More Great Press for SWA
oh please, it's a just t-shirt. What's the big deal. Go to cafepress.com and see the hundreds of t-shirts out there that will offend anything and everyone. This is Southwest Airlines, and I work for them, and we need to get off our high horse - we fly white trash and that's that - let freedom... -
General Airline Cockpit Jumpseat question
You better be nice to those interns, they may be your Captain one day! -
AGE 60 passes Senate today..
f the age 65 rule I figured out what it would cost me at SWA where there is actual projected growth. The union sent us a worksheet based on expected retirements etc, and projected aircraft deliveries. That was before last month's announcement of reduced growth. Anyway, having been hired at... -
SWA August 22 class
Just had recurrent and spoke with one of the chiefs. He said there are 2 or 3 classes in August and 2 in September (Don't quote me on that, I can't remember exactly). What I do remember him saying is no more classes for the rest of the year and no more interviews either. There are a... -
News Flash!
They're clearly looking at Captains at the Majors. F/O's are considered copilots, not real pilots. I'm sure if you looked at average Captain pay it would be pretty similiar to those results. Here, at SWA, Captains AVERAGE over 200k....- beytzim

SWA Business plan Tanking..Did I miss something?
On Your Six, As a former Netjets pilot, I will tell you that rich people will NOT "throw their money" at will. In fact, many of them are the cheapest a-holes out there. Rich people fly Netjets at any cost because the current perception is Netjets the safest and most reliable corporate... -
HPA or K&what?
Go to the cheapest one. I went to HPA because they have a student loan program, so you won't have to put in on your credit card or empty your checking account. HPA's type school was a joke and is geared to pass a cessna 172 pilot! -
OJAP- Organization of Jewish Airline Pilots
BenderGonzo said:"I can attest that being Jewish in a predominantly Southern Baptist town is challenging at best... downright uncomfortable at worst. Interestingly, i'm not particularly religious. I haven't been to synagogue since my Bar Mitzvah. But now that I have a son I want him to have the... -
OJAP- Organization of Jewish Airline Pilots
If I was to sell a religion would I try to sell one that: 1. Excludes practically everyone that wasn't born Jewish (unless you go through a year long pain-in-the-arse schooling), has literally thousands of laws that are completely illogical, has a G-d that can neither be named, idolized, or... -
CAL Intl Jumpseat
same as regular jumpseating except you can't sit in the cockpit. Also, check in 90 minutes early. -

The REAL reason for SWA success
If you're wondering, this is in PHX, and I've seen this guy do this routine several times over the past year. Always makes me smile as I walk up to my airplane, proud to work for Southwest Airlines. -
OJAP- Organization of Jewish Airline Pilots
I'm in, so you probably know what 'beytzim' means ;) To answer your question on being Jewish, hebrew, or working on Saturday. 90-95% of Jewish Americans are like most Americans: religion is simply a tradition in the family, but doesn't affect their daily lives or careers. "Hebrew" is a... -
Holly crap, interview with Southwest..Help!!!
The head of pilot hiring just jumpseated on my flight yesterday so I asked as much as I could: 1. 2500 apps on file with >1300 PIC and updated in last 6 months, only, I say this again, only 400 with type ratings. 2. Hired for '06: 560. Minimum hiring for '07: 590. 3. 40% of... -
Age 60/65 Compromise
Can someone explain to me why a Democratic congress will be against this rule change. It seems to me that they'll be pro-labor....please straighten out my logic. -
DAL labor costs are "are still uncompetitive."
General Lee, you surprise me with your cocky statement on how DL gives pax the ability to connect to more airports than SWA. You, more than anybody, has seen SWA add more and more cities to its structure over the years (while everyone else like DL has gone the other way) You know that its just... -

PBS QOL survey
I agree with radarlove as well. I think you're a fool to automatically dismiss PBS just of you may of heard. SWA can make PBS one kick a$$ schedule program. It's all up to us, the BOD, and the company. I hear a lot of guys complaining about PBS taking away our vacation overlap awards... -
Jumpseating not in Uniform
If it was up to me, we'd wear khakis and polo shirts. Looks good and comfy, just like our WN flight attendants wear. Now I'm sure I'll get a whole bunch of chit about looking professional, blah, blah, blah - from the same people who actually want to wear hats (What the fluk??) I used to fly... -
Death To America
Big_Al, you state that the military is for defense only, I guess you disagree with Israel's pre-emptive strike in 1966, (six day war) or 82 (Iraq), or Iran (soon)! you're a sheep, to the slaughtehouse you go! Perhaps you should read "Mila 18" by Leon Uris. -
Death To America
we all have them, pacifists amongst our groups, and so we fellow Jews have one here: Big_Al. Big_Al probably supported Arafat, agreeing that the Israelis weren't giving away enough land for peace. Big_Al probably thinks that we should leave Iran alone, as they only want peaceful nuclear power... -
Death To America
PunchTheClown, last time I checked 9/11 happened before the Bush fiascos, if anything, the 9/11 plan occured during the Clinton admin, but I don't see you blaming him! You live in a pretty ignorant, close minded world to think that we can just pretend to ignore everything outside the US and... -
