Cheapest Place For B-737 Type
If price is all you're worried about, there's one in Denver that's pretty cheap. However, you may not want to cut corners, as this is your potential career at stake. For what it's worth, HPA isn't the cheapest, but it's a great experience. Not only that, I truly feel that they provide a bit... -
The New Southwest?
TJ- Good response, many of the reasons you stated are why I consider myself fortunate to have this opportunity as well. I guess fighter guys and heavy guys have more in common than we thought! See you in class next week..... -
SWA commute from Denver
Great feedback on all fronts, guys. I appreciate everyone's POV, and have a lot to think about before I finish training. For the time being, I think staying in COS (where the wife has a job that makes more than I do) and trying the commute is the plan; we'll re-evaluate in a year or so. For... -
SWA commute from Denver
I appreciate all the great feedback on this thread, lots to consider. For the guys who have PM'd me and welcomed me to the company, greatly appreciate it, and looking forward to the new gig. Crashpad and commute info, real good, please keep it coming. 747- why so bitter, man? Were you... -
SWA commute from Denver
Advice solicited from those who have been there.... Starting SWA training in 3 weeks, so don't even know if I'll have a choice of home bases. I live in COS, so will be commuting out of DIA. Wondering if anyone out there does something like this, and what they've learned. My thoughts... -

SWA October Decision Board?
Hey all you big brains out there.... Interviewed last month, waiting for the ever-elusive "DB" to tell me my fate. Quick question: should I avoid the dreaded "Sorry, but...." letter and get a call, do they call overseas? Reason I ask is because I'm deploying tomorrow morning for 3+ months in... -
Southwest online app
If the company can't tell if you are a decent pilot and a hard worker in the interview than ta helll with them. If that's your attitude, good luck. While I agree that who you know should not determine whether or not you get an offer, that's the way things are, and if you want the job, you've... -
Southwest online app
Get your rec letters now, if there's even a chance of you getting a phone call. You need 3 min. I asked 7 guys for letters, 2 days before I left I had 2 in hand. 3 came the day before I left, and 2 guys blew me off entirely (after they said they would write). Point being, lots of unnecessary... -
SWA to COS?
Great feedback gents, appreciate the insight. Will save me asking the forbidden question at my interview. Some of you have responded to one of my other posts about surviving said interview. I appreciate all the feedback you guys have given me. Chase, check your PM's. Thanks again. -
SWA to COS?
Heard this one before, have you? Haven't been offered a job yet, just wondering if/when I do get lucky, how much of a burden the commute is going to be. Just moved here, in the Reserves, and don't want to leave! Of course, like I said, no job as of yet..... -

SWA to COS?
I know that this question allegedly sends Colleen Barrett into a violent rage since she's been asked so many times, so I'll ask all you big brains out there: I thought SWA was avoiding COS because of the financial abyss in north Denver that replaced Stapleton. I also hear it's because they... -
SWA DB today..Let us know if you get it
When you guys find out you were successful (or before then, depending on your mood), I'm looking for a little guidance myself. Interviewing 15 Sep, and any info is helpful. Did some prep, so know all about the TMAAT and the LOI, but for those of you who just went through it, any survival tips... -
Help crossing the pond
I have to brief my squadron on the ins and outs of crossing the pond enroute to the desert, with stops in Canada, Germany, and Greece on the way (yes, we're C-130's, now no more scurvy jokes). However, I haven't done it primary in over 2 years, and have forgotten some of the finer points of... -
Higher Power Aug 22nd?
Just got it a week ago for the bargain basement price of $7400. Great program though, worth every penny. Well, once the phone rings, it'll be worth it. -
Flying for the Air National Guard
I'm new to the forum too, but here's what I know. First, read my message under "trying to decide" (also in the military threads) about the benefits of Guard/Reserve vs. Active duty. Without putting it all here, I just joined the AF reserve from AD, and it's a different world. Concerning the no... -

Trying to decide.....
I'll give my 2 cents worth; take it or leave it. First, I just got off AD AF (C-130s to Pope) and joined the USAF Reserve. Why? The last 3 years of my life were 4mos deployed (Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, etc), 4 mos at home (recurrency, checkrides, TDY), repeat indefinitely. Now that's 130s, other... -
737 type rating help
I'm leaving this weekend for 737 training at Higher Power in Dallas. Besides the day one question bank test, anyone got any insight to survival?
