story sounds familiar...
Very familiar story for me as well. I didn't think of anything but Southwest for about 5 years before I got the interview. I prepared for it, had lots of internal recs and I thought it was a positive experience and didn't get hired. That letter really hit me...
Got the letter
I received the letter. It's dissapointing but time to go to the alternate, get more fuel and a bigger airplane and come back. Good luck to all the folks on the March DB and folks still waiting to hear.
Sorry to hear that...
Hey Avro and Bandit,
Sorry to hear that. I have not gotten the letter or call. If I don't make it in I'll be back. The waiting is more difficult than I expected.
It's a pattern
I have heard that. What I think is promising about magnetic power inc is that they also have the ultra conductors which have been independently verified and they could subsidize some of the magnetic generator research. It's a matter of time.
This would be a major shock to the...
Energy Alternatives other than wind,nuclear,solar,oil?
There are companies that are working on an alternative to oil energy other than wind, nuclear or hydro motive. This source of energy is controversial and under the scope of the media and most mainstream science. Various patents have been...
Letters?
Has anyone received any letters? There aren't many people posting here than were on the Feb board but I was wondering if anyone had gotten the dreaded letter. Good luck. I've heard that some people get word after a week after hte board pending more background or information so until...
I can relate
Hi Bandit,
I'm on your same boat. I got my refs called but no news. I will not probably come home in 2 weeks so I will not be able to see if I get a letter. I wish I could see if I get the letter so that the stress could be over. I felt good when my refs got called. However, I...
Diploma or transcript
Southwest asks for transcript or diploma , I gave them the diploma, so they never got to ask me about grades. They also got my high school diploma.
To keep yuo boxed...
Hey Mini,
When you are given a visual approach you can determine your own path to the runway and altitude subject to any other applicable limitations. By clearing you for the visual apch via the localizer and/or altitude limit, the controller is ensuring that you will not...
showbiz?
Hey flyingitalian,
I bought this writable dvd player and it came with a program called Showbiz. You can make videos using pictures or video an create videos in virtually any format. Extremely easy to use. It's probably even more advanced now, I got it 2 years ago. Look it up on the...
No hedging, prices higher?
If Southwest wasn't hedged, airfares would be higher, no doubt. Does that mean that everyone else would have made money? Well, if airfares were higher, load factors would have been lower too. So where would we be? I think Southwest would have still made money. But...
Not run by pilots anymore?
Hey Calvin,
I get your point now. But why do you say the process is not run by pilots? I just interviewed in Jan and my impression is that the process is largely dominated by pilots. I had 1 out of 3 interviews wth an HR guy and the rest including the LOI were...
Great 737 job?... I'm dreaming
Hardly, I fly a Metro and Hawker 600. While I can not complain about pay, I live on my cell phone. Having a day off is a real project. The 737 type was to apply for SWA. I'll tell you how the interview went in a few weeks. I really went out of my way to get to...
I had an awesome cubicle job
Before flying I was an aerospace engineer. I worked for Boeing Space Systems planning orbital transfers for communication satellites and performing many other types of analysis. Probably as fun and interesting a desk job anyone could have. Flying is so much better...
