Well Taz
Why are you on the Fractional board if you are a shoe in at Southwest?
Chill out man.
You aren't applying for Top Gun. You are appling for F.O.!
When I interviewed I was ask what aircraft I wanted?
Like a military guy I said "whatever the company needs me in". They said, "no pick one".
I said "OK" BBJ. They all laughed and said "Youre not gonna get the BBJ".
I said, "Then why did you ask"? They laughed at that as well.
I have great respect for Navy "Carrier" pilots, It's gotta take big balls to land on a carrier at night!
I can only relate to "Hedge Hopping" behind a gaggle of Apaches on NVG's. That takes balls too.
I also have great respect for guys that flew night cargo in crap weather while paying back the horrendous student loans they got while paying for their ratings. That kind off commitment takes balls too.
I also respect those people that got their time as CFI's teaching brand knew no time rookie bozo's how to fly. (You guessed it, takes balls and patience)
So, I guess I'm saying check the attitude at the door, and realize that everybody paid some dues.
I hope you succeed, looking at your credentials I would love to swap stories with you out on the line.
Also realize, you carreer path doesn't a reflect customer service backround. (You do probably have alot of experience "Servicing" a target!!!, not the same)
Work on that aspect, youre clearly qualified in the flying arena.
Good group of pilots here. They all have great career stories, I feel like I have heard it all.
Good luck.
