Southwest "Poolie" calls are going out

[ivauir]

Us Trannies wont have to get typed...

Are you sure? Our training program is designed around pilots who are already typed. It will be interesting to see how they handle the 737 pilots.

I haven't heard anything about it over here, one way or the other it will get sorted out.

So if it's not about pay what is it about? If I can make a sh!t load of cash and retire early is that not it? Or maybe you want to fly till 65 not me no thanks. Cash is king my friend sorry.

Like I said, how much money is enough? When you have all the requirements covered, and can plan for retirement, how many toys do you need? If you can't make life work on FO pay at SWA, at anything beyond year 2, you've got problems!

True dat. Now back to the thread. Hopefully calls will start going out today or tomorrow. Good luck.

Trashcan,

You think the calls will go out this week? Have you heard anything that points to that?

I heard middle of the month when back in DAL so I "assumed" next week.

I was told in my re-interview that there would be a "captain board" on Fri the 5th. So I figured that calls should be going out anytime.

NEW HIRES! Song is a little long, but requires a couple beers. Enjoy!

Congrats man! Did he say anything about a class? What's the next step? Was it the DAL chief, or another base? I'm hoping to my call tomorrow.

Tejas-Jet is being a smart ass. He's already a pilot at SWA. Apparently he's forgotten what it's like to wait for a class date.

 

[nightfr8er]

Yeah, I was wondering about that after I posted it. Felt like I'd been had. Won't be the last time, I guess.

Us Trannies wont have to get typed.....I guess that makes us the smartest guys in the room. I will imagine my type came from many years of sub-par pay and horrible mgmt. On second thought....that makes me the dumbest guy in the room. Disregard.

Just returned from recurrent training in DAL. Instructors are saying trannies will get full new hire training as they are brought into system. PC will probably be a type rating ride. at least it will be free and u will be paid while u are in training. All trannies included even 737 cpts with types already. at least for the training

Calls today: I heard several poolies were NOT offered jobs. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

 

[DesertDuck]

It's confirmed.

 

[viperdawg]

Why are previously "hired" dudes not getting jobs now? Have any reasons for the rejections been given?
