Im afraid you are very correct..
I dont recall the exact words..But Herb has been quoted as having said that there will be two less majors before this is all over..
Just reading the financial data can give you a pretty good idea of who is near the top of the list..
If you want to work for SWA..Get busy...Get the type..Period..
The difference a year of seniority can make here is hard to even begin grasp when things start to happen..
But the thing that can have the greatest impact on your quality of life is timing..
Be close to the front of the wave and life is very,very good..
Short time on reserve...
Short time to the base you may want..
Shorter time to upgrade..
More money due to better schedule options..
Being the last guy out of the school house at the end of the wave can just plain suck..
Being on reserve for what may seem like forever..
Being in OAK far longer than you may want unless you happen to live there or close by..
Upgrading will be much,much longer than any of the guys in the first part of the wave..
And..Commuting while on reserve will impact your ability to earn more because you will have very limited options when it comes to moving your schedule around and picking up open time..
So..Again..If you are serious about working for what I think is one of if not the best run airlines out there..
Get busy..Get the type..Get good interview prep..Be ready when they call..
