Helpful hints
If you don't have any names yet at all, try www.avweb.com and do a database search on medical examiners in the area in question. Then you can look up each one specifically to see if they're set up to do First Class medicals. (btw, it's sometimes surprising to see how many...
No rumors here, but remember last year. The July class popped up out of nowhere, and that was it for the year.
It seems that things are going better now from what I've been reading (loads, earnings, consumer confidence, etc,...) in the press, so MAYBE we'll see a FEW more classes this year...
correction on the link....
Sorry about the link. Somehow the comma got there on the end (I try and use proper English, and we see what happens).
Try www.pilotshirts.com (w/o the comma). The bag still seems like a good price ($209.00)
Funny thing, you don't really think of finding a good...
PNS brainbag not too good on quality
Here's my .02 worth on a couple of leather flight bags.
During initial at U, I bought the all leather flight bag from PNS. We had the option to get the ballistic nylon on the sides with the company name stitched on it (looked really cool), but I just had...

I assume we'll all be getting some extra 26 weeks of unemployment bennies soon, if you can believe this article below:

Before about 50 SWA pilots, poolies, and hopefuls chime in to answer your question on this board, which will inevitably lead to discussions on Delta and Leo, and how UAL sucks, blah, blah blah,....just send 'ole Herb an e-mail, and he might just let you know. If he's too...
Let's hear it for the old farts!
Man I felt pretty young when I interviewed. Now I've been sitting at this dang computer so long here in this pool, that I've probably shrunk an inch (in height), and I know I've gotten a few gray hairs, not to mention a few more wrinkles.:D
When I do finally...
It's certainly "Shock and Awe" going on now in Baghdad, but here on the airline homefront, it's just another "No shock, just awe" 1st quarter for SWA. Rock on boys. That company is amazing.

What????
Chase,
I'm not sure what you mean here. Can you clarify? Do you mean '03, or have things become even more uncertain for '04? Last I heard from LL, she told me they're taking 40 airplanes in '04, and they were looking at a total of 140 new-hires for this year (subject to change of...
I think I'm still on the Pony Express route. Nothing yet.....We still wave at the FedEx guy driving by every week though.
For anybody who received theirs yet, is there a deadline to get it filled out and returned to the PD?

737 Augmented crews
I think Hooters Air may be the first airline to fly a 737 with an "augmented" crew.
Hey, safety first. I bet they are currently the only airline flying now where the pax actually not only listen to the safety briefing, but actually look forward to it.....especially the...
WARNING, WARNING, WARNING,....
Danger Will Robinson!!!!
Be very cautious of airline CFO's and financial spin doctors in times like these. These financial wizzes (and that they are, uh huh) can make anything look good (or bad) on paper, that is until they get what they want from either labor...
The B-ground "Check's in the mail"
Opie,
I recently talked with LL and was told these updates were being mailed this week. (not using FedEx this time in the interest of saving $$).
I got the impression that they are in no big hurry to meet any sort of urgent update deadline since it doesn't...
Easy gate to remember....
I heard from a buddy of mine today that they departed ATL on the first flight from Gate 38D. You have to love that kind of marketing.:D
Yo quero 737's
Chase,
Found this blurb on the Boeing website:
"In the other contract, AeroMexico will take four additional 737-700s directly from ILFC for a total of 15 737-700s."
Looks like our friends south of the border are getting the phantom four. Luxair was taking the other 2 from the...
Coming soon: "Airline CEO Survivor"
Super Dave must be dance'n the Macarena this evening.
And Carty, Mullin, and Bethune must all be grin'n like a jackass eat'n briars tonight.:D
Sorry, I didn't mention the UAL guy. Sounds like he may not be around long enough to join the party, but I'm...
Mike,
If I only had a nickle for every time I've heard that this year....
But altogether a very productive day. All the web surfing finally paid off when I locked in a 4.875% refinance on the house to save about 230 bucks a month on the 'ole mortgage. I told them I was an out of work airline...
Will it float?....Will it float?....
Since we're putting together the Top Ten list for the pool, how about a segment of "Will it float?" for the pool. :D
Sorry, I've been watching too much Letterman lately.
