Auto Brakes, RNP, VNAV, Auto Throttles....Can't wait 'till the first ones try to decipher the new PDC. After a few stories of heads exploding in the right seat, the rest will opt for fishing with the grand kids!!! So relax...the glamour of being a switch monkey for some young whippersnapper in...
FWIW,
I was furloughed from CAL in '01....I've found a much nicer home at LUV. In an industry of apples and oranges LUV is a chocolate milkshake. The sky is bluer, the grass is greener and my food tastes better :-) No $hit !!!
Count me in. Got the call today also. Any gouge on what time the festivities start on the 14th? Don't want to miss a moment of the fun!!! See you soggy, water logged, ex-pool rats in DAL :-)
A little late with the post but I got the call yesterday too !!!!!! Look forward to meeting ya'll.
Hey Dutch/Donald.....did we meet in the hall at the "Center of Excellence" in LRAFB about a year ago?
While ALLIMAS had my hopes up........it was not to be. Looks like Firstthird may have been the last lucky poolster to dry off on the 01Mar04 class. Talked to LL about 2 weeks ago. She indicated that I was more toward the middle of our 15 Mar class and that movin up was probably not probable...
Coop,
Everyone is probably still pinching themselves. When they realize it's not a dream I'm sure they'll start singing our way. The light at the end of our tunnel may not be a freight train after all.....giddy-up
Hi Opie,
"she mentioned that Training department was going to meet real soon to discuss classes for newhires.".
.....Anyone?...Anyone?....we're all looking for any amplifying information. Latest rumor from these boards was February to accomodate new checklist procedures. We're all hoping for...
Same Same today for me too. And while I'm sure it's to gear up for something at sometime either sooner or later, it's at least nice to know that the light at the end of the tunnel may not be a freight train after all :-) Enjoy the summer....we'll be in the books soon enough. Can't wait to...
Opie,
Stay the current course. Your family will enjoy the benefits of you flying for a major.... and you'll definetly enjoy the 737. Be patient my friend. My family has non-rev'd their arses off and can't wait to get on with SWA!!!!! It'll be here before you you know it :-)
Tred,
I took similar grief. Don't know why.....perhaps a tinge of envy?
Once again, an informative post from the tred-man. Man-o-man, from Pool Rat CEO to "IT" geek....how do you keep the pace? Hey, only a few more classes and we'll be drying off.
Fraggle,
The gut man....go with the gut! As I have found many times, if you try to out think and out plan you could be left wondering why you didn't just follow your gut feeling. I would suspect that you already know which answer is right for you and yours.....just follow through and you'll...
Hi Opie,
The 910th AW owns 2 squadrons.....one was activated 28 Feb. I'm actually assigned to the OSS. So far so good. I figure the odds be fifty fifty....(any old Zappa fans out there). I'm just now finishing up being fully qualified. I'm scheduled to be off the Rock on 02 Apr...then 2...
Hi Guys
just wanted to chime in about the support factor of our poolie family. This board has been our life blood for what seems like an eternity now. The positive comments on just about all subjects never ceases to amaze me. While I haven't been activated yet, I suppose it's right around...
Hey Guys,
While all this is extremely un-fun....I did talk to LL today....They WILL wait for us. Eventually we WILL be on the property. This IS one hell of a family!!!!
By-the-by, We really do need to keep in touch. It will be my absolute pleasure to buy the bar for all of you, and I...
Our unit believes activation is right around the corner. I too will be hosed for a while. While activation tends to be expensive, a one to two year call-up is not out of the question.
The real question though guys is this....to what extent will a war on one front and a possible altercation...
Re-Onion
Shav'r
If Opie's previous post means he'd have to take his shirt off...well...heck to be honest I'd rather be he one buying the beer!!!!!! (even though i'll most definitely be WEARING mine) :-)
In fact, I'll buy the Scotch.....you guys bring the cigars. Can't wait to get back to...
