Just like you did in SLC when you bought Morris. They had over 300 daily departures. Now what do you have 40? The arrogance of most of you SW guys on this board is amazing.

My buddy in the hiring pool (all 8 of them) just received a letter from the pilot hiring manager yesterday stating zero hiring until December 2013. His conditional job offer expires in August and he will have to re-interview, the whole process. 4% reduction in domestic flying. 8-10% reduction in Atlantic flying. 243 pilots on recall bypass who 90% have indicated they will return in December, which is the 10 year point from the initial 9/11 furlough. Around 800 are actively on mil leave and medical who will eventually return as well. Wish it was better news.

Ouch. Can't believe they would make him go through the whole process again after giving him the thumbs up. Hopefully he'll get called again.

And since then look how Delta has done. Lost billions. Cut pilot pay. Furloughed pilots. Went bankrupt. Lost billions more. Told pilots in their hiring pool to get bent. And I'm sure a pay cut or pilot furlough (or both) is now on the horizon. I'm sure SW had no effect on them in SLC. But would you rather be a Delta new hire in 1994 or the bottom guy at Morris? I got a feeling you'd probably be the Morris guy even though your new employer downsized in Salt Lake.

 

[Hose A. Jiminez]

are you applying for a job in maintenance or as a pilot? Either way, you should fit right in.

Of all people to be talking about playing it "fast and loose" with the log book. Ironic, coming from you.

Front line employees are being asked for voluntary furloughs in the wake of higher oil prices and decrease demand to Asia. I should have a link later.

I feel bad for any sw pilot that has to fly w tanker clown. It really does not say much about your interview process if he does get on. Most likely scenario he got turned down at delta and is still bitter.He does not have an interview w sw if he did he would be on the sw post about the latest hiring. What a sad case.

No kidding. They should make him pay for his training like they do at southwest.:laugh:

 

[redflyer65]

What? You're proud that Delta kicks their newhires to the curb when times get tough?

Good for you, what a fine company.

How did the SWA interview go? Is the DB today?

Unfortunately (for them) tanker toad already works at Swa. He likes to bash Song (never gets old) and yank people's chains behind his little perceived cover.

 

[AirMorgan]

They should rename this web site www.DALvsSWA.com. Every thread turns into the same old cyber battle. It's getting old guys!

I haven't been a major agitator on here but I have been known to sling some mud on occasion. Sorry.

SWA guys, you guys have a great company, great pay, and some really cool pilots. Please keep it that way.

DAL guys, you rock! Disregard the haters. Keep Climbing!

Arrogance? You mean advocating a fair way to do the SLI? The same way every other major airline merger has happened in the past few years? Your arrogance is trying to avoid it. And, we all see that famous "culture" of yours isn't always followed on FI.


Bye Bye---General Lee

That explains it. He lives a simple life.
