is 40 to 45 too old to get hired at a major?

He also mentioned new hires possibly going to A330, so freaking cool 4 them.

O.M.G. 40??? If you were a horse, you would be glue.

Expired glue, no less. (I'm almost 39, btw)

I'm used to that, being ex-Comair and all.

The last 3 classes at SWA and at least one guy over 50. Age ain't nothing anymore. Good luck.

Well the one I'm in currently (all new hires) ranges from 33-46 with a slight majority below 40.

Don't think it really matters though. SWA just looks for well qualified and easy to get along with.

And that has nothing to do with having a college degree and that is what makes SWA such a great place. They don't have HR only looking for a checked box on an application like a lot of "stuck up" airlines.

Do we really want to spool this up?

Which airlines are these that just look for the college degree checked box?

Sure, why not? Let's bring up age 72 (or whatever) also.

Alaska for one will not let you by the first page if you do not check the 4 yr degree.

Airlines that require a four year degree are trying to avoid hiring "loosers".

Like those "loosers" that get hired by SWA, JB, NJ etc?

 

[DCAA320]

You guys do realize it's spelled "losers." Right?
