No SWA classes until Jan 2004..

OK, here we go again...

Let's see the latest bets

The only firm guess date so far is:

5 jan 2003: PTinbound, Sugardaddy and Jimbo.

We also have fuzzy estimates of:

? Oct 2003 : xXpress
? Dec 2003 : MILWINGBORN, ICEBERG Club

Any other takers out there??

5 jan 2003: PTinbound, Sugardaddy and Jimbo.

? Oct 2003 : xXpress
? Nov 2003 : Bill, AJWick
? Dec 2003 : MILWINGBORN, ICEBERG Club

To make it a little bit more sporty (all you guys who have only given a month), how about a specific day (as a hint they normally start classes on mondays).

Hey guys,

Just read through the thread and it helped me feel a lot better... I am coming up on 8 months in the Alaska pool and wondering when the uncertainty is going to end... That's nothing compared to what you've gone through... 534 days and counting - looks like some of you will be near two years by the time you're really hired. I hope you get classes soon. Keep the faith.

FL510GV,
If LL is correct with her estimates, it will be a little over 2 years ( 25 months or 658 days to be exact.) when I should dry off.

Here's to another 6 months of bobbin in the pool. I hope you get out of your pool much quicker.

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.
