I dont know about a place in SAT. My thoughs would be to all get together and drink a lot of beer until we can agree to disagree

What is the old line..."I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken..."?

Looks like SWA WILL in fact do a short interview with poolies offered classes early next year. Anyone got the details?

 

[MILPILOT17]

Where has Tanker Tool been?

I think you are wrong as usual. Swa knows the days of a major cost advantage are over. Currently they don't have a fuel cost advantage, nor a labor cost advantage. The days of cherry picking routes/hubs of others and growing organically are over. I will add for now as they have very sharp management that always seems to get an advantage. Call it lucky or good, it works. They are simply taking out a tough competitor. I am sure that they would rather have grown organically then this merger, but they knew that was impossible. The blood in the water is the subcontracted feed of the global carriers.

I think SWA smells blood in the water and is going to take some of the capacity that everyone else is pulling down.....

Nice mea culpa Albie. It's appreciated and far too rare around here.

As for the re-interview, here's the scoop: 1-hour sit-down with the PD and a line pilot to review your updated resume, logbook, PRIA paperwork and the like. Background checks to be updated as well. Need to provide references from any jobs you've had from date of previous interview. The re-interviews start tomorrow in DAL and running for the next few weeks so it seems.

Still waiting in the Clown to reappear, but as you pointed out a long time ago, his MO isn't to issue apologies or to be easy on SWA hopefuls. I think we all figured out he's a SWA guy anyway.

So is SWA's most poolee Jake Pavelka going to get hired?

 

[scoreboardII]

NO.

Albie, re-interview is nothing more than security check-up, make sure your still you, no DUI, still current, etc.

OK, that's funny...

 

[enigma]

When SWA begins to interview (not reinterview poolies), will they still use the same old SWA interview technique? Would it be hypocritical to hire a couple of thousand AirTran guys without an interview but still force a SWA interviewee to play the "tell me about a time" mind game?

Note: all of you "the SWA system is perfect because they hired me" guys just lost a major point for argumentation. Obviously, they changed their mind about the perfect SWA candidate.

I predict that the AirTran pilot group will quickly fit into the "culture"; I just hope that their success in integration shows some hiring teams that their input is not as necessary as they believe.

Nah, he didn't get a Rose from Torti.

 

[Ty Webb]

O well now I hit the street with a turboprop type and an "el grande RJ" type - just another mistake in the big mistake that I call my aviation career.

Man . . . Sorry to hear it. Hope you can get one of those gummint-paid-fer 737 type ratings, or find something good.

You're right enigma. We should save a few bucks on the interviews and just hire anyone who applies.

 

[Whataburger]

You owe me nothing. DO NOT put Tobasco on a Whataburger. For $.50 you can put jalapenos. I'm glad we're gonna hire.

 

[atpcliff]

Hi!

If U have a -190 type, you can make a LOT of money as a DEC flying in Asia. They have LOTS of -170/175/190 type jobs there.

The questions on the SWA interview are pretty much the same as the questions on the AirTran interview. The difference is that AirTran didn't do the crew scenario in front of the paper tiger. I think SWA was still doing that before they stopped interviews.
