My guess is 2-3 years.

2013 is what I am hearing. Intl training starts in spring of 2012.

I talked to some SWA females in DTW last night, DTW can be a bit foreign if you want it to.

What's that?

I guess the grass is always greener... You're at SWA. Quit your bitching. If you wanted int'l layovers, you shouldn't have picked a domestic carrier.

Not up on the news much, eh?
No bitching, just curious

Int'l training? Like what? It's not like you're going to be doing crossings for crying out loud. Going to the Bahamas and Mexico is about as challenging as going to ORD!

Why is this whole "Int'l" thing being discusses like it's some kind of tactical arrival into a warzone?

Don't accept vectors, stay on the airway, learn to plan your own let down from cruise......training complete!

You have 24 yr old RJ Capt's at regional carriers successfully flying non-precision approaches into SLW every day. What's the big deal? I'm not taking anything away from those regional guys either. They do it plenty well! It's just not that demanding.
