Feb 17th SWA class

[falcon20]

What I have seen in the past they like to have a good mixture in the class(civ, mil, young ,old) that is why it may seem the list isnt perfect, but close.

WOW, what a thread!!

We've been waiting a while to read a thread like this one....hope we have more like this to follow. Congrats to all you ex-poolies!!!!

Got a few questions:

Anyone know about Waco, Caneman, Joker, or Skid203?

Starrbuck, how about your friend #28...any word?

I believe an updated list is in order again.

Not gonna touch that one with a ten foot pole. (No pun intended)

Welcome to SWA

 

[tredding@swa]

sweaty palms....

I am sittin' here in Kinkos, sweating all of the rental mouse!!

Man, WHAT GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!

In regards to the skipping around... remember that our list IS unofficial.... also - my guess is that when SWA builds a class, they like to disperse the ages out evenly so as to not retire a whole class in the same quarter down the road....??? Sounds like what I would do if it were my company at least.....

Keep the towels ready for some more of us, as we are rapidly swimming to the shallow end of the pool....

I for one will be bringing my towel to class, as pruned as I am - it may take days to dry completely off!!

Have fun in DAL - save some Turkey-Aid for me!!!

Regards - Tred

February 17 Class

I've been a silent observer for a while, but thought it was time to pipe up. I'm 11 on the Flightinfo list and got the call for the 17 Feb class last week. Within about 4 hours of the call, a second message came to my desk placing me on Stop Loss as of 15 Jan.

There appears to be a potential way around the stop loss, I just have to wait a week or two to see if works. Unfortunately in my current assignment, I won't be putting bombs on bad guys (unless this thing gets waaaay big) in this next shooting match, but I'm still potentially snagged in the administrative net, at least for now.

Congrats to all who have gotten calls, and hang in there to those who have yet to. I'll post more when I know more

March 3rd Class?

ivauir,

I hope you're right about me making the March 3rd class. LL told me earlier this month that I'm four classes away, based on 20 new hires per class. Is there a confirmed March 3rd class date or is this speculation. Congrats to all fellow poolies selected for the two February classes. Cheers.

 

[Flyboynfla]

Congrats!!!

I couldn't be happier for you all, I too can't wait to share a few brews with you all in DAL. Congratulations again!!

 

[Orionflyer]

Also got the call yesterday for the Feb 17 class. Not an "active poster", but an active reader. See everyone in Dallas.

Fourth Class

HOUMAN,

Any more news on the stop loss?

I am currently 153 in our pool which makes me somewhere between 200-250 on their pool. LL told me I was 11 classes out. Of course that includes the 2 months or so of stop loss Air Force folks near the front of the pack. I was going to take four month orders with my reserve squadron which I have now cut down to three. If stop loss kicks in those poor souls like Waco might not be able to get their class again. I'll get my class by summer hopefully - I hope y'all get out of the stoploss. If not I should probably cut my orders to two months to make it into class. Any thoughts?

Aloha, Les

Congrats guys,
I assure you it is worth the wait! LL and Jennifer are even nicer in person (if that is possible)! Everyone here (not just the new hire class) just loves working for SWA and once you get here you will understand why. Hope your spouses can come for the first 2 days...they will have a blast...1st class all the way. See you in Big D and congrats again!
