Spoke with LL...and a couple of ???
Heat, I did IOE, temp, and permanent domicile all in OAK. IOE the last week of August, Temp for the month of September, and placed in OAK permanent in October. No problem getting this if this is what you want. You'll have enough pilots in your class that don't want to be in OAK to make... -

SWA Training Information
Just finished a three day reserve block and logged on to see if the new hire class was anywhere near getting to OAK. Since I'm one of the last to finish the training you're asking about, I'll try to give you an idea of what to expect. I was in the July 15th class....last class of 2002. We... -

SWA July 15th Class
Sentry, For what it's worth, once my stop-loss waiver came through, I took the first available retirement date. I was hopefull to spend my terminal leave working for SWA. As it turns out, I'll be retired by two weeks before I start. Not bad since I really had no idea when I would get the... -

Any July 15'ers yet?
Baby steps to Dallas...... Got a call from Jennifer today. She asked two questions. Am I available for the July 15th class and am I a US citizen? When I answered yes to both questions, she indicated this was not an offer of employment, however the CP would be making the calls on Friday and... -

Vision question for SWA drivers
AFter 24 years of flying, the perfect vision finally failed me. My last FAA physical included "Must wear corrective lenses". Since I'm anticipating starting with SWA in July, my question is to those who wear glasses while flying SWA 737's. Being very ignorant to this glasses thing, I... -

SWA class date and size July/August..
My 2 cents worth, Talked with Jennifer today. She indicated they had received my updated info package and my background checks were progressing. She also said, barring anything unusual, I should be in the July 15th class. My former employer, USAF, did get a call this week verifying my... -

FAA Medical
In addition to what has been said, the Military Flight Doc, while on active duty, are not authorized to give Class 1 physicals. As my flight doc explained, it's a way for the medical community to insure employment. They realized many airline pilots were retired military pilots who could get... -

Stop/Loss Waiver Success Rate?
I'll second the "hardship" story. My waiver included a hardship which has been ongoing for over two years. I attempted to curtail an ADSC in 1999 to retire only to have it turned down back then. My retirement was scheduled and I had terminal leave planned two weeks after stop loss took... -

Stop/Loss Waiver Success Rate?
Good News!!!!! This afternoon I received word my waiver has been approved at ACC. I'll be on terminal leave as quickly as the personnel system can do the paper work. It's been 22 years and I can honestly say I've enjoyed just about every second of it. I hate leaving the Air Force under these... -
