Live from Dallas......

I have heard nothing, except 360 in the pool. I'm digging for you guys/gals in the pool.

Things can and sometimes change quickly here.

Hang in there.

RightBettor,

I hear your pain! Your so close to the lifetime job, yet so far from being hired by a good corporate flight department. I don't know your location, but my experience in this situation is to get an "in between" flying job...like flying for a charter service. Someone with your experience would be very welcomed to fly for a small 135 operator at a local FBO. It won't pay well, but it'll get you current. Perhaps you've already tried this...I don't know...but that's what I'd do if I were in your shoes. Most 135 charter ops can't keep pilots because of the lack of schedule and pay...so they would be thrilled to have someone like yourself available to fly their aircraft...might be in a 210 or a 172...but at least it's something to fly. Just my thoughts...keep trying...something will come up.

Easy Righty....

There is going to be plenty of LUV for you and the rest of us poolies. They aint gonna change the felt and the rules on the craps table in mid roll.

You and the rest of us got lucky. Keep Rolling them dice and your number will come up hopefully sooner than later.

In light of recent announcements, I thought I would float this thread to the top of the pile again.

 

[tredding@swa]

thanks for the float Neo...

HOPE is once again our friend.....

Afew cold beers will be a great way to wash away the chlorine taste in some lucky Poolie's mouth.

Good Luck All, hope to see some of you low numbered folks drying off soon!!

Regards - Tred

If Tony says it then its true..Hes about the greatest guy out there..Straight shooter and no BS..

Sorry for the bad news..
Just reading a letter from Crumy..His side of the story is that this is going to be one of the worst Qs in the companys history..

Hang on..

 

[LiveFreeorDie]

WHO IS TONY?

Who is Crumy?

Thoth-- totally agreed with your post on the 3rd quarter thread. People are getting way too excited. I for one rather keep calm than keep getting excited just to have my hopes dashed.

Where did you hear the 4th Q is gonna blow?

 

[LiveFreeorDie]

Looks like T1bubba is the closest

If the Jan 03 rumor is true we may have a winner soon

 

[tredding@swa]

VP Flt Ops

I believe that "Crummy" = Greg Crumm, aka VP Flight Ops @ SWA?

Can' t wait to pay off this one, hope there is a winner REAL soon!!

Regards - Tred

Waited too long

Jan 3 for Slug. Start on Monday just after BCS game.

 

[McC]

I too waited too long, but better late than never!!!

I'm gonna jump on the January 6 bandwagon! I gotta, it's my wifes birthday - What a present that would be!!!

[LiveFreeorDie]

Ahh, didn't notice my date was previously taken...

could I change it to 7 Jan?

 

[HPaul3]

October 14th doesn't count?

Ummmmm,

Not to be pedantic, but....I believe I guessed October 14th. Did a class not start on October 14th? I believe one did. Granted, it was not a FULL class, which, believe me, I want more than anyone else, but it was a class. Can I get a little LUV?

Perhaps a "consolation prize" of a nice six-pack. I like amber beers .

Luv ya,
HPaul3

 

[ivauir]

you win the no prize!!

It'll be coming FEDEX, watch for it true believer!!!

Re: you win the no prize!!

Man, you're killing me over here, Iva . You could take this act on the road!

Too bad...I was really hoping for a cold one. Perhaps I should take my question to the People's Court.

Cheers!

Thanks HOUMAN

Thanks for breaking out the guesses for me!! I have not checked in for a while, could not take any more poorattitudes & gloom/doom....

"Things" do appear to be moving in the correct direction - break out a few towels for the lucky ones in the shallow end - can't wait to ship the prize out soon!!!

Regards - Tred

 

[tredding@swa]

Short List.... winner?

Looks as if there may be a winner here....? January is starting to look pretty good - here are the poolies with the January guesses:

02 Jan 03 T1bubba
06 Jan 03 JPB
06 Jan 03 RightBettor
06 Jan 03 Aplus9
08 Jan 03 OakRBust
09 Jan 03 Flyboynfla
13 Jan 03 Santini

In the event of a tie.... I will send the malt pops to the one who posted the date 1st. No hard feelings to those who guessed the same date later, just had to figure out a fair way to break the possible tie!!

Thanks to all who took the interest to play - sure am glad to be buying the prize!!!!!

Have a good one - Tred
