No SWA classes until Jan 2004..

[kelbill]

Jan 04 class date sounds about right, but with SWA, anything could happen, such as a class or two at the end of the year. As for the training department handling 100 new hires a month as old Bill Nelson said, from what I've heard, that is too high. I'm thinking 6-700 a year until the new sims are in and construction is finished (they haven't even started) on essentially doubling the training center. And 6-700 a year would be pushing it too, especially with upgrades starting again. And this is from a guy who only benefits from more FOs below me, figuratively). Good luck to all poolies and keep the faith. If you haven't gotten the type yet, I know its a risk and a lot of money, but do it. SWA will be hiring like gangbusters here soon (barring any Osama repeat) and along with Jetblue we will be hiring the majority of those who get hired in the majors for the next 5+ years.
