My 2 cents
I think one of the reasons that SWA has added more nonstop flights at Midway, i.e. Phoenix, Seattle, San Deigo, San Fran is to compete with ATA.
In the past it seemed the two carriers coexisted at MDW with ATA flying the longer nonstops and SWA the direct but with stops flights...
training classes
Hi, FYI
Spoke with Jennifer today, (Friday) and she said that there were no training classes scheduled after April. So it wasn't posible to say what the earliest or latest I would be called...."not for a while" is how we left it.
With 2 classes of about 20/class, SWA will...
Actually spoke with Jennifer
Jennifer called me again today (Monday) to reconfirm that we would move forward with the process. It seems that she is required to say that instead of an outright-congratulations.
My wife listened to her message Friday and said I hope you didn't tell your friends...

Jennifer McCallion called me today also but I didn't have a chance to get to the phone in time and it went to voice mail.
She stated the "committee met a few days ago and you did a great job".
"We'll continue on with the process", "a few things are pending".

Time line for review board decision
I spoke with one of the assistant Chief Pilots in Dallas today to check if they had received some paper work. He asked when I interviewed (Jan 24th) and he said my application would probably go before the Feb 20th RB.
It sounds like they might not be able to...
Interviewed in January. Two of my contacts used for the letters of recommendations just called to inform me that a SWA pilot had followed up on the letters.
The SWA pilot talked for 20 minutes with my contact...5-6 minutes about SWA and United and the rest of the time was spent on "some pointed...
Higher Power Aviation
My 2 cents
I attended the HPA course and they are a class act.
The ground school instructor Lynn was excellent, one of the best. They really are interested in the students and try to make the course as fun and interesting as possible.
The support staff is really helpful...
ATA reply
No pilots were laid off at ATA after Sept 11th, but F/E were.
However, the PFE knew even before the 11th that time was running out for them and they would be laid off as the 727s were set down and replaced with 737-800s. Their lay offs were just accelerated.
The good news (for ATA...
Rob Beeks pricing and contact info
Ops, my mistake on the price. It was $250 and still worth it.
After one has paid for a type rating, hotel, meals, etc it is but a drop in the bucket.
His contact # is 480-575-9310 office
His e-mail is [email protected]
I used Rob Beeks prep guide and I think it was well worth the $150. It gave me an insight into the style of questions that would be asked.
SAR, situation, actions, results....Book a time slot early, his schedule fills up quickly
