Hi all,
First off, I'd like to say congratulations to all of you guys and gals, pilots that have been getting the "call" recently. For the same reasons I pursued SWA, I think you all are about to embark on a truely rewarding ride.
I also have to say that thanks to this forum and your participation, it seems to me a great way to learn and network information concerning those in this industry. Heck in the last couple of weeks I've learned that indeed SWA is starting to drain the pilot pool, and up to @ 400 new hires plus @ 800 flight attendants, which is a good barometer to see how much staffing the additional 30 net, 737's will be requiring to fly them.
I am also swimming laps in the pool, and have been since September. It's the pool across the hall, the mx pool, actually it will be MDW to be exact. So it is encouraging to see hiring for the flt deck and cabin crews, and hopefully that will mean a few more a/c techs required as well.
Anyway, congratulations again gang, good luck to those of you interviewing, and the rest of us waiting to get out of the pool, keep our fingers and toes and eyes crossed that maybe this year it's coming.
